Lucite & Chinoiserie

Neiman Marcus
Lucite and Chinoiserie go so well together - here is a great combination of black walls, lucite console, a wonderful pair of ginger jars, and some chic modern styling.

Blue and White Tablescape

Botticelli House

Blue and white Chinese porcelain looks so great grouped together and is even better with a pop of pink flowers.

The Chinoiserie Front Door

Kips Bay Show House
I love the idea of a high gloss blue for the front door. A nice preview perhaps of the blue and white Chinese porcelain inside. If you want this look use Fine Paints of Europe - Hollandlac Brilliant.

Gracie Chinoiserie wallpaper, a tulip table, and purple ikat chairs combine in this eclectic dining room. The Gracie wallpaper is used on just one accent wall.

I love the vintage Chinoiserie toast rack for letters. I use one in my powder room for guest towels.

Blue and White Chinoiserie

Source?
A stunning mix - I love the oversized ginger jars, the suzani curtains, the blue and white painted chairs with striped cushions, the Chinoiserie chest, and of course, the blue and white walls. A lot of pattern, but it all works beautifully.

Fabric as Wallpaper

Megan Rice Yager
Yager used Scalamandre Shanghai fabric on the upper wall and trimmed it in red gimp. Upholstering a wall is also great for acoustics. The lamp is by Christopher Spitzmiller.

Chinoiserie Houseplants

Mark D. Sikes
I am not a fan of house plants at all, but the two exceptions are potted orchids and a tree potted in a blue and white fish bowl. The photo above has beautiful examples of both.
