Furniture and accessories

When it comes to the bedroom, the center of the composition is usually the bed. It should be big, tall and comfortable. It can be perfectly complemented by a canopy or a canopy of light, light-colored fabrics. Unfortunately, this idea is not always possible to embody in modern standard apartments.

Best of all, if the bedding will be boiling white or a different shade, but monophonic. It is acceptable to use a floral print, but it should not be too much so that it does not ruffle in the eyes. You can use this pattern on pillows, bedspreads or upholstery other upholstered furniture.

The rest of the furniture should not distract attention from the bed. Near it must have bedside tables. This style faithfully follows the traditions of antiquity. If there is no need for additional storage space, you can refuse models with drawers. From this, the design will benefit.

Dressers, tables and cabinets should be elegant, on thin curved legs.Antique furniture or furniture with antique effect will suit this interior. Since such rooms are usually made for female persons or couples, a dressing table can be installed in the room.

In some cases, the rooms in the style of "Provence" put tables. They can be either round magazine with a couple of chairs around, behind which it is convenient to drink coffee in the morning, and written.

The first option looks very stylish just due to its low functionality.

When choosing a desk for the bedroom a la "Provence", it is important to ensure that it does not look too modern. Currently, furniture factories are trying to outdo each other, releasing increasingly bulky tables with a bunch of drawers and shelves. This option will not work. The downside here is that the workplace will be small and not everyone is happy with it.

A great option for city apartments is modular furniture.

This is a set of various lockers of standard sizes. The number of elements, on average, is about 30. They are produced by large manufacturers who cannot provide an individual approach to each client.

Due to this, such kits are inexpensive, and there is something to choose from a variety of options.The advantage of this design is that it is easy to assemble and rearrange it in order to create new unique compositions. It is easy to add new elements.

A good idea would be to use open and closed storage systems. In a closed area are things that are not intended for prying eyes. And for all to see, you can set up decor elements, books or other things that need quick access. In the Provencal interior, porcelain plates, figurines and painted vases with flowers will look good. It is worth choosing high-quality products with neutral motives and shades.

Cabinets or walls with lots of drawers fit perfectly into the interior. Rack cabinets and display cases are suitable for storing accessories. To make them even more stylish, you can decorate the inner surface, for example, paste it with wallpaper. It will look unusual and attract attention.

In addition, the interior in the style of "Provence" is not too much lace. It can serve as decoration bedspreads or curtains, tablecloths. Specialized stores sell stylish napkins made from this material.

The presence of pillows and bedspreads greatly affects the overall comfort in the room. The more textiles in the bedroom, the more at home she looks. In addition, designers recommend placing at least 4-5 pillows of different shapes and textures on the bed.

It is worth remembering that this style appeared in the French mansions of the XIX century. A fireplace at that time was in every home. If it is present in the room, it is a great advantage, even if it is artificial. Above it, you can place a mirror in a gilded frame, and place figurines or place a clock on the mantelpiece.

Since the mirrors visually add more light and air to the room, you should definitely use them in this interior. Spacious rooms will decorate the standing mirror.

The main thing is to refrain from creating a mirror coating on the ceiling. It is better to choose several small mirrors than one large one, otherwise the interior will become too modern.

Proper lighting is very important when designing any room. The Provence style does not like the light striking the eyes and too massive lights. It is better to arrange around the room several sources of ambient light, reminiscent of the light of candles.These can be small sconces, candelabra or table lamps with a fabric shade.

Many designers in order to create additional storage space and give a highlight to the interior, use such an unusual piece of furniture, like a chest. You can also use aged leather case.

Carpets are appropriate for use in this style. Let them be discreet colors and small sizes. A small bedside rug is what you need in this case.

Provence style inspires and reminds man of the beauty of nature that surrounds it. Therefore, paintings with landscape motifs will come in handy. It is worth paying attention to their color palette, it must be in harmony with other details of the room.

Wallpapers need to choose either calm pastel colors, or with a small floral ornament. It is permissible to use wood panels (if they look natural) in not too dark colors.

Often, wooden walls are deliberately casually plastered. Roughness only decorate this interior, so even the wallpaper can be selected with a complex texture.

Colors

The palette of colors used in this styleis very fashionable this year. Pale pink hues, as well as the pistachio shade of green, have acquired extraordinary relevance.

The main thing to remember that the "Provence" does not tolerate screaming and bright shades.

All applied colors are muted, as if burned out in the sun. Different varieties of sand and coffee flowers will warm the room, which is not superfluous in the Russian climate. Other acceptable colors: sky blue, light blue, lavender, olive, white.

To use the snow color in the interior is permissible both by itself and in order to balance the wallpaper with a print or other prominent furnishings.

This style is characterized by the use of vibrant and artificial colors. They can serve as an accessory and act as a print on the wallpaper. Tulips symbolize well-being. Lilac - tenderness and purity. Peony, symbolizing passion and loyalty, suitable for matrimonial bedrooms. Lilies are reminiscent of peace and chosenness.

Materials

Following the traditions of the rural house, decorating the interior in the style of "Provence" should choose natural materials.

A bed made of carved wood or with a forged insert is a key element of this interior. The frame, as a rule, in any case is made of an array.The rest of the furniture is made of natural wood. The colors must be natural, and the texture of the wood is clearly visible.

All furnishings must be fragile and graceful in order to create a feeling of airiness in the room. Therefore, you can add to the design and other elements of wrought-iron furniture. They cost a lot, as it is not so easy to make them. But any part made in such a technique will make the interior play with new colors. It must be said that modern technologies allow forging any piece of furniture: from a decorative cage to a shelf or table.

Sometimes frosted glass is used in doors or cabinets. Vases and plates made of glass or porcelain will also perfectly fit here.

The floor in these rooms as well as the furniture is made of wood, that is, parquet or laminate boards. For a hotter climate fit stone floors. Another possible option may be tile.

Natural wood is used for walls. There is a lot of room for fantasy: pseudo games, panels, screens. You can decorate a tree covering only one wall, and others plaster or glue the wallpaper.Looks beautifully painted in wood color in harmony with the rest of the room.

The ceiling is most often plastered in white. Alternatively, beams may be present there. But they should not attract too much attention, it is best to leave them unprocessed.

An important role in the design of the room is textiles. Such fabrics as tapestry, chintz are involved in both the design of furniture and the design of the walls.

How to make your own hands?

It is not necessary to resort to the help of a designer to decorate a room in this style. It is enough to know a few subtleties and have a good taste to design the interior yourself.

With classic elements

Classics in the interior is the use of time-tested techniques. This is a discreet style, which differs dim colors. The origins of the classics were antiquity, symmetry and proportionality of forms migrated from it to modern premises.

The outlines of objects, as a rule, are simple and geometric. Rooms in this style can be richly decorated with stucco, carving, used a lot of decorative elements, porcelain and gilding. This is due to the fact that initially the legislators of the classical style were rich. In modern homes, the situation is somewhat different.

But what remains the same is the use of natural materials, such as stone, marble, wood and ivory.

In addition, the distinctive feature of the interior in this style is space.

In the classics, neon and other flashy colors are unacceptable. This is a discreet style for respectable people who value, above all, their comfort.

Considering all of the above, you can safely combine elements of Provencal and Classic style in the same room.They have a lot in common.

A bed of a simplified classical model in combination with wallpaper with floral pattern will look more modern. You can arrange a symmetrically modular wardrobe, placing it above the bed. Simple geometric shapes and the presence of an axis around which the composition is built (in this case, a bed), are typical of the classics.

In order to achieve an organic fusion of these styles, it is worth refusing the pretentiousness and a large amount of jewelry, especially in a small area. You need to use expensive deep colors, such as lavender, olive, or turquoise.

These tips will help in creating the interior, which is located at the junction of the two styles.

The interior in the style of American classics has experienced the influence of the colonial style, European classics and the style of "country", that is, they all are extremely similar to each other.

The basic principles of building the interior are the same as in the classic interior: geometric shapes, symmetry, monochrome. However, it is much more modern.

Western mentality dictates to abandon ostentatious luxury, so stucco and gilding are not found here.Instead, a strict design and functionality, which is not superfluous to dilute the romantic Provence.

In the country

"Provence" is easy to implement in the design of a country house. Wood walls or brickwork can be casually plastered to preserve texture. Elegant furniture and feminine floral patterns will look especially impressive with such an environment.

It is possible to sustain the entire interior in a wooden house in the same style, finishing in the Provencal style, not only the bedroom. The above tips are relevant for other types of premises.

In addition, in a country house will often be easy to change fresh flowers to decorate the interior. The façade, decorated in the style of "Provence", looks particularly organic because of its maximum proximity to the estates of old France.

In combination with "country"

The style of "country" from the "Provence" is not easy to distinguish the non-professional. They really look like. As the name suggests, "country" also recreates the atmosphere of a village house, but without the French flavor.

This style also uses natural materials and requires a lot of space. However, the furniture is more coarse, made of wood.

The most common pattern for textiles is the cell, which combines white and some other color.

In the style of "country" it is permissible to use fur and weaving as a decor, but they are too coarse elements for "Provence."

Therefore, to combine these two styles, it is enough to add a little grace to the coarse “country” style with accessories.

The combination of light and coarse fabrics will give the bedroom comfort and practicality, as well as to make the interior less “sugary”.

With french window

The French window is a panoramic window from floor to ceiling. It can be sliding or folding. Its charm is in unity with nature, which perfectly matches the style of "Provence".

This window lets in much more light and air than usual. Light waving tulle in combination with this window will be an excellent choice.

For a teenager

Provence style is soft and tuneful in a calm way, so it is well suited for decorating a teenager's bedroom.

Because of the abundance of flowers and delicate patterns, this option is preferred by girls rather than boys. Romantic mood of the room, an abundance of pillows and ruff will appeal to many.

Forged furniture is quite unusual and is likely to appeal to those who dream of self-expression. Provence style offers a wide enough scope for fantasy on the theme of accessories and colors, which is an additional advantage.

Since such bedrooms are bright and spacious, they can serve not only as a place to sleep, but also as a teen's study, where it is easy and pleasant to do homework.
