vintage style









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.
