If you find that your house has a room, such as a guest room, which may not fit thematically with the other rooms, you may want to consider giving it a simple British Colonial look. Giving your room the British treatment doesn’t have to require a major repaint; instead it may involve purchasing some common pieces to give the space a pronounced feel.
Replicating British Colonial décor could be simply placing fine-polished picture frames on the walls with black and white or sepia-toned photographs or reprints of old Sears Roebuck catalogs. Also placing a tiny weaved or wooden chest on a bedside table would be a great look. Tropical plants can also assist in filling out some of the empty space in the room.
These little additions with a bit of effort could greatly improve upon a room that may have just been the plain part of your home.
Thanks to outlets like the Home and Garden Channel and the Learning Channel, home improvement ideas are easier than ever. The thing about those television shows is that they give the twofold illusion that you need to knock down a wall or two and have a few thousand dollars at your disposal.
