A pleasant family atmosphere and a lot of opportunities for creating original design ideas made the design of the apartment in the style of Provence popular and popular. But here the general concept can be completely different, as in the two examples below.

This is a classic apartment in the style of Provence. Photos of the bedroom, living room, children's room, hallway from floor to ceiling are made in a traditional palette: white, beige, blue and gray dominate. The girl's boudoir is slightly different. He is closer to the traditional English country countryside with the preservation of the common style of Provence.

In both projects, to redistribute the space reserved for the working area of ​​the kitchen and the living room, creating a sensation of the seaside cottage, the plan was re-planned and merged into one single room. To increase the total area in this option, a loggia is added in both the dining room and the parent room. Due to this, as well as the dominant white color, a small-sized apartment in the Provence style seems more spacious.

In all rooms the floor has a natural texture and the color of light wood is a characteristic detail for the south of France. The space of the small adult bedroom and the attached loggia-cabinet is visually enlarged due to the diagonal arrangement of the parquet boards. Natural wooden panels and beams from bleached oak create the necessary styling, both in the dining area and in the parent room. An interesting detail: from the same material, but not painted, the head of the bed is made. It contrasts with the rest of the wooden factory furniture of the room and forged metal shelves, creating an emphatically man-made and simple accent in the interior.

The visual division into functional areas in this project is achieved due to various lighting sources in each zone and stylized ceramic tiles with ornamentation in the kitchen and in the bathroom.

Furniture is made for the most part in a classic style. A lot of cute items are used as showcases, open shelves, couches, decorated boxes, girlish chest of drawers, small elegant tables and kitchen chairs. An armchair and a sofa in the living room, workplace, children's room are also executed in a simple and traditional style, covered with sound natural fabrics.

Generally correctly selected textiles and creates an apartment design in the style of Provence. Home-made tablecloths, homemade lace shades, heavy linen curtains and collecting Roman curtains from a coarse linen in the nursery. Fit and grandmother's napkins and embroidered panels.

Harmoniously combines ancient floor lamps, sconces and chandeliers, reminiscent of candles, with simple modern spotlights. A must-have addition is paintings with a retro storyline in frames, wooden blinds, wicker baskets and wildflowers.

Mediterranean interior in a modern interpretation. Apartment in the style of Provence

The interior of the second house is completely different from the first project and the photos of the apartment in the style of Provence are a vivid example of today's interpretation of this direction. Here, although traditional tones are used, they are bright, deep and saturated: a powerful wooden plank of the color of wood, the same shade furniture in the hallway and bedroom, as well as dark brown solid curtains and a sofa in the living room of a modern shape. There is no traditional lightness and airiness of the interior. Due to this, the functionality of the room wins. It remains the same sense of laconicism, confusion of different eras and lack of rural simplicity.

The small kitchen area is delimited by a chess floor tile and with the help of finishing under the whitewashed brick is combined with the dining area. The modern set of deep gray color with simple strict facades, a display case and a tabletop of dark stone, is located at an angle. An unusual solution for such small spaces is the island working area. The general declared concept is that the apartment in the Provence style is maintained in the kitchen with white linen curtains with selection. But the dining area is entirely in the Mediterranean spirit - classic white chairs and a table, a traditional sideboard.

The bedroom has some details of this style: a beautiful handmade mirror, a candle white chandelier, a restored antique couch and traditional pictures. But the decoration of the walls and ceiling with molding, the color and design of the furniture is more in keeping with the restrained English classics. An unusual color accent is a bright floor carpet with Afro-Asian motifs.

The original combinations in which this apartment is made in the style of Provence, the most amusing are played in the nursery. The furniture is of the right shape and color: beige with blue trim library shelves, showcases, wooden open shelves and a built-in couch combined with a heavy-weight bottle-green armchair and padded stool. The wall with a checkered pattern of pastel colors corresponds to all canons of style and makes the interior more interesting. Bright accents - sconces and chandelier, although with the same traditional ornament of unusual colors - red, green and blue. These combinations make the room daring, colorful and slightly ironic.
