Origin: England, the interior style of manor and country houses, favoured over centuries and still revived today.
The English country house recalls manor and country homes with layered, cosy interiors. Typical traits include floral and striped fabrics, deep soft armchairs, patterned rugs, full bookcases, antique timber furniture, pictures hung across walls and many fresh flowers. The space is not staged to perfection but looks accumulated over generations, giving a lively feel full of stories.
In Vietnam the style suits villas and garden houses. Choose washable printed cotton, dark jointed timber furniture and thin rugs that dry easily instead of thick carpets. humid coastal regions humidity makes heavy fabrics and wallpaper prone to mould, so ventilate and use a dehumidifier. Tame the pattern by holding one unifying base colour, then choose florals and stripes from the same palette.
