The Provence style is characterized by a combination of bright color spots in the decor on a common warm pastel background, the use of forging elements and natural finishing materials. In the living room with large windows that overlook the southern side, this French style will look especially harmonious.
Finishing
For wall decoration, you can dwell on textured wallpaper or simply level them and cover with water -based paint. When choosing shades, you should take into account the size of the room and its illumination. For a small and bright living room, the use of light yellow shades is perfect, and for large-delicate lavender color.
In every living room in the south of France there is a warning fireplace and body, but in our apartments you will have to be content only with its imitation. A fireplace placed on a small stepped podium will take a central place in the living room, all other furniture items will be installed around it.
Decorations
It is difficult to enter modern household appliances into this ancient French style. Immediately make a reservation that even the thinnest panel of the plasma TV will be dissolved with the overall style of the room. Therefore, there is only one way out – modern benefits of civilization skillfully mask! The easiest way will be to arrange a niche for a TV, which should be closed with a screen of fabric suitable in tone to the wallpaper. The niche can also be decorated as another window and decorated with fabric curtains in stripes or flower (ideally – the same as the real window), how to do it read here.
Furniture
If we talk about the rest of the furniture, then the living room, decorated in the Provence style, can not do without pot -bellied chests of drawers and tables with curved legs that breathe distant antiquity. Well -preserved pre -revolutionary furniture is easy to give an old French look. Modern furniture can be aged artificial ways by giving a tree of fading and adding characteristic cracks, the presence of which is considered a special nuance in this style.
So that ordinary chairs and sofa harmoniously fit into the rustic style of the French living room, you can use stitched covers from natural fabrics (it is best to give preference to rough cotton or linen, but it is worth refusing to refuse from exquisite silk or cheap synthetics).
To give the interior home simplicity and cute comfort, textiles in a rich red-blue cage or large blue flowers are suitable. It should be remembered that truly furniture will “play” only against the background of walls designed in neutral-pave tones.
Now it is considered extremely fashionable when the upholstery on furniture repeats the pattern on the curtains. It is difficult to achieve such an effect on their own, but numerous furniture wrapping workshops will come to the rescue of this issue.
It is possible to achieve unity of style by selecting furniture upholstery and window curtains in one color scheme, but with various ornaments – a ornate plant pattern can settle on curtains, and an interesting strip on furniture – an interesting strip.
