To bring it home, start with warm colours and natural materials, then add a few traditional pieces and images of the South of France. \u2600\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is what makes a Proven\u00e7al home, its colours, and <strong>10 ideas<\/strong> to bring Provence into your home, wherever you live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Proven\u00e7al decor?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Proven\u00e7al decor draws on the farmhouses (mas) and village houses of the South of France, with thick walls and shutters kept closed in summer to hold in the cool. It is simple, rustic and full of light: everything recalls the sun, the fields and the markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Local materials:<\/strong> terracotta, stone, lime, olive and walnut wood, wrought iron, straw.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>A sun-soaked palette:<\/strong> ochre, terracotta, yellow, lavender blue, olive green and off-white.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Recognisable patterns:<\/strong> the small flowers and paisleys of Proven\u00e7al fabrics, cicadas, olives.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Objects with a past:<\/strong> weathered furniture, pottery, market baskets, painted earthenware.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Scents:<\/strong> lavender, Marseille soap, herbes de Provence drying in the kitchen.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What colours go with Proven\u00e7al decor?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Colour<\/th><th>Where it comes from<\/th><th>How to use it<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Yellow or red ochre<\/td><td>The cliffs of Roussillon and the Luberon<\/td><td>Limewashed walls, a fa\u00e7ade, a feature wall<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Terracotta<\/td><td>Floor tiles and Roman roof tiles<\/td><td>Floors, pots, tableware<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Lavender blue<\/td><td>The fields of the Valensole plateau<\/td><td>Shutters, cushions, bed linen<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Olive green<\/td><td>The olive trees of the Alpilles<\/td><td>Painted furniture, doors, curtains<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Off-white<\/td><td>Lime and limestone<\/td><td>Walls and ceilings, as a base<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Sunshine yellow<\/td><td>Printed fabrics and sunflowers<\/td><td>A touch: a tablecloth, a bunch of flowers, a poster<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10 ideas for Proven\u00e7al decor at home<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Limewashed walls in ochre<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The base of a Proven\u00e7al home is limewashed walls in warm shades, never perfectly even. A lime plaster or lime paint in yellow ochre, sand or pale pink gives that living texture that changes with the light. The village of Roussillon is the best example: its houses are the colour of the ochre quarries around it. The Ochre Trail, right next door, is like an open-air painting where red, yellow and orange blend with the green of the pines. We did the 50-minute loop, easily doable with young children, as we tell in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingtrippers.com\/en\/france-en\/provence-en\/the-roussillon-ochre-trail-and-the-colorado-provencal-by-motorhome\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">walk along the Ochre Trail on Rolling Trippers<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<section class=\"rt-posters-reco\">\n                            <h2 class=\"rt-posters-reco__title\">The ochres of Provence<\/h2>\n                        <div class=\"rt-posters-reco__grid\">\n                                                        <article class=\"rt-posters-reco__item\">\n                                                    <a class=\"rt-posters-reco__image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingposters.com\/72-affiche-roussillon-village-d-ocre-en-provence.html\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                                <img\n                                    class=\"rt-posters-reco__image\"\n                                    src=\"https:\/\/www.rollingposters.com\/731-medium_default\/affiche-roussillon-village-d-ocre-en-provence.webp\"\n                                    alt=\"Affiche  Roussillon - Village d\u2019Ocre en Provence\"\n                                    loading=\"lazy\"\n                                    decoding=\"async\"\n                                >\n                            <\/a>\n                            <a class=\"rt-posters-reco__product-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingposters.com\/72-affiche-roussillon-village-d-ocre-en-provence.html\">\n                                Affiche  Roussillon - Village d\u2019Ocre en Provence                            <\/a>\n                                            <\/article>\n                                                        <article class=\"rt-posters-reco__item\">\n                                                    <a class=\"rt-posters-reco__image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingposters.com\/31-affiche-le-colorado-provencal-terres-d-ocre.html\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                                <img\n                                    class=\"rt-posters-reco__image\"\n                                    src=\"https:\/\/www.rollingposters.com\/322-medium_default\/affiche-le-colorado-provencal-terres-d-ocre.webp\"\n                                    alt=\"Affiche Le Colorado Proven\u00e7al - Terres d\u2019Ocre\"\n                                    loading=\"lazy\"\n                                    decoding=\"async\"\n                                >\n                            <\/a>\n                            <a class=\"rt-posters-reco__product-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingposters.com\/31-affiche-le-colorado-provencal-terres-d-ocre.html\">\n                                Affiche Le Colorado Proven\u00e7al - Terres d\u2019Ocre                            <\/a>\n                                            <\/article>\n                            <\/div>\n                    <\/section>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Blue shutters and olive green<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shutters, the front door, a repainted sideboard or garden chairs: lavender blue, faded sky blue or olive green answer the ochre walls. Choose slightly washed-out shades, as if the sun had been weathering them for years. One strong colour per room is enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Printed Proven\u00e7al fabrics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Proven\u00e7al fabrics with their small flowers descend from indiennes, printed cottons that came from India. The first indienne printing workshop opened in Marseille in 1648, and the Tarascon manufacture, founded in 1806, became Souleiado in 1939, \u00ab\u00a0l&rsquo;ensoleillade\u00a0\u00bb in Proven\u00e7al, the moment when the sun breaks through the clouds after the rain. A tablecloth, a few cushions or a quilted boutis are enough to set the tone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large rpa-pd\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rollingposters.com\/roadbook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/souleiado-nappe-souleiado-rouge-a-motifs-provencaux-et-bordure-fleurie-sur-une-table-avec-des-verres-et-un-pichet-blanc-906x1024.png\" alt=\"Red Souleiado tablecloth with Proven\u00e7al patterns and a floral border on a table with glasses and a white jug\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A tablecloth printed with Proven\u00e7al patterns (photo: Souleiado)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Terracotta tiles and earthenware<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tomettes, small terracotta floor tiles that are often hexagonal, cover the floors of old houses in Provence. If you cannot change your floor, terracotta can come in other ways: large jars, plant pots, baking dishes, tiles as a splashback behind the sink. Its warm colour brightens up a white room in an instant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rollingposters.com\/roadbook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/deco-provencale-01-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"Proven\u00e7al living room corner with a weathered wooden sideboard, a straw-seated chair, a terracotta jar and a frame on an ochre wall\" class=\"wp-image-283\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rollingposters.com\/roadbook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/deco-provencale-01-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.rollingposters.com\/roadbook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/deco-provencale-01-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.rollingposters.com\/roadbook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/deco-provencale-01-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.rollingposters.com\/roadbook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/deco-provencale-01.webp 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A weathered sideboard, a straw-seated chair and a jar: the living room of a mas<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Weathered furniture and straw-seated chairs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Proven\u00e7al furniture is made of fruitwood or walnut, often carved: a low sideboard, a wedding wardrobe and a paneti\u00e8re, the small slatted cabinet hung on the wall where bread was kept. Add chairs with straw seats and a little wrought iron, a console or a headboard. A single piece found at a flea market is enough to give a modern room a Proven\u00e7al soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lavender, in bunches and sachets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A bunch of dried lavender in a jug, sachets in the wardrobes, a bundle hanging in the hallway: lavender scents and colours the house all year round. Buy it at a market or from a grower, and check where it comes from. In Les Baux-de-Provence, we learnt that not every shop sells local products, and that it would be a shame to bring back lavender that is not from Provence, as we tell in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingtrippers.com\/en\/france-en\/provence-en\/visit-les-baux-de-provence-a-weekend-in-the-alpilles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">weekend in Les Baux-de-Provence on Rolling Trippers<\/a>. \ud83c\udf3f<\/p>\n\n\n<section class=\"rt-posters-reco\">\n                        <div class=\"rt-posters-reco__grid\">\n                                                        <article class=\"rt-posters-reco__item\">\n                                                    <a class=\"rt-posters-reco__image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingposters.com\/27-affiche-la-provence-champs-de-lavande.html\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                                <img\n                                    class=\"rt-posters-reco__image\"\n                                    src=\"https:\/\/www.rollingposters.com\/286-medium_default\/affiche-la-provence-champs-de-lavande.webp\"\n                                    alt=\"Affiche La Provence - Champs de Lavande\"\n                                    loading=\"lazy\"\n                                    decoding=\"async\"\n                                >\n                            <\/a>\n                            <a class=\"rt-posters-reco__product-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingposters.com\/27-affiche-la-provence-champs-de-lavande.html\">\n                                Affiche La Provence - Champs de Lavande                            <\/a>\n                                            <\/article>\n                                                        <article class=\"rt-posters-reco__item\">\n                                                    <a class=\"rt-posters-reco__image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingposters.com\/11-affiche-les-baux-de-provence-ruelle-ensoleillee.html\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                                <img\n                                    class=\"rt-posters-reco__image\"\n                                    src=\"https:\/\/www.rollingposters.com\/218-medium_default\/affiche-les-baux-de-provence-ruelle-ensoleillee.webp\"\n                                    alt=\"Affiche Les Baux-de-Provence -  Ruelle Ensoleill\u00e9e\"\n                                    loading=\"lazy\"\n                                    decoding=\"async\"\n                                >\n                            <\/a>\n                            <a class=\"rt-posters-reco__product-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingposters.com\/11-affiche-les-baux-de-provence-ruelle-ensoleillee.html\">\n                                Affiche Les Baux-de-Provence -  Ruelle Ensoleill\u00e9e                            <\/a>\n                                            <\/article>\n                            <\/div>\n                    <\/section>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Marseille soap, in the kitchen and the bathroom<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A big green cube of olive oil Marseille soap on a terracotta dish by the sink: it is useful, pretty and smells of holiday homes. The Marius Fabre soap works, founded in 1900 in Salon-de-Provence, has seen generations of soap makers work at its cauldrons. Tuck a bar of soap into each wardrobe to scent the linen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large rpa-pd\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rollingposters.com\/roadbook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/marius-fabre-cube-de-savon-de-marseille-vert-a-lhuile-dolive-grave-savon-de-marseille.jpg\" alt=\"Green cube of olive oil Marseille soap stamped Savon de Marseille\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The cube of olive oil Marseille soap (photo: Marius Fabre)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Earthenware, pottery and santons<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Faience from Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, green and yellow glazed pottery, earthenware dishes from Vallauris: Proven\u00e7al tableware is meant to be hunted down and mixed. And as Christmas approaches, the Proven\u00e7al nativity scene takes its place on the mantelpiece with its santons, small painted clay figurines. In Arles, a UNESCO World Heritage city, you will find many santonniers, the makers of these figurines, in its stone streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Posters of places in the South of France<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A hilltop village, a cove in Marseille, the gardians of the Camargue or a beach on Porquerolles: a poster brings back the light of the South every day. Choose the place of your yearly holidays or your family home, and group two or three posters of the same region in a hallway or above a sideboard.<\/p>\n\n\n<section class=\"rt-posters-reco\">\n                            <h2 class=\"rt-posters-reco__title\">Marseille, the Camargue and Porquerolles<\/h2>\n                        <div class=\"rt-posters-reco__grid\">\n                                                        <article class=\"rt-posters-reco__item\">\n                                                    <a class=\"rt-posters-reco__image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingposters.com\/56-affiche-marseille-vallon-des-auffes.html\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                                <img\n                                    class=\"rt-posters-reco__image\"\n                                    src=\"https:\/\/www.rollingposters.com\/565-medium_default\/affiche-marseille-vallon-des-auffes.webp\"\n                                    alt=\"Affiche Marseille - Vallon des Auffes\"\n                                    loading=\"lazy\"\n                                    decoding=\"async\"\n                                >\n                            <\/a>\n                            <a class=\"rt-posters-reco__product-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingposters.com\/56-affiche-marseille-vallon-des-auffes.html\">\n                                Affiche Marseille - Vallon des Auffes                            <\/a>\n                                            <\/article>\n                                                        <article class=\"rt-posters-reco__item\">\n                                                    <a class=\"rt-posters-reco__image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingposters.com\/24-affiche-la-camargue-les-gardians.html\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                                <img\n                                    class=\"rt-posters-reco__image\"\n                                    src=\"https:\/\/www.rollingposters.com\/259-medium_default\/affiche-la-camargue-les-gardians.webp\"\n                                    alt=\"Affiche La Camargue - Les gardians\"\n                                    loading=\"lazy\"\n                                    decoding=\"async\"\n                                >\n                            <\/a>\n                            <a class=\"rt-posters-reco__product-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingposters.com\/24-affiche-la-camargue-les-gardians.html\">\n                                Affiche La Camargue - Les gardians                            <\/a>\n                                            <\/article>\n                                                        <article class=\"rt-posters-reco__item\">\n                                                    <a class=\"rt-posters-reco__image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingposters.com\/65-affiche-porquerolles-baignade.html\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                                <img\n                                    class=\"rt-posters-reco__image\"\n                                    src=\"https:\/\/www.rollingposters.com\/658-medium_default\/affiche-porquerolles-baignade.webp\"\n                                    alt=\"Affiche Porquerolles - Baignade\"\n                                    loading=\"lazy\"\n                                    decoding=\"async\"\n                                >\n                            <\/a>\n                            <a class=\"rt-posters-reco__product-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingposters.com\/65-affiche-porquerolles-baignade.html\">\n                                Affiche Porquerolles - Baignade                            <\/a>\n                                            <\/article>\n                            <\/div>\n                    <\/section>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A summer table under the olive tree<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Proven\u00e7al life happens outdoors: a wooden table under a pergola, mismatched chairs, a printed tablecloth, a carafe of cool water and an olive tree in a pot.

They sit on a base of limewashed walls, with a touch of sunshine yellow in the fabrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do you create a modern Proven\u00e7al look?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep the walls light and the furniture simple, then add a few Proven\u00e7al pieces: a printed tablecloth, a terracotta jar, a bunch of lavender, a straw-seated chair and a poster of a southern landscape. A single antique piece is enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What furniture suits a Proven\u00e7al home?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fruitwood or walnut furniture, often weathered or painted: a low sideboard, a wedding wardrobe, a paneti\u00e8re bread cabinet, a farmhouse table, straw-seated chairs and a few wrought iron pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which poster suits Proven\u00e7al decor?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A poster of lavender fields, the ochres of Roussillon, a hilltop village like Les Baux-de-Provence, Marseille, the Camargue or Porquerolles. In A3 (\u20ac24) for a living room, in A4 (\u20ac19) or A5 (\u20ac15) for a hallway or a kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A little sunshine, all year round<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Proven\u00e7al home does not need to be in the Luberon: an ochre wall, a bunch of lavender and a table where you take your time are all it takes.
