British Colonial style reflects the adaptations British settlers made in tropical colonies—think India, the Caribbean, and parts of Africa. Hallmarks include airy verandas, large windows with shutters, high ceilings, and a blend of European furniture with local materials like rattan or mahogany.
During the 18th and 19th centuries, British colonial officials living abroad incorporated local building methods to cope with heat and humidity. Over time, this fusion produced a distinctive style marked by casual sophistication and global eclecticism. It remains popular in resort architecture and interior design circles.
