Provence style table
Choosing furniture for your home, you don’t always want to make it catchy and fanciful. With all the commitment of many people to high-tech topics, home space is still better designed in a more relaxed and friendly style. An excellent solution is Provencal style, but you need to be able to use it, select the appropriate furniture.
Features, colors and materials
Provence style headsets are able to give a feeling of coziness and comfort. Rural motifs of the Mediterranean coast will appeal to many. Natural colors, an abundance of flowers, the sun - all this is conveyed by decorative means as accurately as possible. All these nuances are present in the design of the tables in the Provençal key.
A characteristic feature here is the combination of natural materials with various processing techniques. She is both deliberately coarse, and extremely elegant. For the manufacture of furniture take:
- wood;
- rattan;
- forged metal parts;
- various combinations of these materials among themselves.
By painting the table and chairs can be as if burnt out under the sun and bleached by the sea winds. Designers recommend using furniture of the following colors in Provencal interior:
- ocher;
- Gray;
- beige and brown;
- cream;
- olive, white and some others.
The main thing - to comply with the strictly calm colors, harmoniously combining different shades.
Provencal furniture may not have expressive decorations, but when it creates a feeling of aged, it is quite consistent with this style. Yellow and light blue tones are quite suitable, they seem to carry you into the meadows and into the fields.
Species
Provencal tables on the veranda can have both massive and openwork, carved legs. Carving on the table top and top cover is also quite appropriate. Visibility of the carved elements will help to emphasize the feature of the style even more precisely. The lid can be oval, round, square or rectangular.
It is the latter form that is best used,because it most accurately expresses the spirit of this Provence (and it is difficult to name a more universal solution, suitable in a wide variety of interiors).
Consider that only equally weighty legs are combined with a wide, ponderous tabletop. The massiveness of the table is determined by what the chairs are. Brown worktop and gray (or white) legs look very good. White prejudices are unfounded, because you can choose its variant with the addition of beige, gray tonality.
Lunch groups made in coffee tones are very elegant and attractive. There is another way - to choose only the most natural furniture made from unpainted wood.
Which table to choose?
It makes sense to buy round wooden tables only in the case when your room is spacious enough and you can approach from any side.
Important: a round-shaped table may have a different color than the chairs - and this will not break the canons of style.
Oval models cannot be put into a corner, the ideal place for them is the most visible and well-lit part of the room.
Small tables with strong legs made of metal and coarse,the countertop can be added to the kitchen boards, verandas, or simply stands for flower pots. If you are going to arrange lush holidays with a large number of guests, placing them on the open terrace, an ordinary table on a metal frame with a wooden table top will also do.
Pure white color in this case is even undesirable, but the deliberate brutality, uneven edges will only play into your hands. To combine tables of this type preferably with benches, other wooden furniture.
Forged designs look elegant and light, but this impression is deceptive - in terms of stability and reliability they have no equal. So, such a table is useful not only for the open terrace, but even for the garden or arbor, no wind is not afraid of it. It is recommended to supplement the composition with wrought-iron chairs, and to use them comfortably, use soft pillows.
It does not matter whether black metal or painted in classic Provencal colors, it will be equally advantageous.
Rounded corners are optimal if there are small children in the house, because their safety cannot be excessive.But even in other cases, such an original decision turns out to be quite appropriate, six people can sit down at a small oval-looking table. Sliding options are optimal when there is not enough space, and the number of household or guests is very large.
Among foreign manufacturers, it is worth preferring Italian, French and Portuguese factories, which have been producing impeccable furniture for many decades. Be sure when ordering specify:
- what kind of wood you want to use;
- what should be the additional equipment;
- optimal color;
- sizes.
Decor
Provence is impossible to imagine without all sorts of small decorations and attributes, they help to give the furniture and the interior a whole feeling of completeness and fullness.
Napkins and tablecloths must be selected strictly from cotton or linen. The main color should be white, the maximum that is permissible from the ornaments, is a small strip of ornament along the edges.
Striped, checkered fabric harmoniously combines with monochromatic walls, as an option, you can use textiles with a small floral print. Hand embroidery looks good in almost any version.Putting out candles, and, in a candlestick made of natural material, you will only strengthen the positive impression.
