Choosing paintings for the kitchen in the style of Provence

The painting can beautify almost any design. But there are some directions that are difficult to imagine without artwork on the wall. One of these interiors is in Provence style.

There are several rules in accordance with which it is worth choosing a decor item.

• The purchased canvas, which is planned to be placed on the wall, should ideally match the color scheme with the rest of the interior.
• The painting is more often used when it is required to cover the empty space on the wall. But such an accessory should not attract all the attention.
• If you choose the right shades of painting, then you will be able to add a little zest to the design. At the same time, let the canvas have one or two brighter shades.
• If the purpose of the picture is different and you want to make a bright accent, then the color palette used in the picture should not completely coincide in color with the one used in the interior.

Of course, it is impossible to fully replace such a picture with photo wallpaper, however, it is these cheaper options that are often in demand. Typical Provence canvases are very simple, it could be an olive tree, roosters or chickens, perhaps an antique clock on a fireplace or grape bushes. Rural landscapes are dominated by pastel colors:

• lactic;

• blue;

• olive;

• beige.

The designer should remember that the plot that the artist supports must be combined with the environment where the work of art is planned to be placed. In this case, it can be kitchen utensils, food, or something else depicted on the canvas and reminiscent of cooking. There is no need to arrange an art gallery in the room, two small or one large paintings on the wall are enough to harmoniously complement the design. It will look very attractive if you buy an antique frame for such a canvas.

If you want the wall to be decorated with a more practical product that could be washed with water if necessary, then you should use special washable photo wallpaper. They can completely close one wall, while adding a special touch to the design, making it unusual, in a special way of home. It is always comfortable to be in such an environment.

A romantic still life will fit well into almost any color scheme, based on the idea of ​​which was used in pink and white tones. The picture will look good roses in a jug, a small lavender bouquet, several tea cups and saucers and an old, maybe even vintage clock.
