Gray Walls with Chinoiserie

Traditional Home
I love using soft gray walls as a background for Chinoiserie. Look how well these rooms work with gray painted walls as a foil for the Chinoiserie toile fabrics, blue and white Chinese porcelain, and Chinese antiques, and the way pink, blue and white, Chinese red, black, and turquoise blue all pop against it.

  5. It is such a beautiful wall color to pair with chinoiserie pieces! It allows them to really pop and be the focal point. - Anna, of Anna E. Lee - InteriorDesign (www.annaeleeinteriordesign.com)
