British Colonial décor 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.
