 
• English Country can range from casual to formal and based on practicality.
• Traditionally, country cottages were the homes of villagers and farm workers with simple, unsophisticated tastes.
• Materials and furniture were basic and functional, and often locally made.
• Background colors are instinctively taken directly from nature.
• Autumnal colors are best; pale and rich chestnuts, greens, creams pale yellows and oranges blend perfectly giving a warm cozy effect.
• Remember to keep shades muted, however; stark or bright colors shriek of disharmony and give the appearance of new cottage living for the chic townsmen.
Accessories
• Handmade rugs, blankets, rage rugs, patterned cushions and the embroidered rugs draped over armchairs, family heirlooms.
• Make sure the fabrics look worn. Overstuffed, comfortable furniture is also a necessity. Curtains are usually simple designs, lightweight, small-patterned fabrics probably work best for small rooms and the right length is just below the sill level. No Sew Curtains
