It is well known that the Provencal style - the style with a romantic and bucolic air that the country houses in Provence have - is a quite popular with many. We are talking about objects and furniture with a deliberately aged look, natural wood and light, stippled colors, vintage handles and knobs and other additions that define this style.

In short, we are talking about a mix of styles (vintage, country and shabby chic) ​​that typically represents the Provencal style. This style is also easy to recreate using DIY, scrap wood and other recycled materials, such as pallets. All it takes is a little creativity.

In this regard, we show below some interesting ideas that could inspire you:

A raw wood frame that acts as a shelf, attached to the wall with a cord, is a first very unique piece. It can be made with four pieces of wood that can be recovered from just about anywhere.

Other objects in the Provencal style is to hang pieces of recovered wood to which glass jars are fixed, using a nail and cord, to act as flower boxes or candle holders.

The same thing can be done with individual strips of wood, joining them together vertically or horizontally. In this way you will get a sort of bulletin board on which you can attach your flower jars.

To the bulletin board made with scrap wood (and if you don't want flower pots), you can add other strips of wood as shelves to display your knick-knacks.

Even the bathroom can be pleasantly uplifted by the vintage style. Here too, you just need a few strips of rough-looking wood, a piece of an old ladder or a pallet. Using this wood, you can make cabinet to hang up to organize your bathroom accessories.

With the same technique and the same materials you can even decide to create a very original photo frame, adding your favorite photographic memories using with string and clothespegs.

A bulletin board made with the strips of wood joined together or with a piece from a pallet, can even act as a cup holder. Add some nails to hang them on and even the kitchen will get its own Provencal appeal.

Another type of cup holder shelf can be made using an old shutter. It is a rather unusual idea, but even more effective.

And with just a piece of reclaimed wood and wrought iron, you can make a wonderful coat hanger. By recovering old colored ceramic tiles, you could give it an even more scenographic and colorful touch.
