The word “Provence” sounds mysterious and unusual in our language, but in translation it means “province”. These lands, located in the south of France, are located near the Italian border. For most of the year they are flooded with the sun, but the proximity of the sea and mountains brings a pleasant freshness here. They are rich in vineyards, blooming valleys, and are a paradise for tourists. In winter, there is no snow here, and evergreen plants turn Provence into an eternal garden. This already means that in furniture in this style cannot look pompous and majestic. Home comfort, uncomplicity, lack of pretentiousness and simplicity reigns here. Therefore, the chairs for the kitchen in the Provence style are completely different from those that are created in the Empire or Baroque style.
What do Provence chairs look like?
Material for furniture is taken only natural, no cheap plastic is allowed. Most often there are wooden chairs of Provence, decorated with carvings and curly backs. The legs almost always have a curved intricate shape. Original forged forged elements are often allowed to decorate furniture, which also looks very beautiful. In the French rustic style, linen covers are used, the upholstery is usually not particularly bright and with predominantly calm plant patterns. It is also characteristic of the Provence when the furniture has an aged look, so even a white stool in the Provence style can have a slight scuffle on wooden elements.
The barn in the style of Provence also meets the same criteria. It should also be elegant and as comfortable as possible. There are no excesses or brilliant fashion novelties. There is, of course, ultra-modern chrome furniture, which is called Provence, but visually it is more suitable for high-tech or modern. A real French rural style prefers calm colors and albeit simple, but elegant design.
