Provence style table
When choosing furniture for your home, you don't always want to make it flashy and pretentious. With all the commitment of many people to high-tech topics, it is still better to design the home space in a more relaxed and welcoming style. An excellent solution is the Provencal style, but you need to be able to use it, select the right furniture.
Features, colors and materials
Provence style headsets are able to give a feeling of coziness and comfort. Rural motives of the Mediterranean coast will appeal to many. Natural tones, 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 tables in the Provencal style.
The characteristic feature here is the combination of natural materials with various processing methods. She can be both deliberately rude and extremely elegant. For the manufacture of furniture they take:
- wood;
- rattan;
- forged metal parts;
- various combinations of these materials with each other.
In color, 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 the Provencal interior:
- ocher;
- Gray;
- beige and brown;
- cream;
- olive, white and some others.
The main thing is to observe strictly calm colors, harmoniously combining different shades.
Provencal furniture may not have expressive decorations, but when it creates a feeling of aged, this is quite consistent with this style. Yellow and light blue tones are fine, they seem to transport you to meadows and fields.
Varieties
Provencal tables on the veranda can have both massive and delicate, carved legs. The carving on the tabletop and top lid is also quite appropriate. The visible aging of the carved elements will help to emphasize even more precisely the peculiarity of the style. The lid is oval, round, square or rectangular.
It is the last form that is best used, because it most accurately expresses the spirit of true Provence (and it is difficult to name a more universal solution suitable for a wide variety of interiors).
Keep in mind that only legs that look equally weighty are compatible with a wide, heavy countertop. The massiveness of the table is determined by what the chairs are. A brown countertop and gray (or white) legs look pretty good. Prejudices about white are unfounded, because you can choose its version with the addition of beige, gray tones.
The coffee-colored dining groups are very sophisticated and inviting. There is another way - to choose only the most natural furniture made of unpainted wood.
Which table should you choose?
It makes sense to buy round wooden tables only when your room is spacious enough and you can approach from any side.
Important: a rounded table may have a different color than chairs - and this will not violate the canons of style.
Oval models cannot be placed in a corner; the ideal place for them is the most prominent and well-lit part of the room.
Small tables with sturdy metal legs and a rough, hammered-out worktop can be added to kitchens, verandas, or simply stands for flower pots. If you are going to arrange lavish parties with a large number of guests, placing them on an open terrace, an ordinary table on a metal frame with a wooden table top is also suitable.
In this case, a pure white color is even undesirable, but deliberate brutality, uneven edges will only play into your hands. It is desirable to combine tables of this type with benches and other wooden furniture.
Forged structures look elegant and light, but this impression is deceiving - in terms of stability and reliability they have no equal. This means that such a table is useful not only for an open terrace, but even for a garden or a gazebo, no wind is afraid of it. It is recommended to complement the composition with wrought-iron chairs, and in order to use them comfortably, use soft pillows.
It doesn't matter whether the metal is black or painted in classic Provencal colors, it will be equally winning.
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 solution turns out to be quite appropriate, six people can safely sit at an insignificant-looking oval table. Sliding options are optimal when there is not enough space, and the number of households or guests is very large.
Among foreign manufacturers, Italian, French and Portuguese factories should be preferred, which have been producing impeccable furniture for many decades in a row. Be sure to specify when placing an order:
- what kind of wood you want to use;
- what additional equipment should be;
- optimal color;
- sizes.
Decor
Provence cannot be imagined without all sorts of small decorations and attributes, they help to give furniture and the interior as a whole a sense of completeness and completeness.
Napkins and tablecloths must be selected strictly from cotton or linen. The main color should be white, the maximum that is acceptable from the decoration is a small strip of ornament along the edges.
Striped, checkered fabric is harmoniously combined with plain walls, as an option, you can use textiles with a small floral print. Hand embroidery looks good in almost any way. By placing candles in a candlestick made of natural material, you will only enhance the positive impression.
A Provence-style table can be made by hand. See the following video for decorating such a table.
