Beautiful, pleasant, and romantic—that\’s the Provence style. The Provence style is becoming an increasingly popular specific style of living, preferred by some Czechs. French-style living is characterized by certain elements that must be respected.

Elements of French style

In order to choose the right style, it is necessary to follow these guidelines. The main element that predominates in the French style is wood, especially light wood. Wood can be used on the floor, ceiling, or walls. Stone is also widely used, for example to decorate the walls in the living room.
Of course, furniture must also be included. White furniture predominates here. Older, chipped furniture can be used. You can also create chipped furniture at home using a special patina.
Pastel colors predominate here, especially purple. Remember that it is not advisable to combine multiple colors. Another distinctive feature of this romantic style is the large number of pillows, decorated with lace or lavender patterns, for example. The scent of lavender
is also a must. You can put it in a vase practically anywhere. Large vases with bouquets of flowers are suitable for this style. The more flowers, the better. You can also complement the style with various baskets and other accessories. Small jars with floral patterns are also great. Candlesticks and lanterns are also suitable accessories in the French style.

Where to look

Many people live in the Provence or French style. So don\’t hesitate to get inspiration from your friends or the internet. There are quite a few online stores with romantic accessories. It\’s also a good idea to visit flea markets, because you can find interesting pieces there that fit this style.
Always remember that it is best to combine everything into one style. The right combination of colors and materials is really important. Generally speaking, sometimes less is more. French-style living should be like living in the countryside.
