Black and Blue

via The Decorista
I love the pops of blue - the pair of gilded Bergere chairs upholstered in velvet, the oversized statement lamp, and the pair of large foo dogs.

Sunday Inspiration

One Kings Lane
Beat the winter blues with citrus trees in blue and white Chinese porcelain containers. The keys to success are daily misting for humidity and lots of direct sun. Bring them outdoors in the summer.

Greek Key

Palmer Weiss
The Greek key trim on the roman shades is such a nice detail in this child's room by Palmer Weiss. The color palette of blue, orange, and white is a modern and gender neutral choice.

A Classic Modern Living Room

Williams-Sonoma Home
Here neutral walls, slipper chairs, x benches, rug, and chandelier get a great dose of Chinoiserie with a blue and white garden stool, blue and white Chinese porcelain, and a black lacquered coffee table.

A Gray Chinoiserie Foyer

New England Home
Gray Chinoiserie wallpaper is such an elegant and sophisticated choice in this traditional foyer. I love the use of a klismos chair - this style works so well with Chinoiserie.

Gray Walls or Wallpaper?

Traditional Home
When I was looking for pictures for my series on gray and Chinoiserie from my Pinterest boards and Pinterest, I discovered these. I suspect that the wallpaper company photoshopped the wallpaper in as the two shots are identical. But it is quite interesting to see the difference between the walls painted gray and wallpapered in a gray Chinoiserie paper. Which one do you prefer?

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.
