British Colonial Furniture & Interior Home Guide

British Colonial Decor came about in the late 19th century. The merging of British, Asian and Indian themes brought about British Colonial Style and Decor. Plantation style Takht tables, rugged wood patinas, an abundance of natural flora and fauna were enjoyed indoors as well as outdoors.

Frequently the furniture found in British Colonial rooms is traditionally British in style, but embellished with Indian designs. Light colored walls with free flowing light weight sheer curtains or cotton voiles gives an elegant touch to the decor. Choose from brass cladded trunks, dark stained teak chairs, carved chests & more. Relaxed and travelled, this style will cool and freshen up your space.

Bring British Colonial style to your home with unique handcrafted furniture like the teak carved armoires, trunk tables, old door tables & dark teak doors used as headboards. Combining refined British pieces with exotic materials and natural textures, this look evokes the spirit of the “age of discovery”.The accessories used to accent the decor are from local Indian artisans. For example, the addition of jharokha mirrors and ornately carved headboards are typical of the Anglo-Indian style. Botanical motifs & paisleys, with monochromatic wood armoires and colorful Indian doors give interiors a new twist.
