How to get the downton abbey look in your home
The new series of Downton Abbey has us glued to the telly on a Sunday evening. We stare in awe at the grandeur of the place; admiring not only the vintage costumes but the furnishings and furniture. We're talking upstairs of course; downstairs life was lacking colour, everything plain bland and downright boring in comparison. If you love vintage and want to bring a the style of Downton into your humble abode we'll show you how. Think along the lines of the palace of Versailles to capture the grandeur and scale it down to fit the size of your home.

Full length curtains in a luxury fabric like velvet should be swept open and held in place with tassel tie-backs. Beautiful wooden floors are nearly entirely covered by large rugs. Don't forget a large impressive ceiling light – a chandelier would be ideal.House and Garden
White claw foot baths are a must; pastel shades or cream are perfect for wall colours.

Always dine at the table and always use crisp white table linen, polished wine glasses and your finest cutlery. The inhabitants of Downton don't slum it in front of the telly (That's because they didn't have one!).
