1 PROVENCE STYLE
rovence has proved inspirational to some of the greatest painters ever, so it’s little wonder that a book dedicated to decorating your home in this beautifully rustic French style has landed on the shelves. There’s a tranquil simplicity to the aesthetic that wowed British audiences following Peter Mayle’s (which documented the renovation of his farmhouse more than thirty years ago), but the shows, with a selection of case studies including author Shauna Varvel’s own 18th-century Rhône valley farmhouse, just how covetable (and adaptable) this style can be. It also highlights how colour pairings, textures and motifs can enhance a home.
