Cosmopolitan Living in London

London is no longer exclusive to offering traditional English living. If you look around various residential establishments, you will find architectural and interior designs that are no longer purely evident of British and Irish heritage. Except for historic houses, cathedrals, churches, and monuments, you will notice a fusion of varying elements. While there are embroidered and appliqué curtain panels, there are also bamboo and shell craft blinds. While there are chequered and striped slip covers, there are also printed and flowery bed sheets and pillow cases.

Nevertheless, if you wish to add an English accent to your own home, you may follow the distinct styles of specific eras like: Romanesque (reliance on sheer bulk and rounded arches), Elizabethan (symmetrical layout and formal garden), Baroque (curved shapes, strong lines, and rich colours), Georgian (formalised system of proportions), Gothic (vertical lines, vaulted ceilings, pointed windows and doors), etc.
