Provencal style chandeliers to illuminate a refined home
A
beautiful house is the one that expresses and follows the personality of its
mistress. The Provencal-style furnishings are an expression of refined
elegance, finesse, and attention to detail. A type of retro furniture that is
still able to say its own, influencing even more modern styles such as shabby
chic. Let's see together the peculiarities of furnishing and lighting in
Provencal style!
How to furnish in a Provencal style?
The
Provencal style furniture was born in France and people used to see it thanks
to old films, where luxurious and imposing chandeliers stood while maintaining
fine and delicate lines.
The
furniture used in the Provencal style is mainly made of wood, with abundant
frames and floral decorations. The predominant colors are white, ivory, and
various shades of blue and turquoise, but also warm and natural shades of wood.
The floral motifs are then repeated also on the textiles, on the chairs, on the
sofas and on the armchairs.
Among
the other elements that distinguish the Provençal houses there are the classic
crockery showcases, vases with flowers (purely from the field), elegant
boiserie on the walls and the use of fabric lampshades.
The
evolution of interior design then led, to today, to the proposal of furnishing
accessories inspired by this princely style.
The
elegant lines remain, but dampening their pomposity, thanks to the use of
modern materials and current colors, such as a total white Provencal-style chandelier,
used as a shabby chandelier (very fashionable in recent years).
What are the characteristics of the
Provencal style chandeliers?
If you love
French style and have chosen to furnish your home with Provencal style furniture,
you will surely want to complete and enhance your rooms with theme lighting.
The chandeliers in Provencal style, with their refined shape and a light rich
in nuances, are the ideal choice to be included in a context of this type.
There are
different models of chandeliers in Provencal style. Also because, since we are
talking about a style with roots deeply rooted in the past, the suspension lamp
is by far the solution that best fits the context. But not just any suspension!
The
Provencal chandeliers have the classic candlestick shape, embellished with
lampshades, hanging crystals and floral motifs. The basic materials are wood,
glass, brass and wrought iron.
Provencal chandelier or shabby chic chandeliers?
As mentioned
before, Shabby chic (very fashionable, especially in recent years) is nothing
more than a modern reinterpretation of the most classic and renowned Provencal
style. Depending on the furnishings and colors used, these 2 different visions
of furniture can coexist in the same environment.
In
particular, the white Provencal style wrought iron chandeliers are perfect for
completing a Shabby home. But the same also applies to the opposite: the
pickled effect (typical of shabby chic suspended furniture and chandeliers)
goes well with purely Provencal furnishings.
