Provence in the interior: breath of the lavender province

Close your eyes and imagine the endless sea of ​​lavender bushes, the endless lavender field... This is picturesque Provence - a province that is conveniently located in the southeast of France. It was from this fabulous place that the name Provence ("French country") got its name, which rapidly went through Europe in the 19th century. The French provincial style is an escape from the noisy bustle of the city into a quiet abode of tranquility and inspiration.

Nowadays, Provence is popular in urban and suburban interiors. Simplicity, charm, elegance merge into a single symphony of gentle sound. And this means that in such an interior you will not find flashy colors - only soft, muffled, bed tones from creamy to purple.

A distinctive feature of the style is the use of a large number of flowers: topiary, vases and baskets with herbal compositions, ikebana, fresh and dried flowers. Floral note - leading in the party of "French country".

In the design of the walls, as a rule, wallpaper is not used. Instead of them - plaster, and the more roughness and roughness, the better. The walls are often decorated with paintings with floral, landscape themes. Forged parts are thin and have elegant smooth bends.

Traditional Provence flooring is made of wood. This material can also be used in decorating the ceiling and walls. Furniture is also mostly wooden. Wicker chairs look advantageous. Such an abundance of wood material is not accidental: the goal of designers is to get as close to the natural beginning as possible. Moreover, wooden elements are certainly covered with white paint. An exception is the ceiling cross beams of a dark contrasting color.

In the bedroom, make the main emphasis on a large bed with carved legs, an openwork back, small pillows and a quilt. The breath of antiquity will bring faded paint to the interior on a chest of drawers, cupboard, sideboard, table or chairs. Doors should also correspond to the general mood - light, artificially aged and decorated with floral elements. High spacious windows from the floor with white frames will fit perfectly into the interior.

Do not forget about trinkets of porcelain, fabric and ceramics important for Provence, add ruffles, sewing, natural lace, richelieu and then your interior will breathe elegance, elegant simplicity and the charm of antiquity.
