Sconce in the style of "Provence" and "Country"

 Provence and Country Wall Sconce

Provence and country styles with their warmth certainly require the same cozy lighting. With this task it is difficult to cope with the central lighting, because the ceiling chandeliers and lamps with warm light look somewhat gloomy and dull.

A successful alternative are the wall models for local light: stylish wall lamps in Provence and Country styles.

About styles

People who remotely imagine both styles easily confuse them with each other, combining concepts. At the same time styles can really be called relatives, because their appearance followed each other with the addition of new details.

Country has always been the primary source - country style with homely quality of every detail and cute rural motives.Each of its details breathes warmth, and therefore is characterized by more warm tones in combination with natural wood.

Provence also became a successful variation of country music, because the creator of the style is the French bourgeoisie, inspired by the magnificent views and landscapes of the south-east of France. The preserved simplicity of the furniture here has acquired a cool, airy and transparent hues, becoming at the same time refined, but still cozy and homely.

The last round of styles was shebby-chic, diluted with interesting interior items, naturally or artificially aged.

Lighting features

Wall lamps in village styles are important as well as the main lighting, and therefore it is not recommended to save and select "non-power" options. Of course, designer lamps will get into the style precisely and clearly, but you can find other bras - and, if necessary, bring them to fall into the style. This can be done only with accurate knowledge of the details.

Country style is expressed in simple lamps, made of steel and painted in black or white shades.

Open ceiling lamps are in priority here (when compared with closed ones), revealing the warm light of halogen devices or incandescent lamps.It is worth noting that the lamp with darkened golden glass gives a special character to the wall lamp. Here (as in the Provence style), a bar or nails are used as fasteners in simpler versions.

Provence involves a more subtle approach to the choice of sconces. The bar for the lamp must necessarily be figured, and even better - with the presence of interesting details (for example, floral or floral motifs). Patterns are made with the help of masters of the forged case.

Twists and branches of trees, delicate buds - these are the key points of choice. The number of ceiling lamps in sconces, as a rule, does not exceed two.

Kinds

Wall sconces are more likely to have open luminaires that aesthetically frame the warm light of the lamps. They may have forging elements or be a kind of metal plates. The simplicity of the ceiling here is compensated by curly barbell.

An alternative to open models is closed frosted glass hemispheres with steel elements. The sight of them is luxurious and really immerses into the atmosphere of that era. The advantage of this option can be considered the possibility of using LED lamps with yellow glass, this reduces the cost of electricity.

Another popular option is a model with a textile shade on a curly bar. Many people prefer to paint such products in cold colors and decorate with lavender. Geometric patterns on textiles are well suited to country music.

Fabric shade (as if sewn from a rustic tablecloth) is more relevant than ever.

Color solutions

The color solutions of country styles and Provence are different, although sometimes there are some similarities. Provence is based on a cold or neutral gamut, but warm colors are peculiar to country music: peach, soft red.

One way or another, the judgments that styles are limited in shades are wrong. No, Provence is not only a milky tone. Blue, gray, lemon and gray tones are often found here and look very organic, as noted by many. Well suited for rustic styles and hot pink palette.

Since prints and country styles are welcome in Provence styles, it is not possible to unambiguously single out any particular color. It is more reasonable here to determine the win-win color of the base and the shade of the colors, birds and other prints used to decorate the wall sconce.

Ideal style combinations of color palettes:

  • white base in combination with sand tones, indigo and multi-color compositions;
  • cream base with pink and green patterns;
  • gray base with lavender or lemon decor.

Each shade has thousands of semitones, and therefore the colors of the wall lamps delight with their diversity and uniqueness.

Selecting the appropriate option, you should consider the interior design, the most minor nuances. In this case, the design will turn out complete, and you will not be disappointed in the result. Sconce will be a real decoration of the room, its highlight.

Materials

Plastic and other unnatural materials cannot be seen in the rustic interior, and therefore the choice of the luminaire should be naturalness regarding the shades and the bases.

Bleached is a good choice. wood for Provence style, natural shade - for country. Looks great ceramics at the base. It should be said that it is rarely used, because such material is quite fragile, though beautiful. The stucco of this material on the grounds looks noble and gives the room a special status.

The material relevant to any direction is metal. Forged parts with a twist effect, imitating the turns, look win-win in any wall sconces. For bright interiors, metal dyeing in white tones is suitable, for those made in darker colors - in gilded and black shades.

The material for the ceiling in popular models is textilewhich at first glance may seem impractical. However, modern models have a fabric that is protected from fire and resistant to dirt and dust. The material is matte and soft.

Glass ceiling lamps are also used in wall sconces - for example, in hemispherical lamps. In the manufacture of glass turns thick and faceted, which as a result gives the light the very warmth and intimacy.
