Our tips: How to design the interior in Provence and rural style

Do you like the interior in the French country style, which is full of lavender, a combination of white and violet colors and exudes calm and cosiness? In this case, this article is made for you. We look at the basic elements of this style and of course we do not bring you tips for specific products from our range.

How did the Provence style come about and where does it come from?

Understanding this style will help you understand its origins and origins. When you say Provence, you first think of lavender, France or Provence spice, and with no consideration you are not wrong. Provence is a landscape in the south of France known for lavender fields, excellent wine and spices. A well-known city in this area is e.g. B. Marseille, which is definitely worth a visit.

During this time, beautiful lavender fields begin to bloom in Provence, the smell and beauty of which attract tourists from all over the world and it lasts until August. Travel is somewhat limited this year, but you can easily design the lavender paradise at home. Locals make a range of interesting products from lavender, such as B. oils, soaps, teas or bath mixes.

Local culture is also reflected in the way people set up living. The Provence style began to form around 1800, at that time it was different from the modern urban trends that Paris had indicated. The main idea was calm, cosiness, airiness and closeness to nature.

What shouldn't be missing in the interior in the French country style?

The Provence style can appear in all elements of the household - from the floors and furniture to painting the walls to the home accessories. It is up to you which interior changes you intend to make. Someone wants complete rural furnishings, the other seeks the compromise and brings the touch of this maritime area home with them in the form of unobtrusive decorations with which to liven up the existing furnishings. Provence fits into the kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom. It applies both in older houses and in modern apartments.
