This is how the Provence interior design style works! Our tips!
Home textiles
The choice of fabrics plays a central role in the decoration of Provençal homes. Tablecloths, curtains, bedspreads, throws, and cushions for sofas and armchairs add coziness and charm to the rooms. Colorful floral motifs and plain fabrics in light tones are very popular.

Furniture
Solid wood furniture, which can tell a story, combines impressively with modern and bright interior design. This type of furniture is often found at flea markets or antique shops. A robust and solid wooden table in the kitchen or dining room is a perfect place to sit and eat. Country-style dressers also find their place in the kitchen or dining room. The furniture is often painted in pastel shades such as beige or cream, or even from the country color palette. To achieve the popular shabby chic interior design style, the furniture is then sanded. The special Provençal touch is created by replacing the knobs and handles with ceramic or ornate metal.

Colors
Typical Provençal colors for walls, furniture, and decor are light colors like cream or beige, which allow as much light as possible into the room. This creates a calming atmosphere. These delicate colors lend the decor its distinctive charm. The color palette of the landscape, blue or olive tones, adds a certain cheerfulness. Colors like ochre, red, or yellow also conjure up a warm, Mediterranean flair.

Wrought iron
Wrought iron furniture and accessories are used both indoors and outdoors. Wrought iron garden tables, seating, garden gates, and smaller accessories add a charming, stylish touch and exude plenty of Mediterranean charm. Wrought iron also embodies robustness and durability.

accessories
The interior should look comfortable but not cluttered. Less is often more. Clay and ceramics, especially in the kitchen, can serve both a useful and decorative role. Walls are decorated with mirrors, straw hats, pottery, or carefully selected pictures. Herb pots with thyme, rosemary, basil, or oregano are a staple in every Provençal kitchen. To continue the cozy atmosphere after dark, candles are a must-have on tables and furniture.

Lavender bouquets / dried flower bouquets
The soul of Provence is the lavender scent of a lavender bouquet. It evokes images of its sun-drenched hills, its colorful markets, the scent of freshly picked flowers, and, of course, its unforgettable lavender fields. Therefore, it's undeniable that lavender bouquets and dried flower bouquets are a popular feature in Provençal decor. Whether in a metal or clay vase, as a wall decoration, or as dried flowers, they can be placed in any room.
