My family is Jamaican and the way my grandmother and great aunts decorated their homes were very Caribbean British colonial and I love this style! The details are everything and the greenery of the plants here and there with beautiful dark wood furniture, and the way they hung photos on the walls. I really wish I played more attention to how they decorated, set a table, arranged flowers, wrote thank you cards or holiday cards etc with stamps and beautiful pens and paper etc. The whole thing I’m just realizing was an art and chic and with care. ❤️
Wow the small touches and moments of beauty you are so special! I can imagine you have so many fond memories xx Thank you for sharing
What beautiful memories of you Caribbean aunts and grandmother ❤I loved Tobago myself. First went wen it was still a fairly quiet, undeveloped island. Beautiful memories!!❤🌴🏝🗺
FINALLY! Someone who put my style into words and pictures. Thank you!!!
This is so great to hear Frio! It's such a beautiful style and happy you enjoyed the video x
This is my favourite style, I love the feeling it provokes, high tea, drinks on the large covered porches, rich woods and finishes, like some scene from an old film. Loved pieces on display. I expect to see Humphrey Bogart of Peter Ustinov sitting in one of the chairs. So bougeouis and relaxing
It is one of my favourite styles to! So relaxing xx
My grandfather was in the US Army for 38 years, my father for 25, serving throughout Asia and Central and South America. Much of our furniture and home furnishings come from their travels. It is very similar to this style. But instead of British Colonial style, we refer to it jokingly as American Imperialism.
Hi Virginia it sounds like your home was rich in history and stories! Lovely to hear your story x
Just love this style, it’s natural, luxurious, antique meet Sunday market and seamlessly melt in the best of East and West. Our home has Indochine aesthetic, very similar to this.
Thank you for watching Brendan! Your home sounds beautiful and love your description of the style - especially the Antique meets Sunday Market with East & West influence x
My absolute favorite style! Never had a clue what I liked but always knew I would know it literally the split second I laid my eyes on it this is it loving it for years

Just what I was looking for for inspiration. Trying to decorate in colonial style. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching Naana! :)
Well, I was having a hard time trying to figure out my design style but I've decided it's British Colonial. Who knew? ❤️ I also love the Parisian Style.
I love both of those styles as well Gina! They definitely transport your senses as so many beautiful elements xx
I have always loved this style, and the examples in this video are all amazing!

I love the relaxed, casual vibe of British Colonial style. It's perfect for warm weather climates like the one I'm now living in, and I've been thinking about incorporating some of its design elements into my home. Thank you for this beautiful and inspiring video.
Hi Patricia, thank you for watching. I am so happy you were able to draw inspiration from the visuals xx
Great video! I am in love with most Tommy Bahama furniture and goods lately... IMO, very colorful ial style friendly.
Thank you Vicky! Ah sounds beautiful - yes love the look and feel of Tommy Bahama as well. Thank you for watching x
This style is classic! I love it!
Thank you Vivian! It is one of my favourites too :) xx
They don't believe in less is more! I can appreciate the outdoor gardens and beautiful countryside!

Thank you! Best British colonial inspiration I've seen:)
Thank you Becky! Happy you enjoyed the video :)
Yes, not doing Florida tropical here..lol.
Anyone remember that store The Bombay Co.? That used to be my favorite furniture store in the mall. Perfect place for this style. Was sad to see it close.
Thank you for sharing :) xx

Yes, I remember Bombay Co! I can still remember exactly where in the shopping mall they were located, and they had some nice furniture.
It took me a long time to get over losing the Bombay store. I have so many wonderful pieces from there .
Beautiful style and cosy, I love it.
Thank you for an informative video. It was great hearing an Aussie accent too.
Thank you so much Kellie! Have a great week ahead :) x
Sooo far my favorite style maybe cause the tropical feeling so fresh have everything that I love thank you so much for sharing God bless you 🤗
Hi Ana, how funny I was going to recommend you watch this video in response to your last comment about doing a video on tropical style but saw you had already watched this afterwards. I am happy you enjoyed it! xx
Beautifullll!!
Gorgeous and timeless, so classic
Thank you for watching Angela! xx
I definitely see some aspects of British colonial that I would incorporate in my small house. It looks like you might have to have a large space to accommodate some of the heavier furniture but there are also some smaller pieces that would work well in my small space. Greatly appreciated video
Hello bwiseok, one of the things I love about this style is that even though there are some larger furniture pieces, many are light-weight and easy to move throughout the home due to the materials used. I believe this is because campaign furniture was designed for travel. I'd love to know what elements you see incorporating in your space! xx
From Chas SC & besides all the rattan, this pretty much sums up most of the older homes! I just adore it. I'd love a huge swing on the piazza to sit on during the summer!
Ahhh yes a porch swing sounds so lovely Annie! Thank you for watching xx
So beautiful!!😍 Thank you.🌿
Thank you so much for watching :) xx
Love this style
Awesome! Everything is beautifully done.

O I’ve just gained new light into what actually I like . Bless you this video has given a lot of clarity. All this while I’d be looking at tropical decor but it wasn’t it.
I am so happy you found more of your style Shade! Yes Island/Tropical style has some similarities but I love the raw, darker hues and materials in this style xx
BEAUTIFUL

Thank you so much Helen! So glad you resonate with this style xx
It’s so gorgeous. ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thank you Karen xx
Amazing 😻
Thank you Idania! xx
As a Parisian , this style is not very present here (we have "Compagnie des Indes et de l'Orient etc... from the colonial past of France, but it is more Asian and very modernly reduced). I am so in love with it, may be due to being an adventurer and traveller... thanks for the video, such an inspiring pleasure. Love you timeless approach to ID and your different style videos
Hi Johanna, thank you for sharing! I miss Paris so much, I am always in awe of the architecture and history. This is definitely a worldly design style as you mention, influenced by culture & personal experiences. I too love this style. Have a beautiful day xx
So good bruh
Je rêve de changer pour se style. Merci 🙏♥️🎶
Thank you! xx
This is absolutely super xxxA
Thank you Anne :) xx
BC my favorite

Susie I do love that Raffles Look for Qld. XxxAnnie
Great idea Annie! Very much so xx
Is it me or does British colonial style with the Island style ?. I am so happy I found these beautiful. Lots of idea for my house in the Dominican 🇩🇴 Republic . Hugs ❤
Yes definite similarities! Especially in the materials used. I’d say British colonial had a darker colour palette compared to the vibrancy of island style xx
🖤
Amen 🙏 I receive now
💰🙏💰🙏💰🙏💰🙏💰
Thank you so much, Suzie. Do you know of any online store that features British Colonial furniture and accessories?
Hi Suse! Where are you based? We have a British Colonial collection on our website www.suzieandersonhome.com/collections/shop-british-colonial-style I can also try putting together a collection on our amazon page. Let me know :) xx
@@suzieandersonhome Thank you, Suzie. I'm in the State of Michigan in the United States.
@suzieandersonhome Oh, and, yes, I would appreciate am Amazon store for British Colonial decor.
The theme of interior design is so interesting! Maybe someone will tell me free courses, like a course from planner 5d. I really liked it
Wow it looks like old Paniolo Plantation Style
Thank you for watching, I will have to look up that style! x
Hawaiian
i dont see colonial...colonial to me is primitive. these look more traditional as i see it. they are beautiful designs none the less.
Thank you for your feedback Nikki :) Happy to hear you appreciated the designs
As a British Caribbean, this really doesn't sit right with me. Am I the only one seeing all the issues with this. I'm redecorating my new flat now and researching true caribbean heritag to inject life in me decor piecies. "British Colonial Style" sounds and looks like it's stripes all the joys of the vibrant culture of the Caribbean, Asia and Africa only selecting a more palatable version of the cultures. Not for me at all.
Thanks for your feedback Studio Nelle. I hope you find the inspiration you are after to redecorate your new flat. Have a great 2023. Suzie
Style of thieves. Colonial criminals, looters of the world.
Hello Golden Angel, I am sad to hear you received the video this way. By no means are we sharing or celebrating such a history. We are sharing some style tips for decorating with rattan, free-standing furniture, colours e.t.c I wish you all the best xx
Get over yourself and your victim mentality, Golden Angel.
I am from Cyprus, decorated my Cypriot Bungalow with mixed British Colonial and Cypriot (Mediterranean) style
Hello Fazilet! Wow what a beautiful and intriguing combination. I can imagine it is quite unique xx
