The British have always preferred to keep the dining area brightly lit for both aesthetic and practical reasons. Keep the chandelier lights intact in the dining area. Bamboo shades will lend an ideal soothing look to the bar area. For the background, keep the curtains in bright colors like beige with peach and purple for the royal look. Again opt for matching silk valences to add to the ambience. Go for more dim shades in the sitting area. Keep in mind the colors you pick as it should suit the mood of the overall dcor. Go ahead. Decorate your pad in the British style dcor and win accolades for your efforts.
