Time-worn furniture and nostalgic touches create a vintage look in your home or garden. Here are a few ideas to help create an idillic English country charm.
- Start with a palette of creams, pale greens and pinks.
- Miss-match floral patterns to create a sense of summer all year long.
- Lightly distress pots, wooden planters or seed trays with sand paper.
- For that extra country feel add hanging hearts, slate, fresh flowers and potted plants.
- Give tired furniture a new rustic life by painting it matt white and distress.
- Use worn ironwork to add a romantic and elegant touch.
