I like the room but, I don’t like the mixture of the colors of the fabrics on the chairs.

that's very beautiful but it is not what I think of as British colonial. But then I think of it as campaign furniture, heavy Chippendale, palm trees, those fans used by the cabana boys, indoor/outdoor shutters to protect the interiors from the gales, moquito nets, rattan and rosewood chairs. The windows are reminiscent of BC as is the light-colored sofa.

I once (thought) decorated in British Colonial and it looked a lot like this except I had ivory trim, coffered ceilings and wheat colored walls.

Whatever the design I'll take it. It is lovely.

I would never have this for my home but I could see being invited to visit and appreciating it all (if that makes sense lol!)

Both @jubilant's OP and the room posted by @Nonametoday are really very appealing rooms, but the second reads more as British Colonial to me. The OP doesn't strike me as being of that style at all.

I do like both rooms. The first reminds me of a British living room in India when the British occupied the country. It looks warm and inviting.

Lovely yes, and to me just a traditional decor. Nothing whatsoever about British Colonial.

I love this one. Not feeling the original post.

The first room is very pretty but not for me..I would love it in a home I visit.

I can't tell if the walls are wallpaper or tile.

I really like the second room..beautiful and warm.

I do not like the green chair and gold chair with that sofa. Looks like amateur design work gone wrong for the room.

The sofa & tables in the first room are ok, but not loving the rest. I like the furnishings better in the second room minus the pear artwork.

The sofa is OK but there's not much else I care for in this room.

I am not familiarwith British Colonial but this looks good. I especially like the pear painting above the fireplace.

The first photo room give me the sense of English dry and emotionally stilted. Love the second.

LOL! Dry and emotionally stilted....now that's a new room description for me! Not exactly sure what it means but I think it would be easy to take this room to a more casual cozy look with a few minor adjustments.
