Window to Provence: How to Decorate PVC Windows in French Country Style

PVC windows are a practical solution, but in a Provence‑style interior, they can look too modern. The goal is to soften their minimalism and add that authentic “country” warmth.

Your main ally is textiles made from natural fabrics — linen, cotton, or calico. Choose pastel shades like lavender, dusty pink, olive, and cream, along with subtle prints: small checks, stripes, or floral patterns reminiscent of toile de Jouy. Light curtains with soft pleats and tiebacks in the form of bows or braided cords instantly set the right mood. For a layered look, combine sheer tulle with slightly heavier drapes — this makes the composition more nuanced and cozy.

Roman or roller blinds made from linen‑like fabric are a great option: they’re simple, functional, and fit well with the Provence aesthetic. If you want a touch of vintage charm, add lace trim or decorative pom‑poms.

Opt for simple curtain rods: wooden ones or metal ones with a matte, slightly aged finish. Delicate wrought‑iron elements are acceptable as long as they aren’t too bulky.

Decorative trims for the window reveals that mimic wood or elegant, light‑colored molding work as lovely accents — they visually frame the window and integrate it into the overall style. Finally, fresh flowers on the windowsill or a planter with lavender will complete the look, giving the interior a true Provence vibe.
