Features style
The interior in the spirit of Provence is perfect for a small apartment. There, the abundance of light tones helps to visually expand the room. Purpose motives for this style will be:
- natural atmosphere;
- cosiness;
- visual heat;
- sunny days.
Only when all this is embodied, you can talk about the perfect performance of stylistic canons. Olive approach implies a mandatory refusal of some components:
- modern samples of furniture;
- Golden and silver elements;
- Parts made of stainless steel.
Entering the Provence style room, people discover that everything around them is some old and used for a long time. This design is best revealed when not only the kitchen is appropriately decorated, but also the rest of the rooms. To better imagine the situation in this style, you need to consider that it focuses on the old village interiors.
The desired color implies always the use of outflowed tones.
But before getting to get acquainted with the descriptions of specific projects, you need to figure out than Provence differs from the classics. The classic setting uses solutions designed to show greatness and make the room pompous. In our olive style, any visual overload and interaction of space is categorically unacceptable. It is less attracted and will arrange those who seek to simply create a decent, beautifully looking and cozy space. The difference is expressed in the cost of a particular interior - a classic, unlike Provence, can afford not all.
Color spectrum
Traditionally, Provence is associated with white. But not necessarily use it in its pure form. Very good combination form white and blue tone. Selecting a specific colors, you need to clearly understand what effect should be achieved. In some cases, the creation of harsh contrasts between white and blue (Up to saturated blue) paints.
However, the same Excessive contrast of atypic for olive atmosphere . But barely notable manipulations of the halftones turn out to be much more appropriate and more correct. In another embodiment, connect blue and sand paint. This approach seems to reproduce the coast of the French Riviera.
Judging by the reviews, it turns out an incredibly cozy atmosphere.
A nice alternative can become a mint color, the introduction of it in the situation immediately refreshes the space and makes it a little more. At the same time, comfort is provided at the same time. With a shortage of light, the room in mint tones retains its attraction However, the excessive concentration of this color can lead to loss of aesthetic advantages. For dilution of mint tones, bright wood species can be used. Even if it is only small accessories, the result will be pleasant.
As for turquoise tones, they are considered ideal for Provence's stylistics. Designers associate turquoise with sparkling in the sunshine by the sea. This color is very diverse, as the ocean element itself. Optionally, it can express both soft and calm and dynamic mood. Turquoise color is advised to use in a bundle with warmer tones.
Not less popular among professionals has a gray tone. There is no reason to consider it faceless and inexpressive, as many people believe. It is the gray color that leads in a variety of shades, because of what is appreciated by painters.
But it is necessary to understand that in its pure form, gray paints are almost not used, they are usually mixed with other shades.
If the white and light gray base seems inappropriate, you can boldly repel from beige tones. But in order to embody the ideas characteristic of Provence, it is required to add natural colors:
- yellow;
- blue;
- Gentle green shade.
Contrast colors are good selection. With a beige or gray base, dark varieties of wood and a similar decoration of lampshades, chairs are perfectly combined. Little Olive Kitchens are trying to issue as long as possible. Sometimes the colors that are separated by separable parts of the furniture can be repeated in other interior items. White and turquoise paints advise to combine with large brown details.
At the end of the second decade of the XXI century, the use of pistachio color becomes a trendy trend. It helps to make the room fresh and more interesting. But whatever the specific color gamut, elegant furniture, and competently selected accessories play a very important role. The overall color concept is selected in such a way that the idea of the simplicity and reliability of the composition is created.
And yes, whatever color is either used, it should be formed using paints resistant to kitchen conditions and finishing materials.
As for the modern interpretations of Provence, coloring can be used in them:
- Ivori;
- snow-white;
- Ivory.
Finishing options
Walls
Adults and children will be actively used in the kitchen. Therefore, it is necessary to separate the walls so that they do not suffer from careless circulation. In the work areas use ceramic inserts. They are separated from the flooring with a technological seam, which helps to eliminate the harmful effects of thermal expansion. In some cases, the walls are completely covered with tiles. True, it will have to work with it a largest, and in some cases it makes sense to invite masters.
IMPORTANT: Whatever materials are used, it is impossible to shy away from the general canons of Provence and allow the mismatch of different elements.
Instead of tiles are often used:
- natural stone;
- synthetic stone;
- Facing brick.
Sometimes pictures are placed on the walls. Very winning move with them - the creation of "windows" and "doors". If this option does not like, you can think about the schemes with artistic painting or use artificially cracking plaster.
Modern technologies allow you to imitate any crabellers, without lowering the strength of the decorative material.
The main hot zone still in most apartments is drawn up with the help of ceramic tiles. It has such advantages as:
- preservation of integrity and external attractiveness after multiple cleaning;
- the impossibility of absorbing fat and saturation smells;
- absolute resistance to high temperature;
- The excellent resistance of high humidity.
For kitchen aprons therefore, the tile is the perfect choice. In order not to spend too many tools, it is advisable to limit the pair of tile rows. Over it is placed on decorative plaster. But at the same time it must be remembered that the metal and wood, varnish and glass should be combined in the interior.
There are special series of kitchens that use heterogeneous ceramics supplemented with embossed details. These types of tiles can not be the main indoors. However, they are extremely well suited as edging and screen inserts. Ceramics is used for lining furniture. This solution allows you to disguise the discovering angles that cannot be removed by safety standards.
If the walls are plastered in olive cuisine, at least partially, it is necessary to apply the material that the surface is visually uneven - it corresponds to the style canons. A brick translucent through the plaster is very welcomed. In a more advanced approach to Provence in the kitchen, the use of textured plaster is practiced. But you can do and otherwise, sheathing the walls with boards under painting.
This solution is no worse than tile or various types of stone.
Floor
Most often, the floor in the kitchen is covered with ceramic tiles. It is only necessary to take into account that it must correspond on the tone of the main shade. To the floor is not too cold, the heating systems mounted in the screed. Tile should be selected only with non-slip facial coating. Regardless of whether the kitchen is made with a bar with or without it, the floors of the wooden board are popular.
But if consumers still give preference to ceramic tiles, it usually has bevelled corners. Such blocks are distinguished by terracotta or light brown coloring. Returning to the wooden floors, it should be indicated that the surface of them can sometimes look like that, as if no processing was. Of course, in fact, the boards are thoroughly treated to eliminate the slightest appearance of the offplace and burrs. In olive interiors are completely unacceptable:
- parquet;
- laminate;
- carpets of all types;
- Linoleum any brand.
Ceiling
When designing ceilings in olive kitchens, massive wooden beams are often used. Important: This element has only decorative value and cannot be used as a supporting structure. Be sure to remember that the beams use only indoors with high ceilings. If you plan to embed point lamps, a two-level ceiling from GLC becomes an excellent choice.
Wooden ceiling structures are usually colored with light paints.
If the ceilings in olive cuisine are made of wood, then preference should be given to untreated surfaces. The smaller, they must save the natural pattern of texture. But there are still olive structures of the attached type. They are mounted much faster than shuffling. Yes, and the installation of plasterboard sheets passes longer.
In new buildings, staining is not too good. For several months, the ceiling cracks and will soon require alterations. The tensioned structures are perfectly smoothed even very large irregularities with which other solutions do not cope. What is important, at the same time the appearance of dirt and dust almost excludes. In the aesthetic plan, much depends on the correct choice of the web.
Designers recommend taking the ceilings with a matte chip in olive kitchen. Color You can choose white or any other light, which is just suitable in a specific interior. The choice between a smooth or covered with embossed film is determined only by its own taste. Glossy or very bright matter categorically not fit.
To eliminate the appearance of a characteristic unpleasant odor, advised to prefer solutions from polyester tissues.
Apron
The decoration of this kitchen plot is no less important than the design of other surfaces of the walls. It depends on the completion of the image of the room. The choice of options for olive apron is very large. Wall panels are often used. This material is different:
- installation speed;
- multifunctional;
- excellent noise insulation;
- hygienicness;
- ease of cleaning and care;
- low cost (when buying and during installation).
Cancelled quality have PVC panels. The elegant appearance of such panels makes them an excellent choice for the kitchen. The products are completely adjacent to the walls, it is almost impossible to notice the joints between the blocks. Some manufacturers produce a wall sheet in the format of lining with a width of 0.1 m and a length of up to 3 m. There are also aprons from soft varieties of plastics, externally resembling a mosaic.
However, the use of PVC in kitchen aprons is strongly limited to low thermal resistance of this material. It is also not too durable. Another polyvinyl chloride is inclined to burn out under the action of sunlight. A more attractive and stable alternative - MDF. This material:
- color;
- laminate;
- Covered veneer.
But over the slab it is impossible to place MDF. In addition, even the best samples of such panels do not look too natural. Therefore, the overwhelming majority of designers and ordinary customers prefer not to bind to panels of any kind, but use ceramic tiles in the spirit of patchwork. The difference can concern shape, ornament, types of patterns and paintings. However, with all the difference in tiles, they must be harmoniously combined with each other.
Important: if the diagram of the patchwork is selected, the kitchen is generally made up as neutralized. This will avoid cluttering the room with heterogeneous paints. A good alternative to Patchwork is aged tile (Rustic). It looks as vintage as much as possible and adds a feeling of antiquity into space. The underlined rudeness of such tiles fully corresponds to the main canons of Provence.
Some people believe that it is best to design apron with a panel. They are covered with mosaic, samples manually or decorated by photo printing. Mosaic structures make the following materials:
- glass;
- porcelain stoneware;
- plastics;
- conventional granite;
- metal elements.
Details of mosaic tiles can have the most intricate face. At the same time, they are most often small, the party is 0.02-0.05 m. In the trading network, the mosaic is selling most often not by tessers, but according to a matrix basis. The size of the matrix is approximately 0.3 x 0.3 m. To observe the canons of the style of Provence, you need to use drawings of the appropriate subject:
- Rustic images;
- Mediterranean landscapes;
- wildflowers.
Important: photo printing is much cheaper than painting with manual way. It should be used with a limited general budget.
Very high price will have to pay for the aprons from natural stone. His advantage - long service life and contamination resistance. Cheaper artificial material can be easily clogged.
Choice of furniture
Having understood with the materials of the main surfaces of the kitchen, you need to go to the consideration of furniture suitable for the style of Provence. All furniture, including a kitchen set and chairs, should be made strictly from natural wood. Only with a limited budget can be used designs from chipboard or MDF. But it is necessary to understand that any sophisticated person will immediately understand - this is not a real olive atmosphere. The headsets can be painted in the following colors:
- blue;
- White;
- pistachio;
- sand;
- blue.
In most cases, olive cabinets are equipped with open shelves. Close the doors only occasionally. The kitchen in the spirit of Provence is preferably equipped with upper wardrobes, because it focuses the rustic origin of the interior. To accommodate modern household appliances, as well as other non-canon objects, use closed cabinets. Tables and chairs must be made of natural wood, but the use of forged parts and curly legs remains at the discretion of customers.
Designers believe that olive direction is ideally expressed in a massive dining table. Then he plays the role of dominant and put in the center. Round tables are recommended to surround with elegant chairs. The rectangular table is furnished with benches or shops. Soft furniture in olive cuisine is selected with an unobtrusive color and the same drawings.
Organization of lighting
The issue with lighting in the kitchen of style Provence is affected by unreasonably rarely compared to furniture, colors and materials used. Meanwhile, it was the lamps of the corresponding species perfectly express the south of France. There are options with imitation of grape vines or ivy by openwork forging. Lighting devices with glass and platphones are also used.
In this case, painting with floral motifs are used.
China and wood apply for decorating lamps. We certainly distinguish the central zone. It contains a large chandelier containing a lot of light bulbs. But it is impossible to forget about the auxiliary low-power lamps with a scattered spectrum. To illuminate remote places use:
- suspended and table lamps;
- shed;
- Floors.
Textiles and decor elements
The most common Oboven room will look aesthetic if it decorates to decorate with textiles accessories. Very much depends on the right choice of fabrics. Popular as among lovers and professional designers, use:
- tablecloths;
- napkins;
- Curtains.
Registration of the olive room textiles always implies the use of soft cold tones. Matters themselves should be easy and weightless. It is recommended to use embroidery and floral patterns. But the use of ribbons, rushes and embroidery Richelieu remains at the discretion of apartment owners.
You can make a sofa, chairs with decorative pillows.
To create a completed image, they advise to put a patterned tablecloth on the table. It is also necessary to take into account the nuances of the use of indoor colors in the olive interior. It can be used almost unlimited. Plants with beautiful blossoms are best suitable. The choice between exotic and ordinary cultures for our latitudes falls on the owners themselves.
The undisputed leader is Pelargonium (better known as geranium). Very good results are also given:
- SENPOLIA;
- balsam;
- primrose;
- fuchsia;
- begonia;
- azalea;
- cyclamen;
- Hoya;
- Ficus;
- Sansevieria.
The design characteristic of Provence is the decoration of open shelves of clay dishes. An additional advantage in this case will be the use of ivy.
It is worth emphasizing attention and on such subtleties as paintings and posters in the style of Provence. Pick painting depicting olive branches, flowers in vases and pots. Be sure to consider the size of paintings. A huge cloth on the walls in a small room will look frankly ugly. Similarly, you should not use modest images on a large wall.
Very good plot for olive cuisine is Lavender. It is also shown in the form of laconic still lifes, and in the form of spacious meadow and field landscapes. Other suitable plots will be:
- roses;
- Green meadows;
- grape;
- culinary process and products;
- Agricultural animals.
Interesting ideas
The original step at the design of the kitchen in the style of Provence is the mixing of this style with the loft elements. The ceilings and part of the walls are trying to paint in various shades of white. At the same time, the best demonstration of the industrial style is brickwork. To bind two heterogeneous parts of space, it is recommended to manipulate white.
Both stylistic trends allow you to use a deck board either laminate with woody appearance.
The windows in the spirit of Provence are usually made high, on the floor to the ceiling. But you can do and otherwise, making the crate of a conventional glass unit imitating a natural tree. The windows are often decorated with wicker vine and decorative balls.
The furniture will look nicer if she has a loss surface and minor, well thought out flaws. A good complement to the South-French interior will be an extraordinary mixer.
The original accessory is curtains with a vegetable pattern. You can also consider additional items:
- Luminaires with a tissue lampshade on an openwork metallic suspension;
- Refusal of cabinets in favor of shelves and suspended fasteners;
- Kitchen island with storage and washing system.
Successful examples
The first of the good samples, which deserves attention, is shown in the photo below. Two walls are shown, in the design of which there are quite a lot of light colors. Stylish black and dark elements are used as accents.
In this picture, it is clearly visible as elegant combination of chess sex, a wicker chair and light furniture. Symmetric pendant lamps look very pretty.
