English country is a relaxed, comfortable and unpretentious style, yet is somewhat more cluttered.
In English country style, you will find mainly pine furniture, and overstuffed upholstered furnishings in casual pastel colors in chintz fabrics.
Floral patterns are extremely popular as are paisleys.
Colors in English country style are normally soft and/or natural (such as off whites, pale yellows, mossy greens, earthy reds and taupe's).

Furnishings in the kitchen may include a large pine kitchen table and open china cabinet displaying dishes with a mismatch of chairs (there could be a couple of antique chairs, and a couple of British colonial style chairs, etc.) The furniture is normally solid and sturdy and as mentioned, made from pine (or it can be made from oak).
The English decorate and accessorize with more of an eclectic style mixing antique pieces, collectibles, Chinese porcelain, fancy tea pots, blue and white china, stacked books and mementos, with newer items.
Opened beamed ceilings and whitewashed walls are trademarks of the English country look.
