Windows and lighting
According to all the canons of the provance style, the bathroom should be filled with light. If the layout allows you to have a window in it, then this is real luck.

Unfortunately, in the city apartments in the bathrooms the windows project is not provided and by this they lose out of town houses. In this case, you will need to create in the bathroom the most bright and comfortable lighting with the help of the ceiling chandelier and wall fixtures.

Curbstone under a sink, a case and other furniture
The first violin of the bathroom ensemble is undoubtedly the sink. This is a miracle of miracles, it is worthy of our admiration. Twisted and carved, worn and aged, but always vintage. Provence bollard under the sink attracts the views of its historical beauty.
She is echoed by a functional case for storing items of hygienic care. The style should be identical to the cabinet. The bathroom case is made high and narrow, and sometimes it is replaced with a typical a * la Provence style chest of drawers.
All this is complemented by mounted shelves, to store numerous decor and accessories.
The presence of furniture chips, scratches, abrasions and cracks for someone seems out of place. However, for the bathroom, Provence - this is the first sign of style and brings us the history of antiquity.

Manufacturers achieve the desired effect with the help of artificial aging of wood. The presence of lightweight cobwebs is welcomed on the furniture; it can be of bronze, brass or copper color.
Solid furniture can be completely wooden or have glass elements.
Natural furniture in the style of Provence is not cheap and not everyone can buy it. I found a way out of the situation with the help of the old "grandmother" furniture removed from the attic. She seemed to be waiting for her finest hour and wonderfully fit into my design idea.
In this style, you can not use modern furniture.
If you wish, you can install a washbasin in the old chest of drawers, and use a restored cupboard instead of a vintage cabinet for storing towels and other stand-alone items.
