Colours
Colours can be both bright and muted. Modern English style in interior design is distinguished by a variety of romantic patterns and floral prints. Hues are pulled from nature, including the pinks and yellows from roses in an English garden or the greens from the rolling hills of the countryside and, features three or four colors and should make the room appear cozy.

Patterns

Using similar colour palettes in the patterns keep this from becoming overwhelming. Slipcovers for sofas and chairs are an easy way to bring English print patterns and colour into the room without buying new furniture.
