Principles of Provence-style home design
Use of soft colors: The Provence style is characterized by the use of a neutral color palette, creating a calm and harmonious look. Common shades in Provence design:
White and cream shades: The use of white and cream shades serves as a neutral background, which highlights the other natural colors and textures in the home.
Earth tones: Such as terracotta, sandy beige or brown, will provide warmth and a sense of simplicity.
Pastel colors: The delicate pastel colors will add a quiet color that blends with the neutral shades.
Lavender: One of the pastel colors, the shade of lavender corresponds with the lavender fields of the Provence region.
Blue: The color blue in all its shades is associated with the Mediterranean Sea.
Flower colors: The colorfulness of the flowers will add splashes of color, contrast and interest, compared to the other neutral shades. This can be done by adding design accessories, floral prints or fresh or dried flower arrangements.
Use of natural materials
The Provence style incorporates the use of natural materials, which characterize the beauty of the French Provence region. The commonly used materials are:
Natural stone: such as marble, granite and limestone.
Terracotta tiles: which add warm tones to the space.
Unprocessed wood: in the form of exposed wooden beams or furniture.
Wrought iron: in the form of decorative items such as sculptures, candlesticks and lighting fixtures or massive elements such as wrought iron garden furniture and wrought iron gates and fences.
Natural fabrics: linen, cotton, raw leather and more.
Natural textures: rough and unprocessed textures.
Plaster: walls with a plaster finish with a rough texture and natural tones.
Floral elements: Fresh or dried flower arrangements or floral prints in curtains, tablecloths or chair or living room upholstery.
Natural flow: Provence style home design strives to create an open space throughout the home, conveying flow and harmony. This feeling can be achieved by freely arranging furniture, without defined corners or precise dimensions.
