Scale


We all know that scale is an important element in interior design. In decorating with Chinoiserie, I am especially fond of using oversized ginger jars to great dramatic effect. Here are some excellent examples like the desk with large ginger jar by Benjamin Dhong pictured above.

  4. You cannot go wrong with ginger jars, great or small. But I must agree that, in this case, bigger IS more beautiful.

    Also, love just about any design from Mary McDonald. She has such flair.
