Lavender, a touch rather than a complete decor
You do not need to redo everything to give a room an air of Provence. A touch of lavender, well placed, is enough: a tea towel on the oven handle, a bouquet on the worktop, a ceramic object next to the sink. Here are a few simple ideas, designed for the kitchen, the room where you use them most.
The tea towel, a useful and decorative object
The tea towel suits this well: you use it every day and it is seen. Our tea towels are embroidered with a lavender motif and come in four colours: yellow, purple, grey and white. The purple one measures 60 x 40 cm.

A few simple ideas
Hang
On the oven handle, on a hook next to the sink, over the back of a kitchen chair: a hanging tea towel brings colour at eye level without cluttering the worktop.
Fold and lay down
Folded in three on a wooden worktop, next to a bowl or a small bouquet, it makes a discreet decor. The white tea towel goes with everything; the purple one works well with light ceramics.
Choosing a colour
- White: understated, it blends into a light kitchen and lets the embroidery stand out;
- Purple: it picks up the colour of lavender and makes more of a statement;
- Grey: neutral, it fits into a more contemporary kitchen;
- Yellow: brighter, it evokes the Provençal sun.
The ceramic sponge holder
Next to the sink, a white ceramic sponge holder decorated with a hand-painted lavender motif makes an everyday object more pleasant to look at. Our gift set brings together the sponge holder, a lavender-scented soap and a small lavender sachet, in knotted cellophane wrapping with a gift tag: it can be kept for yourself or given as it is. Ceramic is fragile: handle it with care and avoid knocks.
03 / Scent
Adding the scent
A lavender decor is better with its scent. A lavender sachet slipped into a drawer or hung near the spare tea towels discreetly scents the linen. To make its scent last, avoid leaving it in contact with water or humidity, which alters it, and gently crumple it from time to time to revive the diffusion.
Keeping it simple
Our advice: one colour, one object, one scent. Three touches of lavender in different shades end up scattering; a single one, well chosen, stands out.
