The English are remarkably good at creating lovely cottage interiors and exteriors. The one thing both these spaces have in common is flowers. Who doesn't love an English garden? The English cottage interior follows suit and brings that English garden inside through the use of pretty floral chintz fabrics. Add in a touch of lace, some needlepoint, framed art hung on the walls, a surplus of books, your cherished collectibles, and some wonderful English antiques and you will have succeeded in creating that cozy, layered, relaxed and feminine English cottage interior. Floral chintz has always been the go to fabric for the English cottage interior and with it's recent rise once again in popularity, now is a particularly good time to design that English cottage look you have always dreamed about. Don't mistake the look for Granny or Shabby Chic, as authentic English interiors are not loaded down with ruffles, lace, and doilies. Yes, you can use a bit here and there, but restrain, restrain, restrain, from "going Granny". I hope the pictures I have collected will help you if this very distinctive look is what you are after. Be sure to incorporate chintz to bring your English cottage interior into bloom! via Pinterest Chintz is a glazing that is applied, usually to a floral cotton textile, that gives it a crisp texture and a muted shine. This wonderful fabric can be used formally or dressed down for a casual English cottage appearance. myfairylily.tumblr.com You can create the English cottage look by using a saturation of chintz......or simplify the look with small touches of floral chintz in the form of pillows, lampshades, footstools.....you get the picture. Chintz works well with ticking and other stripes, plaids, toile, and paisley so be sure and use an interesting mix. posy.typepad.com Here a bit of chintz at the cottage window, some pretty antique china, and of course a bouquet of flowers guarantees a soft feminine vignette. madeliefje-madelief.blogspot.com dailymail.co.uk A comfy floral chintz upholstered side chair is almost a requirement for the English cottage interior. google.com yorkshirelife.co.uk Of course a chintz covered sofa is equally as pretty.

Don't forget to treasure hunt for a pretty tea set. You can't have the English cottage look without one! theenglishhome.co.uk I prefer touches of chintz as opposed to saturation. However, the English cottage room can go either way. Look for colorful handmade rugs! This is a great color for walls in this type of interior. Nicky Haslam countrylife.co.uk bhg.com The quintessential element of any pretty English cottage room is a floral print. Here you can see a variety of ways to bring florals to your space. periodliving.co.uk The English cottage is usually a home brimming with personality, charm, and lots of chintz!

WollWorks.com and handmade needlepoint pillows are the perfect partnership for an English cottage interior. I was fortunate that my mother taught me to needlepoint so I can make my own. You can find them at antique malls, flea markets, estate sales, or on Ebay. They are out there and can be found at good prices. via Pinterest sharonscrapbook.blogspot.com I love this English cottage interior. Chintz floral fabric at the window and on the pillows livens things up a bit. Florals don't have to be vivid to be pretty as this room points out. preppyemptynester.blogspot.com The homeowner of this English cottage interior has used floral chintz slipcovers. If you are crafty, make some for your chairs to help you with the cottage look.

But it has to be done well or it can really go south on you.

A lovely chintz covered window in British textile designer Louise Townsend's cottage home.

I love the chintz covered sofa with bullion fringe trim but would lose the ruffles on the pillows. frenchcountrycottage.net Here in this English cottage space several patterns are at work. The chintz is brought into the mix with the addition of floral pillows.

Here the same pattern is present on the bed skirt, headboard, curtains and chair upholstery. Designer Betsy Speert Small rooms look fantastic in a wall-to-wall chintz style paper.

The English cottage interior's charm lies in it's eccentricity and clutter. It's a style to have fun with and enjoy immensely. And chintz is at the core of the look.

My birthday weekend was something I had been dreaming about for a while! I had scouted out this place about 4 years ago and told Brandon I really wanted to go one day. Earlier this year we were talking about birthdays and I happened to look up the availability ( which is usually ALWAYS booked up ) and MY BIRTHDAY WEEKEND WAS OPEN, I was soo happy so we booked the time right away. THE END! :)) I knew coming to this place I would NOT be disappointed and I sure wasn’t. We played around with sheep and chickens as they roamed around the property and they also tried coming into the cottage lol. Alexis and Manny left us a welcoming gift for when we got there- a basket of fresh eggs, milk, butter and A LOAF OF BANANA BREAD! like c’mon- I nearly cried. Needless I could go on but these photos will do the talking.

We painted our floors again! If you missed our original posts about painting our floors you can check those out here & here.
