English living room furniture often has an ancestral and traditional style. The pieces don't necessarily have to be antiques, but they will have a vintage look and feel to them. Their styles and materials are reminiscent of a bygone era when fine details took priority over mass-produced products. At least one comfy sofa with a generous serving of cushions is required, and unlike minimalism, the English country style embraces wear and tear and believes that shabby can still be chic.
