Provencal style kitchen

How to design a kitchen in Provencal style? Can it be arranged in a small space? Answers to these and other questions about Provencal-style kitchens can be found below.

What is Provencal style?

The Provencal style in interior design originates from southeastern France. It is characterized by:

• Warm and cozy interiors, even though they are often kept in shades of white.
  
  
• White walls, often painted with textured paints. Florentine clays are also used.
  
  
• Classic wooden and wicker furniture.
  
  
• Decorative pots, plants, herbs, cushions, and wooden decorations are used for interior decoration.
  
  
• The rooms are dominated by fabrics, curtains, upholstered chairs, and tablecloths with floral motifs, including the lavender characteristic of Provence.
  

A Provencal-style kitchen should combine classic with functionality

A Provencal-style kitchen is known for combining classic and functionality. It is primarily kept in light colors and is spacious. Furniture is deep and spacious enough to easily accommodate all small kitchen appliances. They are made in a classic style, from wood, which adds coziness to the interior. In a Provencal kitchen, there is no room for excess; instead, there is elegance and chic, so characteristic of French Provence and its stone houses.

What are its characteristics?

Entering a Provencal kitchen gives the impression of being in a lavender-scented countryside. The room has plenty of space, exposed ceiling beams, and walls in shades of white. Kitchen cabinets are also kept in light colors. However, grays, beiges, and pastel shades of purple dominate. Their fronts are openwork, glazed, with wooden or veneered countertops. Floors usually feature real, distressed wood or terracotta.

A Provencal-style kitchen is usually connected to a dining area, where there is a large wooden table with chairs and wicker armchairs, which we offer in our Luxury Products store.

How to design a modern Provencal-style kitchen?

You can design a Provencal kitchen in both rustic and modern styles. Look for inspiration in our newsletter. If you are a fan of the latter option, it is best to choose colors like white and beige combined with gray for your interiors. Use textured paints for the walls to emphasize the elegance and chic of your Provencal-style kitchen. A wooden floor or one made of reddish terracotta will warm up the interior, giving it a cozy character.

Place pots with aromatic herbs on the kitchen windowsill. Don't be afraid to keep necessary kitchen appliances on the countertops. A coffee maker, food processor, knife stand, and elegant water jugs, which you can find in our store, will highlight the character of your kitchen.

Small Provencal kitchen - it can work

If you're wondering whether you can use the Provencal style to arrange a small kitchen, go ahead and do it. Light colors visually enlarge interiors. Therefore, don't hesitate to use different shades of white and beige. Arrange the kitchen in a U or L shape, choose distressed cabinet fronts to give it an aged look. The floor should be wooden or terracotta. Instead of a large kitchen table, find a small round table with chairs in our offer.

Provencal-style kitchen furniture

As we mentioned, Provencal-style furniture features colors like beige, gray, and light pastel purple. These colors often blend with each other and with white. It's hard to find bulky floor-to-ceiling constructions here. Each cabinet is separate. Many of them feature floral and fruit motifs. Examples include wooden, tall, and low sideboards by Interiors Italia. It's also worth noting that rustic Provencal furniture has elegant embellishments, such as wooden ruffles on sideboards and exclusive brass knobs or handles.

Try to choose furniture that allows you to display exclusive and decorated coffee or tea cups, plates, sugar bowls, and other luxury kitchen accessories that we offer you.

Kitchen Island in Provencal Style

The Provencal style, much like the English style, favors having an island in the kitchen. This is a rather practical element of the room, as it has many uses. Firstly, it provides additional storage space, and secondly, it serves as an extra worktop. It can also confidently replace a table in small spaces and separate the kitchen from the living room in an open space. Exclusive Provencal-style kitchen islands are offered by brands like Tiferno Mobili. In a small kitchen, its function can also be fulfilled by one of the Provencal bar counters with shelves and drawers, a wooden bar for the living room, or a low sideboard with a veneered top, offered by the Italian manufacturer Zanini.

Where to Buy Provencal Kitchen Furnishings?

You can purchase Provencal-style furniture for your kitchen, living room, or bedroom in our online store, Luxury Products. We represent the aforementioned brands Zanini, Tiferno Mobili, Interiors Italia, as well as other European manufacturers guaranteeing high-quality products. By arranging your Provencal kitchen with us, you can be sure that all furniture and other accessories will be made from natural materials, as is customary in southeastern France.
