BRITISH COLONIAL
Subtle | Sophisticated | Fresh
British Colonial interiors are inspired by the style common throughout the colonisation of Africa, Asia, and the West Indies, and include lightweight cotton fabric for drapes, curtains, and beds. The most common colour palette includes a mix of whites, beiges, and browns to produce a subdued and subtle look.
Flowers and plants are consistently used throughout the home to provide a fresh feel. Furniture is made of materials such as ebony, teak, and mahogany wicker with travel trunks that have brass latches and rivets, making up the popular items during the heyday of this era.
