New look in the shop! My British Colonial corner

I love British Colonial, sometimes called British West Indies, or British Campaign, which are really sub-categories of the look. It is warm with pretty dark wood tones, rich in pattern and detail, mix of metals, and always looks curated and collected. I also like the West Indies influence with crisp colors combined with dark woods and neutral textiles. It's like Downton Abbey with a tan!

I have been acquiring pieces that feed this look. And, I added the final touches to the look today in my Colonial Corner by placing the rugs on the wall.

What do you think?

Get the look: British Colonial

British Colonial is a timeless look. Look for these hallmarks to create your British Colonial look:
Dark wood tones
Textural woods- bamboo, natural wicker, rattan, cane
Pretty rich metals, including brass and silver
Clean lines
Whites with crisp brights or whites with vintage dusty colors


Dark woods, clean lines, neutral palette with a hint of animal print!

Still from Out of Africa. Great textural woods
