A Walk in the English Countryside

Posted by Paige Albright on


The quintessential English country home contains an eclectic maximalist look that is even better when messy and mis-matched

Mixing antiques with modern pieces while mismatching wallpaper & upholstery patterns (florals and stripes). The edits are made over time and collected as your life evolves, never brought in specially but well loved and inherited through generations.

How to Achieve English Country Style:
-bringing the outdoors in with fresh flowers and live plants
-large overstuffed and comfortable sofa
-worn occasional chairs
-needlepoint pillows
-antique textiles & carpets
-mixed prints, chintz and wallpaper

This years’ Antiques at the Gardens has us reflecting on some of our favorite English designers. See below and visit the gardens this weekend for endless inspiration.
