If you are part of incurable romantics and want to arrange your home patio according to your nature, then you should undoubtedly use the Provencal style. Provencal houses are unique, rustic and charming in the same time.
Provencal style appeared and formed in the 19th century, in the south of France (Provence), a fertile and sunny region, situated on the shores of Mediterranean Sea. It’s actually a unique style that represents perfectly the people that live in those places.

The main idea of this style is to keep and maintain the traditions, the customs of these unique lands, to preserve the rural life in the south of France and the peace and quiet pace in which it takes place away from the vibrant rhythm of big cities and their excitements.

The Key Elements of the Provencal Style
One of the basics in Provencal style decorating is wrought iron furniture.

Wooden elements on the terrace (floor, benches, table, chairs and all kinds of other wooden decorations) should have a vintage and obsolete look.
