Curtains for the kitchen in the style of "Provence"

The name of the style “Provence” is translated as “province”, “village”, and it personifies as if the romantic and such simple depths of France. The interior in the direction of “Provence” is dusty colors and laconic smooth forms, it is a lot of textiles and various decorative elements that turn the kitchen space of your home into the coziest place in the world.

Curtains in the style of "Provence" for the kitchen are different from the accessories of another interior direction and have their own advantages, as we will discuss in the section.

• Simple cut - the main criterion for the selection of curtains in the French style. Let it be two short pieces of high-quality fabric and pleasant colors, as a decor you can add ruffles, brushes, bows, fringe or something else (except rhinestones, of course), it is important not to overload the curtains with fashionable design “tricks” and just make a couple zavyazochek on their bottom.

• Natural fabrics are exclusively used for sewing curtains for the kitchen in the style of "Provence": cotton, linen, velvet, their combination, but it is impossible to use cheap synthetics for interior decoration in refined French style. “Provence” implies something natural and only natural, simple to care for and laconic in its own image, all that is available to the villagers of the most romantic corner of Europe.
• The colors of the “Provence” curtains can be different: there are both plain models with ruffles or bows, and curtains with a small print: stripes, flowers, “light” geometry.A large drawing in the “Provance” is rather an exception that can easily destroy the delicate presentation of your room. The use of small patterns and bright colors will be the right decision when choosing curtains for the kitchen.
• The length of the curtains in the interior of the kitchen "Provence" usually does not exceed the window sill or may be slightly lower. In this interior direction, long curtains are rarely used as part of the kitchen, often curtain models resemble curtain-cafe curtains - short rounded patches on the windows.

The main rule of the color of the curtains of the "Provence" format is tenderness and unobtrusiveness. “Provence” is in itself soft and romantic, so all the objects of the provincial French interior should be in harmony with each other and create something light and airy. As for the kitchen, pastel-colored textiles are often used with a fine floral pattern or with wide vertical stripes that create a contrast to the main background. Often there is a small cage or any other pattern that is original in its performance and unobtrusive, soft, and made on a single natural basis.

In the "Provance" there is a place for a large pattern on a textile basis - curtains. With such a bold choice, think about the right combination of the pattern of curtains and the general concept of the kitchen; if the pattern is contrasting and not like the traditional “village” format, take care of the length of the curtains - it should be minimal and barely close the windows so as not to overload the overall design of the room. By the way, to give a special charm forget about the proportions and safely combine the length and width of the curtains: let one pair be shorter than the other.

The style of "provenance" and "country" is original in that it allows you to combine the incompatible, or use interior objects not for its intended purpose. Small curtains will be relevant for open shelves or cupboards: they will give charm to your kitchen and allow you to protect kitchen utensils from your eyes. Making such curtains with your own hands is simple: attach a couple of patches of fabric in the style of "Provence" tofine wire and fasten the design on the dresser or sideboard - a quality and design thing is ready.

To create the most romantic and fashionable style in the interior of the kitchen, we must not forget that there are various ways of fastening curtains. Each type of attachment will make the interior more elegant or more original:

• Cornice. Fastening curtains to the eaves is the most simple and inexpensive method, of course, depends on the material of the fastening model and its dimensions. Easy to install the eaves - parallel to the window due to additional elements. The material of the cornice is natural wood of various shades, because you remember that in the “provenance” priority and exclusive materials are natural. Fastening color is selected depending on the color scale of the kitchen furniture and the curtains themselves; It is reasonable to assume that a white cornice is suitable for white curtains.

• Hook mount (again, as the basis used cornice). The curtains can be fixed with the help of hooks, which will become more close to the provincial life of the fastening method and will allow to give the interior originality and softness.

• Hinges. They will look good as anchoring not only window-style curtains in the Provence style, but also small curtains on the open shelves and dressers in the kitchen.

Dressing curtains occupies a special place in the creation of original models of curtains for the kitchen, and it is especially important that you can do it yourself. For additional decor, use ribbons, braid, fringe to match the main color of the curtains, but in different ways in saturation. It is important to create a bright space in your kitchen thanks to the use of noble and warm colors of curtains and other textile accessories.

In the spacious light-colored kitchen “Provence” directions, use light translucent curtains of that shade that would be in harmony with the color of the kitchen furniture. Let these delicate cozy curtains have a little bit darker okantovka than their transparent base.

A good solution would be the choice of transparent curtains made of white fabric - light and weightless, they will help emphasize the image of the room and remove the load from heavy furniture made of natural wood.

It is possible to combine the color of the curtains with a hint of tablecloth on the table: let these two textile accessories be created from the same fabric, this technique will look very beneficial.

The color scheme of curtains and other textiles in the kitchen can be similar, which will create a homely atmosphere in the kitchen and will deprive it of unnecessary pathos.

Are you dreaming about the length of the curtains in the kitchen, which would reach the floor? Choose models from translucent fabrics that will allow to leave space light and will fill it with charm.
