Our best English country dining room decor ideas will give you plenty of ideas for decorating your dining room in the rural English cottage style.

This means there’s more square footage to work with and more to think about!

English country decor is a style that many people want to adopt for their homes, even if they don’t live in an 18th century castle in the rural hills of England! This charming cottage style can fit in appropriately in a wide variety of homes. No matter where you live, we have tips for you to learn how to decorate in this popular English decorative style.

 

English Country Dining Room Decor

The dining room is primarily a place to share meals with our friends and family. It must be welcoming, open, and easy to access. Everyone should feel comfortable in their seat at the dining room table. Aside from the obvious table and chairs, you’ll need a good lighting source, a place for storage, and perhaps an area rug to make your dining room complete. Wall art and curtains are a good idea, too.

Let’s go over some of the best English country dining room decor ideas to inspire you!
