Provence-style wallpaper for the kitchen: original ideas and solutions

The French way of life has always evoked and will continue to generate great interest in people all over the world. The combination of simplicity and style makes this trend irresistible. To live in harmony with yourself and your needs, it is enough to create the atmosphere of Paris at home, purchase the appropriate wallpaper and have an idea of ​​the rural lifestyle.

The idea of ​​a country house in the south of France can be embodied in your apartment. Do not think that this will require the production of unthinkable finishing work. In the modern world, experienced designers have long come up with many options when a room can be finished without resorting to large-scale work.

If you are not ready to pay for expensive plaster, then Provence-style wallpaper for the kitchen will suit you. They are practical to use and do not require a special approach for installation. It is enough to buy the material itself and special glue. You will also need a ruler and pencil.

This material is made with glass fibers. Many types of such wallpaper are obtained due to the fact that when creating the material, different pattern thicknesses are used. After all the manipulations, the canvas is impregnated with an environmentally friendly solution of modified starch.

There are two types of fiberglass:

• painting fiberglass has a non-patterned surface and is used for leveling and reinforcing walls;
• fiberglass wallpaper is distinguished by a decorative pattern and is suitable for walls as an independent covering.

Advantages of coatings:

• environmentally friendly;
• mold does not appear;
• do not give in to fire;
• can be glued even on a rough surface;
• long service life;
• multiple painting is possible;
• wash very well with the help of improvised means.

This material is most suitable for a planned kitchen renovation, but it has a drawback - a high price.

There are other options to consider. If you prefer to stick to a wider assortment, then cellulose and textile wallpapers are fine for you. Non-woven and vinyl tapestries can also brighten up your kitchen. They are easy to clean and durable.

The image of your kitchen will depend on desires and fantasies. Choose any of the following options: plain with a pattern or combined, and they will fully satisfy your needs, since all of the above will be a component of the French interior.

If you want to maintain the style of Provence, then you definitely need to know that this style provides more "floral" patterns... Shades also play a certain role here - these are the colors of summer inflorescences, a spring apple tree, fragrant lavender, green fields. This style is also distinguished by a "chintz" pattern.

In this case, the entire Provence pattern is characterized by a single rustic motif. And therefore, the following images are inherent in it:

• chef theme: teapots, forks, saucers;
• beads;
• village motives, landscapes;
• Pets;
• an ordinary pattern in a small cell, sustained in fresh pastel colors;
• wildflowers.

Hence we can conclude that the style of Provence provides for the warmth of the hearth. Flashy shades and various trendy things are inappropriate here. Everything should look the same, simple. You can choose a solid light shade of wallpaper and stick it along the entire length of the walls in the room. But individual zones (corners, ceiling) must be highlighted with discreet trellises with a floral pattern.

There is another option when you can glue wallpaper with a characteristic pattern and color in the very middle of the walls along the entire perimeter of the kitchen, leaving some space both above, under the ceiling, and below, in the area of ​​the floor. And it is precisely this remaining space to highlight with a solid white color. You can do the same using pale pink and light blue shades.

It is also necessary to say about the finish of the floor, for example, it can be simply painted. Another option is to install special tiles with a pattern typical of the French style. If we talk about furniture, then modern kitchen sets with bar counters and cabinets with bright doors will be inappropriate here. In rural use, most of the shelves should be open so that the dishes are visible. Tables and chairs also don't have to be trendy. On the contrary, put the simplest wooden stools and the same table in the kitchen.
