About British

The British style collection brings regal sophistication to your home. Browse our collection for British lighting, furniture and décor with understated elegance and a sense of history.

What Is British Style?

For more than 400 years, the British colonized vast areas of North America, Australia, Africa and more. Through all those cultural interactions, British style maintained its own characteristics while adding touches of the exotic into the mix. A modern British style home leans toward traditional or transitional looks, with a penchant for an eclectic warmth we now call the Grandmillenial grandeur trend. Keep the walls a solid color and layer up the textures, light fixtures and heirloom pieces for a cozy British design.

Layered British Style Lighting

Light up your British look with a combination of overhead, indirect and task lighting. Start with an understated chandelier for ambient light with a stately drum shade. Add in wall sconces in burnished brass to warm up the walls and balance the overall illumination. Choose a few table lamps for a traditional feel and the convenience of focused reading light. Whether it’s elegant glass pendants or a floor lamp, a mix of lighting options creates the soft, diffuse atmosphere common in British style.

Furniture & Décor Fit for a King

Add a few pieces of British style furniture for a touch of royal flair or fill an entire room for a stately English effect. Choose Victorian style furniture to evoke the era of greatest power for the British Empire with sumptuous size and rich ornamentation. Browse the credenzas, cabinets and armoires that offer excellent British furniture options. Find décor options in our collection like art prints and sculptures that bridge Britain’s long history with a modern outlook.
