In the Provence region, leisurely conversations are held by villagers, artisans and merchants. And their homes are full of comfort. Once having fallen in love with Provence, I decided never to part with it. And what came out of it I did today and I want to tell you.
Bathroom decoration
The theater, as is known, begins with a hanger, and any style begins with the interior decoration of the room. Finish bathroom Provence style rooms set the tone for the further interior. Everyone will cope with this task.
It does not require trendy and modern materials. The motto of Provence is convenience, beauty, simplicity and ecological purity.
In order to try on the bathroom a proactive image you will need to start everything from scratch. Alter the old interior under the style of Provence is beyond the power of any professional. Let's mentally imagine a dream bathroom. What do you think it should be?

Today, it is becoming more and more important to place environmentally clean flooring on the bathroom floor. ceramic tile. There are several reasons for this - it is not difficult to care for, it is aesthetic and its choice is diverse.
In Provence style, floor tiles can be plain or have natural motifs, floral prints, and bold ornaments.
The floor mosaic or tile laid out in the center of the room imitating carpet.
A bolder, but traditional solution - this is on the bargain floor in the bathroom, put a plank of wood with a pronounced structure, and then toned it with varnish or treat it with a special paste.
Structureless (cheaper) wood can be coated with moisture-resistant enamel of any light or brown color.
In addition to tiles and wood on the floor of the bathroom, you can put natural stone or cork. Both options feel good in the style of Provence.
return to menu ↑Ceiling
In the Provence style every detail is important, to the smallest detail. The ceiling space in it is decorated with wooden beams or their high-quality imitation (beam shawl). White wood is undoubtedly the ideal style. ceilings and brown beams.
No beams? You can without them. Material for finishing the ceiling of the bathroom may be different. I must say that the "old Provence" categorically denied the ceilings made of artificial materials.
Time dictates new rules and in today's style Provence in the bathroom, you can see both stretch ceilings and ceilings made from drywall.
If allows layoutthen it is appropriate to construct the stained glass on the ceiling. window. Thus, a piece of the real sky will settle in the room right above your head.
return to menu ↑Walls
For the decoration of the walls of the bathroom in the style of Provence is used wood or ceramics. They can be well combined, complementing each other with their texture. Absolutely unexpected on the walls of the bathroom look moisture-proof vinyl wallpaper with a floral theme.
Entrance door
Bathroom starts from the entrance the doors. It is she who reveals to us the lucrative miracle that lies behind her. Such a door is made of solid wood, it can be supplemented with cracks, scuffs and roughness typical of Provence.
Windows and lighting
According to all the canons of the provance style, the bathroom should be filled with light. If the layout allows you to have a window in it, then this is real luck. Natural lighting allows you to fill the room with the natural sun, which can not be replaced by any fashionable lamp. In addition, the window is an excellent method of ventilation.
Unfortunately, in the city apartments in the bathrooms the windows project is not provided and by this they lose out of town houses. In this case, you will need to create in the bathroom the most bright and comfortable lighting with the help of the ceiling chandelier and wall fixtures.
Chandeliers and bras in provence should continue his inimitable style. The multi-track large chandeliers with candles or beautiful lampshades.
In a pinch, you can use a spotlight ceiling. However, I believe that it violates the harmony of style and complements its modernity, which is far from the rural way of life.
return to menu ↑Provence Palette
Provencal bathroom should be as saturated as possible, which means white color should be chosen in it predominant.
White can be cold snowy or have warm shades of milk, pearl, opal, moon, coconut. The main thing is to be matte.
A good company of white color will be:
- all shades of lavender;
- cool sky color;
- ashen pink;
- color of melted milk and butter;
- herbaceous, mint;
- olive and pistachio;
- pale green;
- faded turquoise and malachite;
- sky blue;
- crimson;
- wood brown;
- sandy and all beige tones.
- Be careful with cold gray in tones.
- Do not glut the room brown and purple color.
- The black color in Provence style is strictly prohibited.
- Red, Orange, yellow should have muted tones. They play a minor role of interior parts.
- All colors used in the design of the room should leave a feeling that they are burned out in sunlight.
Furniture
The characteristic features of Provence-styled bathroom furniture are its “batteredness” and pleasant, rounded and curved outlines. It seems as if the time of past centuries has stopped on it.
You approach the furniture in the bathroom creatively, because the Provence style is like a good fairy tale that came from our childhood. He with joy will take in his arms such forgotten interior items as:
- bookcase;
- chest of drawers;
- console;
- chest for storing bath accessories.
The Provence bathroom comfortably accommodates wicker chairs and rare lockers for storing bath accessories.

The first violin of the bathroom ensemble is undoubtedly the sink. This is a miracle of miracles, it is worthy of our admiration. Twisted and carved, worn and aged, but always vintage. Provence bollard under the sink attracts the views of its historical beauty.
She is echoed by a functional case for storing items of hygienic care. The style should be identical to the cabinet. The bathroom case is made high and narrow, and sometimes it is replaced with a typical a * la Provence style chest of drawers.
All this is complemented by mounted shelves, to store numerous decor and accessories.
The presence of furniture chips, scratches, abrasions and cracks for someone seems out of place. However, for the bathroom, Provence - this is the first sign of style and brings us the history of antiquity.

Manufacturers achieve the desired effect with the help of artificial aging of wood. The presence of lightweight cobwebs is welcomed on the furniture; it can be of bronze, brass or copper color.
Natural furniture in the style of Provence is not cheap and not everyone can buy it. I found a way out of the situation with the help of the old "grandmother" furniture removed from the attic. She seemed to be waiting for her finest hour and wonderfully fit into my design idea.
If you wish, you can install a washbasin in the old chest of drawers, and use a restored cupboard instead of a vintage cabinet for storing towels and other stand-alone items.

But the main focus in the room is of course placed on the bathroom itself. It has a high, fancy and oval shape. Mandatory element in it are intricate, curly, forged legs. To take water treatments in such a “beauty” is a real relaxation.

Provence without colors not provence. Flowers should be everywhere. In the bathroom, flowers can be live or dried, but in no case are they artificial. Preference is given to the Queen Lavender - the business card of the province of Provence.
Plants in pots and in pots can also become inhabitants of such a cozy bathroom. Here grow unpretentious, moisture-loving and shade-loving tropical plants. The important point - the capacity for their cultivation should be made of wood, clay or porcelain and no hint of plastic.
