Provence style is a setting in bright colors, and always - comfort in any home. It is appropriate in the hallway - the area of the house that sets the tone for the entire dwelling.
It’s not so simple to design a hall in the Provence style - although it looks simple, the interior of the Provence hall requires attention to a lot of little things.
The design of the entrance hall in the Provence style in housing, the interiors of all other rooms of which are decorated in other directions, will look somewhat strange.
This style can only be combined with rural motifs - country, rustic, shabby chic.
Making the hallway in this style, you need to pay attention to five main points: color design, decoration, furniture, lighting and accessories.
We also recommend:
White color is basic. Together with it, variations of tones of peach, olives, pastel of brownish tones, mint color, moderately matte black, lemon color are used.
The design of the hallway Provence is the purity of the color scheme: the color does not flow from shade to shade, but is clearly delimited by interior items of different colors, then the accents become noticeable.
Situation
Furniture is a key detail in any environment. Furniture can be found in antique stores, buy a modern, antique stylized, or make yourself.
In the center of the hallway, it’s reasonable to put a chest of drawers - this is an object in the right style, and a place for hats, scarves, gloves and other things usually stored in the hallway, and a shelf for a mirror, keys and bags.
Do not forget not only about the shape of the thing, but also about its color - white or light blue - exactly what suits Provence.
Among the furniture in the hallway in the Provence style, a bench is also mandatory - it is possible with built-in shelves for shoes, and a rack-hanger.
These items can be decorated in decoupage, trimmed with cloths, decorated with weaving, forging - all that inspires thoughts about rural life. If the place does not allow, then the shop will be replaced by an old chair or a bulky stool.
The closet in the hallway is also obligatory, Provence assumes things in a rustic spirit, if it is not possible to purchase an old thing of this kind, you can independently age a new cabinet of a suitable model, sanded it and unevenly painted with light paint, imposing strokes carelessly.
By the way, you can age any item for the hallway, or purchase things styled antique.
It’s good to place an umbrella stand here. The mirror should also be in the appropriate style frame.
Lighting
There should be good lighting in the rural-style hallway of France. Ideally, natural. If this is not possible due to the absence of windows in the hallway, many lamps must be installed.
An interesting move and way out will be the imitation of a window illuminated by a fluorescent lamp and a rural landscape or a garden poster.
Lamps on the ceiling and sconces should be designed in the appropriate style - wooden, glass, with forged parts.
Accessories
Without the lovely little things appropriate in the hallway, the picture of the interior Provence would not be complete.
It can be completed with dried flowers, living plants in unique pots - in the form of an old shoe, in the form of a clay crock, in a pot with a braid.
Photo frames with old photographs of the family and porcelain figurines will look great. A forged candlestick, vase or clay jug are accessories that will make the interior harmonious.
It is necessary to pay attention to the texture and pattern of the upholstery of benches and chairs. Such trifles as openwork napkins, rustic rugs and rugs - all this is not only appropriate, but also necessary in the hallway in the style of Provence.
Such a hallway is suitable for people who value touching, but at the same time convenient and elegant simplicity. The Provence-style entrance hall will fill the house with a mood of lightness and cheerfulness.

Choosing furniture for the entrance area
In the arrangement, simple and massive furniture is used, which has scratches, chips and scuffs.

The furniture is predominantly in bright colors and is complemented by copper, bronze or brass fittings.
The hallway is equipped with a wardrobe, chest of drawers, open shelves with different configurations, the room is decorated with wicker boxes and baskets.

Finishing and materials
During the repair of the corridor in the Provence style, designers recommend adhering to certain rules and use exclusively natural materials that are practical and of high quality.
For walls, decorative plaster and wooden panels are chosen. As a relief coating, stone or brickwork is suitable. A very stylish solution is textile lining with cute floral patterns and prints with imitation wood or murals. The best option is to paste paper wallpapers with modest and discreet patterns. Striped, cage or polka dot cloths, as well as products imitating linen or matting, are ideal.
In the spacious corridor, the walls are finished with natural wood panels. The surface is appropriate to paint, varnish or artificially age.
To create a reliable atmosphere of Provence in the interior, one of the walls is supplemented with a false window with the image of a lavender field or a landscape with streets of France. You can complete the overall composition with the help of light curtains and a console-window sill.

If textured plaster is used in wall decoration, then this coating is also suitable for decorating the ceiling. The traditional way will be whitewashing in dairy, beige, bleached olive, lilac or blue tones. In the interior of an apartment with a high ceiling, it is appropriate to use lightweight beams or beams made of light or almost black wood shade of wenge.
The design will perfectly complement the simple wooden flooring from unpainted or specially aged boards. Matte parquet or laminate with imitation of natural texture will also harmoniously fit into the general concept. A fairly practical solution for the floor is ceramic tile, which, thanks to its huge variety, will contribute to the creation of a truly sophisticated, sophisticated and extraordinary Provencal interior.

Materials
When decorating the hallway, corridor, hall, it is important to use only natural materials. Laminate, linoleum and plastic prefer a stone surface, wooden boards, and a modern style wardrobe - metal hangers.
For owners of country houses or apartments who want to achieve the atmosphere of Provence, it is better to cover the walls with paint or use paper wallpapers with a floral pattern. Discard stretch ceilings in favor of plaster, rough whitewash.
The use of plastic panels is also not recommended.
Anyone who is afraid of white, because he is associated with the hospital ward, it's time to “arm” with brushes and cans of beige, cream, milk paint. You will not lose if you apply textured plaster on the walls. They can also be upholstered with wood paneling.
If your choice fell on the wallpaper, try to look for inexpensive models without the effect of velor, velvet, gloss. No sparkles, abstractions and pop art prints on them should be depicted. Floral motifs, an unobtrusive small floral pattern, a contrasting strip or polka dots - these are the main ideas for creating a "background" in the hallway.
Also, the walls can be covered with decorative plaster, panels, battens from wood, to produce a relief finish using stone or brickwork. Fabric solutions for walls will look incredibly stylish. Textile decoration should show cute floral patterns, a wood-like print, and a fresco.
Organically fit into the interior of the hallway wall with a false window. This technique will make the room visually wider, more spacious. The image of the window overlooking the lavender field, the provincial town - you will feel absolute comfort from being in the corridor, lobby.
It is best to lay a wooden board under your feet. Give up carpet, parquet and carpets. The floor is best treated with white or light gray paint. Terracotta plates, a fresco with cut corners, and the effect of a worn surface will look ideal in Provencal style.
The entrance, decorated with stone, looks expensive and luxurious. At the same time, a cozy and such homely country style is not lost anywhere.
Colors
A beautiful hallway in the Provence style should be associated with the warm rays of the sun, cause a carefree state of mind and surprise guests from the doorway. In this case, it is important to choose the right color palette for the walls, ceiling, flooring and furniture. It is also necessary to correctly design the lighting to highlight the functional areas and strengths of the interior.
With the help of a successful combination of shades, you can achieve both the elegance of a French house and rustic charm. The predominance of white in contrast with lavender, light green, purple will remind you of the freshness of the salty breeze, the aroma of Provencal herbs.
A properly designed entrance hall gives the impression of an expensive and luxurious mansion.
It is so simple to get to the hot sea coast if you use a palette of sandy, muted yellow, pale blue, pale green, peach. A win-win option would be the tone of dried clay, the color of the sea wave.To paint with such a palette is not only walls, ceilings and floors, but also to observe the “color balance” in the decor elements (furniture, textiles, figurines, etc.).
Do not forget to create a beautiful effect of aging things, do not hide decorative chips, cracks and other irregularities. A feature of the Provence style is burnt places, bald spots, roughness and bulge. The natural shade of wood also harmoniously fits into the provincial atmosphere of the room. You can decorate the walls with stucco, branches of the vine.
Whatever color scheme you choose, you do not need to use LED backlights and a dot system. The sconces, floor lamps, lamps with lampshades, and other forged structures will ideally look on the ceiling and walls.

Cold shades of purple, purple, pink.
Gentle light green, pale turquoise, light blue notes.

How to choose furniture?
When choosing furniture, trust the professional look of a designer who will not miss a single detail. Wooden frames, candlesticks, exquisite door handles, a chandelier with forging elements - this will make your corridor literally an exhibition room. Guests will be delighted with the general atmosphere, despite the fact that you purchased simple wooden furniture and did not even hide the scuffs, roughnesses of the surfaces.
When buying wardrobes and chests of drawers, make sure that their height is below average. Your task is to visually increase the square meters of the hallway, which means that you can safely refuse wardrobes, high-rise hangers. Do not overload the space with bulky hinged shelves - just a couple of wooden planks with flower pots neatly placed on them.
The furniture should also be made of natural materials.
Wicker baskets for laundry, storage of household accessories can be placed next to the front door. It is better to hide any wires, communication systems from prying eyes. They look appropriate in the style of loft, urban chic, fusion, but for country and village motifs they are a "bad manners".
At the entrance, it's time to take out a small plain chair with colorful upholstery. The drawing should be small, organically emphasizing the decor of the room itself. Bring light wooden furniture into the corridor: walnut, alder, ash, oak. You can also use wicker and forged items. It can be a rattan or cane chair, a metal rack-rack.
Furniture should be massive and simple. Its main decorative feature is age. Scratches and chips that appear through the shabby paint - a highlight of the interior of the hallway in the country. You can use both antiques and modern objects with the effects of antiquity.
You should "arm yourself" with cupboards, a coffee table, a small library cabinet, a functional console, and hangers. Decorate wood furniture with floral patterns using the decoupage technique. A small wrought iron couch, chair or bench will elegantly look in the hallway, as well as for the country style. In Provence, a wooden table with decorative carving on legs looks romantic.
How to issue?
To design a rustic-style entrance room with notes of provincial France, pay attention to the little things. Wood is wood, and textiles will create the true atmosphere. Decorate the entrance hall with plain, translucent fabrics, set up a screen, throw pillows of various shapes on chairs and couches.
Despite the fact that you are decorating a room in which you are going to change clothes and store weekend clothes, shoes, it will not be superfluous to plant several potted plants. Paying attention to details, you will create a comfortable and welcoming interior.
Run into the corridor as much light as possible. If you have a window installed in this part of the house, try experimenting with decorative moldings by dividing the glass into sections.
Thus, you will achieve a real French style.
The Provencal style room is designed using exquisite details:
chairs with peeling legs
cabinets and chests of pastel colors also with traces of "scuffs",
furniture only in bright colors from such species of wood as chestnut, oak, walnut,
the presence of a decorative "props" in the hallway in the form of a birdcage, shells, seabirds, fishing nets,
flower theme not only as a print on the bedspreads, but also in vases (roses, alfalfa, a bouquet of lavender, dried flower),
wrought iron lamps, flower pots and photo frames, door handles, key holders,
pretty wicker baskets for hats, other accessories.
The provence hallway can be decorated using other materials and accessories, as well as successfully combine several similar styles: country, rustic, boho and shabby chic. Everything around should resemble a heirloom, antiques. From the doorway, your guests should feel at home.
In a country house, wooden pallets and chests can be displayed under a bulky mirror in the corridor. They will make the interior less catchy, will allow you to fully enjoy the spirit of Provence. For an apartment, it is better to limit yourself to a table lamp, stylish watches and other accessories that reflect the concept of a rustic country.
Interior Design Options
You can decorate a room in different ways. A rather popular method is the abundance of forged elements with a patina. On the one hand, you get the notorious luxury, on the other - you relax in a provincial calm atmosphere. A good option would be a combination of luxurious Provence and a simple rustic style. Against the background of elegant snow-white or milk walls, miniature pouffes, armchairs covered with natural fabric in a small flower will look beautiful.
Gentle pink shade of the furniture set, miniature lamps, decorative figurines will give romance to the interior. This is a clear echo of the delicate style of shabby chic mixed with the charming Provence. In both cases, the effect of shabby, aged furniture, forging and carving is appropriate.
Do not skimp on creating a fashionable design of the hall with an abundance of textiles. Light curtains, napkins, tablecloths on a coffee table, chest of drawers will not interfere in the interior. Try to use only linen, cotton or wool.
It is not worth overloading the atmosphere with colorful prints and decor, because Provence is more committed to minimalism than to pompous luxury.
To emphasize the beauty and sense of taste, “arm yourself” with furniture with floral prints. Plant patterns, such as fragrant flowers, shrubs, flying dragonflies, perfectly fit into the atmosphere of the entrance room.
The design of such a romantic style will suit people with a calm temperament. This direction inspires, gives a feeling of peace, tranquility. Natural and picturesque provence can be so different!
Some will prefer to paint the walls in white, placing emphasis with the help of blue or turquoise boards, pale lilac furniture. Others will want to place a table or a couch with metal legs under the wall with a simple pattern, to add the effect of aging to the wardrobe itself. It will not be superfluous to find a huge mirror on the entire wall. Designers recommend decorating it with a white wooden frame.
The wall decorated with stucco with a rough texture will look exquisite. If you decide to lay wooden boards on the floor, then it is better to decorate the walls with large fragments of ceramic tiles. Equipping the hallway, do not forget to hang a couple of paintings, for example, with a lavender field.
A few soft chairs will be enough in the hallway in a Provencal atmosphere. Pay attention to what materials you select, how to combine colors, and whether all the furniture you process to give a charming effect of “aging”.
Hallway Interior Design
The interior in the Provencal style welcomes a large number of textile elements. If there is a window in the hallway, it is decorated with light curtains, and a table, console or chest of drawers is decorated with napkins and tablecloths made of cotton or linen.
Elegant snow-white or milk wall decoration is favorably emphasized by furniture in the form of miniature ottomans or armchairs with natural textile upholstery with a small floral print.
The design of the hallway in a private house can be decorated with a large wall or floor mirror and a wooden box or an old chest can be placed next to it. Such a design idea will give the atmosphere a less catchy appearance and will fully correspond to the spirit of Provence.
Advantages of the Provence Style Entrance Hall
Before deciding to recreate fashionable provence in your corridor, you should carefully weigh the pros and cons. Much in this matter is individual, however, several positive and negative characteristics of such an interior style can be distinguished.
Let's start with the good points:
- First, Provence is one of the easiest to recreate styles. After all, accessories and interior items for him are not difficult to find in any relevant store. Therefore, the hallway in the style of Provence can be bought almost ready-made.
- Secondly, Provence has a nice color palette. Here you will find pink, and pale yellow, and lavender, and blue, and muted light green shades. These colors soothe the look, and therefore look great in the bedroom, in the kitchen and, of course, in the hallway. They will help to make it brighter, and this quality, as you know, is especially valuable for a hallway in which there are no windows.
In addition, the Provence style interior is durable. After all, most items are made of wood, which has practical properties. In addition, this material is environmentally friendly.
Possible style flaws
However, deciding to recreate the hallway in the Provence style, one should take into account possible negative aspects. This style is very popular, and therefore it may seem battered. But most people still prefer to create a bedroom in the style of Provence or a kitchen. Therefore, the hallway in the style of Provence will look very original. You can emphasize this uniqueness even more by diluting the traditional Provence with fashionable contrasting details, which we will talk about below.
Organic style with numerous attributes of a French village
Advice! However, one should be careful with this style, otherwise you risk, instead of the refined interior in the spirit of rural France, to recreate the atmosphere of a grandmother's closet. Therefore, this interior is recommended to be diluted with contrasting details.
The main features of the Provence style
Provence is the style that is perhaps the easiest to distinguish from the rest. The only nuance is that it is easy to confuse it with the country style, however, these areas of design thought are so similar that only a professional can see the difference between them.
Design Tips and Style Features:
- Pastel color palette (give preference to pale pink, muted yellow, light blue, beige, cream, white, etc.).
- The prevalence of natural materials (especially wood).
- Love for floral patterns (they can be on anything - from boxes for various little things to images engraved on the galoshnik).
- The presence of aged things
- The prevalence of textiles made from natural fabrics: cotton, chintz, etc.
Creating any style of interior, you need to think it through to the smallest detail. Therefore, we consider the features of decorating the ceiling, floor and walls separately.
Arrangement of furniture in the hallway in the style of Provence
Furniture in the hallway in the style of Provence should be selected carefully. As a result, you should get a practically weightless, airy room. Therefore, it should not be piled with objects. There should not be anything superfluous in the corridor. Down with bulky cabinets and cabinets!
Of course, you can’t do without a closet in the hallway. Therefore, try to fit it as organically as possible into the interior of the room. To do this, use the closet in the hallway in the style of Provence in white or the same shade as the rest of the interior. This will achieve the effect of airiness.
In a small room, the minimum amount of furniture is appropriate
Advice! Use the hangers in the hallway in the Provence style - they will replace you bulky wardrobes and are suitable for storing seasonal clothes that you constantly use.
A small chest of drawers and a place for storing shoes will not harm the interior of the hallway. A well-located mirror can work wonders with the dimensions of even a tiny hallway - it will visually expand the room. To do this, it is better to choose models with forged frames with patterns that organically fit into the proven interior.

Wall decoration
Here you should adhere to the main rule of design: to visually expand the room, you should use light colors, and vice versa. Of course, for a corridor devoid of natural light, light colors that are characteristic of the Provence style will be welcomed. This is important, given the realities of modern small-sized apartments. The corridors in them are often unreasonably narrow. And you can expand them visually with the help of light shades.
Idea! A great alternative to wallpaper can be painting walls or choosing wallpaper for painting. In this case, you will achieve a unique shade.
However, if you are creative and not afraid of experimentation, why not combine wallpapers of different textures and patterns? For example, certain parts of the wall can be distinguished using brighter flower wallpapers. This is a very fashionable trend recently.
You can also play with the texture of the wallpaper. They do not have to be smooth, but can have convex patterns, for example, voluminous colors.
Another fashion trend, the use of which will only emphasize the chosen style, is decorating the lower part of the walls with panels or boards. Especially the Provence style is suitable for boards painted in white or natural color.
The prevalence of natural fabrics and finishing materials
Floor design
To recreate the Provence style in the most organic way, special attention should be paid to the floor. For this, both linoleum and parquet or laminate are suitable. The main thing is that the coating resembles a natural tree as much as possible.
Advice! Provence does not really appreciate flooring solutions like laminate and linoleum. However, given the current realities, you can go for some liberties and afford such coverage. Only it should look as natural as possible. Today you can buy a laminate, which in appearance is in no way inferior to parquet.
Your hallway will get a special chic if you use a coating with the effect of artificially aged material. However, one should be careful with this technique so that there is no sense of sloppiness. The tile in the hallway will also look very organic. This material is ideal to recreate the Provence style.
You will achieve the original effect by covering the corridor with ceramic tiles with the effect of aging.
However, it should be remembered that this is a fragile and cold material, so they can only trim the threshold. Thus, you mark the place for shoes.
Advice! If you are not sure about something, it is better to limit yourself to the usual coating, otherwise you run the risk of picking up incompatible options and ruining the style.
Large ceramic tiles decorate the floor in the country house
Underfloor heating made of natural materials does not require carpets
The hallway can be left without a rug. But in this case, a special requirement is placed on the quality of the coating, because all its flaws will be visible.
Advice! If you want to make the entrance hall more comfortable and warm, a small carpet will help you with this. Choose non-big models with a small pile. An excessively long pile will collect too much dust.
Ceiling in the hallway
As for the ceiling, everything is simpler here. You can use the usual options. However, it is still better to give preference to matte ceilings, leaving glossy glamorous options for more catchy interiors.
If you do not want to be limited to standard classical solutions, then consider the now fashionable option with decorative beams. Alternatively, you can use the decoration of the ceiling with wooden boards. However, this is an unnecessarily painstaking option.
Of particular note is the chandelier. It should be simple: the Provence style does not accept glamor and all kinds of delights. Pay attention to the chandeliers with wrought iron elements and patterns. It is especially successful if they are combined with similar details on the mirror. It’s good if you supplement the central lighting with wall sconces or a table lamp. The latter can be placed on the dresser.
Advice! Be careful with wood ceilings. If you decide on this option, you should limit yourself to the use of wooden boards on the walls, otherwise the room will resemble a cottage or a bathhouse.
Hall in Provence style: little things and accessories
The design of the hall in the Provence style, like no other, welcomes the presence of all kinds of trinkets that can transform even the most academic interior.
The following cute details will help you in arranging the interior and giving it coziness:
- boxes for storing trifles,
- decorative pillows scattered around a banquet or ottoman,
- mirrors with patterned frames,
- chest of drawers with old handles, etc.
- various inserts made of stained glass, epoxy and other natural materials.
You can add a rustic chic to your corridor by placing a large vase of wildflowers on the floor. However, special attention should be paid to its location. It is necessary to put it in such a way that it does not interfere with undressing and shoes.
Advice! Think about the decor of the entrance and interior doors. Decorate them deliberately with simple wreaths of coarse branches. To them, depending on the season, you can casually attach flowers, berries or fruits. And what a flight of fancy you have for the new year!
Recently, it has been fashionable to combine different styles in the interior, creating eclecticism. And the interior in the Provence style can be successfully diluted with elements of other directions to emphasize the modernity of the decor. So, Provence goes well with solutions such as rustic, shabby chic and country. You can use decorative elements borrowed from the loft style. In any case, deciding on such an experiment, you should carefully think through everything, otherwise you risk violating the entire design.
Accessories emphasize style
Hall in the style of Provence is an interesting, relevant solution. However, it obliges to adhere to related styles in the interior of other rooms. Otherwise, neither you nor your guests will have the impression of a unity of space, and differences in styles will hurt the eye. Therefore, think over the interior design of the corridor in the same style with other rooms.
