In this case, it is desirable to purchase a pair of spare sets from monophonic material that you can change depending on the mood.
Despite the fact that the style of Provence is determined by dairy and pastel shades, it allows us to use bright accents. This technique will add the interior of modernity. You can duplicate a bright color or use contrasting solutions. Popular combination: one shade in the curtain pattern and the same color decorative sofa cushion.
