As Seen In: Provincial Style - Country Style Feb 2025

French Knot is delighted to share that our classic green cabbageware plates have been featured in the February 2025 issue of Country Style magazine. Captured so beautifully by the talented photographer Abbie Melle, the feature highlights the warm, layered aesthetic of interior designer Georgia Boyd's provincial-inspired home.

This spread celebrates everything we love about Provincial style - timeless European elegance blended with homely comfort.

At the centre of the feature are Georgia's thoughtful interiors, where natural textures, layered pattern, and hand-finished details combine to create a welcoming, lived-in atmosphere.

Provincial Elegance with Everyday Practicality

The feature draws your eye immediately to a striking display of cabbageware plates, mounted as a statement wall above a dining banquette. This choice sets the tone for the entire scheme: a celebration of craftsmanship, heritage, and storytelling through design. Provincial style thrives on classic forms, natural materials, and layered textures. Think antique wood tables, linen upholstery, hand-painted ceramics, and woven accents. It's a look that is sophisticated yet unpretentious - just as at home in the city as in a country farmhouse.

Classic Green Cabbageware

The green cabbageware plates have a long tradition in European households, where they were prized for their sculptural detail and ability to add vibrancy to a table setting. Their textured leaf patterns and deep, glossy glaze bring depth and artistry to any dining display. In Georgia's home, these pieces are styled both on the wall and at the table, reminding us that functional objects can also be works of art. Layered with glassware, napkins, and natural accents, the plates become the star of the dining room scene.

At French Knot, we carry a beautiful range of cabbageware dinnerware and serving pieces so you can recreate this timeless look in your own home.

Whether styled on your walls, as Georgia has done, or brought out for entertaining, they bring a sense of celebration to everyday dining.

How to Create the Look in Your Own Home

If you're inspired by the feature, here are some ways you can bring Provincial style into your own interiors.

Start with a Neutral Base

Provincial rooms often begin with calming neutrals - whites, soft creams, and pale greys on walls and larger furniture. This provides a perfect backdrop for layering colour and texture.

Add Statement Ceramics

Just as in Georgia's home, bold ceramics such as cabbageware plates, ginger jars, or decorative vases can anchor your decor. Arrange them on shelves, hang them as wall art, or use them in everyday dining.

Incorporate Natural Textures

Linen cushions, rattan trays, wicker lampshades, and wooden furniture all add a rustic yet refined feel. These details prevent the style from feeling too formal and bring warmth to the space.

Layer with Decorative Accents

Silver frames, small trinket boxes, and elegant candle holders add personality. In Provincial style, it's the mix of refined and rustic that creates interest.

Dress the Table

Provincial dining celebrates abundance and hospitality. Layer dinnerware with chargers, cloth napkins, and natural touches such as fresh greenery or flowers. Our collections of decorative jugs, dinnerware, and coasters offer the perfect finishing touches.
