Provincial design style is all about elegance. Beautiful furniture with ornate carved features, mouldings and decorative wrought iron pieces. Simple textures that combine just the right amount of rustic with chic.
Sophisticated and timeless, the Provincial design style is all about quiet elegance achieved through impeccable craftsmanship.
Furniture is ornate and often combines soft with hard. Think upholstered bedheads with tufting or studding detail, carved chests with gilding, and armchairs with cabriole legs.
Natural materials like stone, brick and gold often play a role in these spaces. Textiles are generally heavier. Embossed silk, mohair velvet or 100% linen. And they are often patterned, such as stripe, floral or check.
The colour palette in Provincial design style is a mix of creamy whites, dove greys and ivory with splashes of soft green, duck egg or inky blues. For something more adventurous, you could try accents of lavender, turquoise or dusty pink.
If you want to play with the Provincial design style, it’s been known to blend with everything from coastal to industrial. It also blends particularly well with Hamptons and country style homes.
