English style is famous for being super refined and chic, and I can’t imagine a cozier space than a traditional English farmhouse. Want to implement some classic English style decor ideas into your home? No problem! I’ve got a bunch of ideas you can easily use for giving your room light chic of English decor.
Traditional English interiors can’t be imagined without floral prints, plaid, wainscoting and paneling, chic curtains and other textiles like rugs, bedspreads and tablecloths, and of course a gorgeous fireplace! You can easily incorporate all of these touches into any interior but of course if you want a strong English flavor, stick to vintage items and prints. Let’s have a look at the coolest examples to try.
Floral Prints
Floral prints are classics, and they have always been an indispensable part of English interiors. You can incorporate them into your room decor in different ways, and the most popular is rocking floral print wallpaper. The print can be realistic or not, there are lots of colors to choose from, and the scale of prints can be various, too. One more idea is hanging floral print curtains for a sweet touch, and floral print upholstery is a great way to add English chic. Floral prints are extremely trendy now, and rocking them in decor you will not only add English chic but also get trendy details.

Fireplaces
A fireplace is a great piece for any space, from a modern to an industrial one, here only the look should be chosen right to fit the space. If we take traditional English fireplaces, they are usually clad with stone, and you can make a whole stone wall and build a fireplace in it. You can also use a hearth – it can not work, just create a mood. Electric fireplaces are great too, just cover them with stone, brick or tiles that fit the style.

Paneling
Paneled walls used to be usual for home decor in old times they could be seen in most rich homes, and now they are often used, too. This is another traditional English feature that may become an organic part of most of interiors, from minimalist to glam ones. Paneling makes the walls look more dimensional and refined, this is a perfect idea for neutral or pastel walls, though they will look cool with dark colors, too. Besides, you can hide some storage behind these panels to keep the clutter away – what a great solution!
