An interior that creates a rustic atmosphere is the best fit for a country house. After all, the surrounding nature, a measured calm lifestyle require appropriate decorations. The interiors of Provence-style country houses are not a copy of French village life, but an attempt to create a special flavor: light, warm, sunny, very fragrant and homely, which personifies the south of France. The layout of a country house, its arrangement suggest the presence of an open or closed veranda entwined with ivy and grapes, glass doors opening access to a flowering garden, a fireplace, which is so cozy to spend evenings. Unlike a city apartment, where functionality and practicality predominate, natural materials play an important role in the decoration of a country house: stone, wood, plaster. They fit very harmoniously into the overall color.
The interiors of country houses in the Provence style are perfectly complemented by ceramic terracotta pots with blooming geraniums placed on the stepsstairs and on the open terrace, bunches of dried fragrant herbs hanging from the ceiling of the veranda, wicker openwork furniture on the lawn, benches with wrought iron legs.
As already noted, Provence-style interior decoration uses natural materials. The floor is covered with wooden boards or ceramic matte tiles, in natural natural tones. For wall decoration, light paper wallpapers with small bouquets of flowers are used, and white decorative plaster is used, which creates an uneven, rough surface. The interiors of country houses in the Provence style are decorated with wooden ceiling beams, so harmonious and understandable in such an atmosphere, which are often specially emphasized with a contrasting dark color, highlighting against the white ceiling. Bright contrasts in these interiors are not welcome, the color palette of the furnishings is chosen, as a rule, in creamy, light yellow, light blue colors - they are considered classic for this style. However, it is reasonable to emphasize the beautiful structure of the tree, for example on the floor, with a darker color.
As for furniture and other interior items, preference is also given to natural wood, ceramics and forged metal. A little rough, deliberately rustic furniture is decorated with painting, simple and uncomplicated, very attractive and cute, or decoupage. Furniture is often painted in white, light blue or light pistachio colors, or the texture of light wood is left, while using various aging techniques - artificialabrasions, crevices, wormholes, half-worn gilding, craquelure cracks.
Living plants in pots with lush flower hats, bouquets of field herbs on the table fit very harmoniously into the interiors of country houses in the Provence style. Windows are decorated with colorful cotton fabrics, tables - with thin linen tablecloths with lace and embroidery. Small handmade interior items, baskets filled with dried flowers, caskets are placed on open wooden shelves.
The interior styles of a country house, like a city apartment, no doubt, must meet the needs of the owners. It is impossible to feel comfortable in a strange environment. This is especially true of a place designed for rest and relaxation. The interior design of a country house (photos presented) in this style is quite versatile and, like no other, corresponds to the unhurried course of village life, giving you the opportunity to completely relax from the bustle of the city.
