French Provencal Kitchen

Located in Southern France, the region of Provence has a perfect, Mediterranean climate with sunny, dry summers and mild winters. With its many rivers, highest peaks, and location adjacent the Mediterranean Sea, Provence is a perfect vacation spot. Luxurious villas touting traditional architecture and ambiance dot the area. The landscape is timeless and the view is breathtaking. This region of France is hard to leave and even more difficult to forget.

Today’s Kitchens make it possible to take Provence home with you with the French Provencal traditional kitchen style. The custom cabinets and rustic design are reminiscent of the quaint country homes. The colors of this style mimic the hues found in nature. Sunflower and lavender are abundant in landscapes in southern France. The garrigue landscape supports plants such as sage, rosemary, and wild thyme, as they are able to thrive in the limestone soils of the region. With aromatic spices so readily available, it is no wonder that such fine food emerges from the area. Unlike typical French food, Provence cuisine has both Greek and Italian influences with a focus on olive oil, herbs, and tomatoes.

The French Provencal classic kitchen is the perfect place to recreate those Mediterranean style dishes so prominent in the Provence region. The distinct scents drifting from the pots on the stove will mesh flawlessly with the view of rustic textures and wood-carved natural motifs that are just some of the authentic features of this design. Well-built, beautiful cabinets and counters will complete your dream kitchen and bring a little piece of Provence to your house.
