The charm of French antiquity on the example of the interior of a vintage country house

Interiors with elements of old design have always been especially mysterious. Behind each item or decorative accessory there may be some kind of story or family secret of the owners of the house.

This is exactly what impresses visitors with a stylish vintage house on the outskirts of France.

The exterior of the building is made in the style of centuries-old buildings that have survived many generations of owners. The light gray stone on the walls demonstrates that, despite the past years, the house is still extremely durable and ready to accept new residents. At the same time, window frames, doors and accessories look quite modern, without detracting from the values ​​of the old image of the building.

Wood, stone, beams ...

The interior of the house is sustained in harmony of peace and tranquility. In such a room it is pleasant to spend family evenings for a leisurely conversation and tea drinking.

Natural materials emphasize unity with nature. Unprocessed surfaces at first glance very organically support the overall atmosphere of the living room.

All furnishings that are not antique are artificially aged. Shabby wooden pieces of furniture go well with floorboards. Upholstered furniture upholstered in rough fabric is complemented by embroidered decorative pillows.

The focus is on a metal fireplace with a chimney. Its appearance emphasizes the vintage atmosphere, so the designer did not mask the fireplace, but instead highlighted it by setting it on a pedestal of stone.

The style chosen by the master involves the use of many accessories. So for the living room, various lamps, an abundance of paintings on the walls and many pleasant trifles became decorations.

Weaving styles

It is possible to emphasize the tenderness and subtlety of the vintage style by using elements of other directions. So along the stairs leading to the second floor, you can see a lot of mirrors in classic frames. In addition, it is worth highlighting the theme of the paintings. The abstraction of images fit perfectly into the interior in its texture and color scheme. You can also note the rounded lamps in oriental style, made of rice paper.

Cozy terrace and bedroom with plenty of wood and textiles

The spacious terrace offers wonderful views of the surroundings. Here you will not find modern double-glazed windows that separate visitors from glass from nature. Wooden beams and aged furniture surfaces give the air a unique aroma of wood.

Separately, a dining area is highlighted here.

Vintage table and wardrobe fit perfectly into the overall image of the house. Wicker furniture is in harmony with the monograms of metal accessories. The charm of the place is given by wooden shutters of pale blue color.

Upholstered furniture trimmed with vintage striped fabric resembles a "grandmother" mattress. At the same time, this finish perfectly complements the image. Also here are items made of leather, metal and glass.

A romantic setting can be achieved by lighting large candles in specially prepared glass vases and rounded metal chandeliers.

The bedroom also has an abundance of stone, wood and textiles. A canopy made of transparent lightweight fabric looks especially original in such an interior. The combination of elegant elements with massive structures makes the overall appearance of the room balanced and harmonious.

Functional rooms in vintage style

The kitchen in a house in France was the only place where the designer allowed himself to use bright spots of color. In addition to bright red dishes, chrome surfaces appear here, which are more typical of modern styles.

In addition, signs of a modern style can be seen in the execution of kitchen furniture. Here appeared modern materials (plastic) and forms more relevant to our time. At the same time, all these inclusions are perfectly combined with wooden beams and other signs of the general style of the house.

Separately allocated dining area in the house. Here the beams are painted white. This design move has made the space brighter. Crystal, glass and dark red furniture give the room a certain solemnity, which is adjacent to the simplicity of the basic style.

White upholstered furniture is not practical. But it looks extremely impressive against the general background of darker colors.

The bathroom is divided into practical areas for their intended purpose. The main ones are light green and white. This range allows you to feel the freshness while in the bathroom, and also creates the impression of a sterile clean room.

A small number of storage systems and decorative elements frees up some extra space. In this bathroom you can see only the most necessary. The room is very practical.

A common characteristic of the house can be considered a large number of accessories and decorations. A closet full of books looks very appropriate. At the same time, the rooms do not seem cluttered.

A special place in the design of the rooms is occupied by original and unusual things that have no practical purpose. At the same time, such pleasant trifles make the house especially cozy and inhabited.

Such a small house in French Provence is suitable for a small family or a couple in love for spending days in comfort and coziness.
