Provence loves his nostalgic and cheerful mood, the opportunity to get closer to nature and use antique furniture. How to create an atmosphere of a country house from Sunny France in your apartment - tell me in the article.
1 Select a light natural finish
The walls permissible to leave plastered, with small irregularities, or paint, can also be saved with wallpaper (monophonic or with a light floral print). Sometimes the walls are separated by wooden panels painted in light tones. The floors should be wooden, or can be lined with stone terracotta tiles. Ceilings can be decorated with wooden beams (now they make them polyurethane), provided that the height of the ceilings is allowed.
