The Chinoiserie Kitchen

Alexander Interiors


This classic white kitchen goes Chinoiserie Chic with Chinese Chippendale rattan counter chairs and a blue and white Chinese porcelain vase. I love the green island.

  1. Ditto on the green island. Would love to know the color name.

    1. The interior designer has been asked the color name a hundred times as least on Instagram and has never answered as far as I can find. Many designers act like paint colors are a trade secret. I find that bizarre.

  2. It looks just like other photos I have seen of furniture with Fusion Mineral paint's Park Bench but with a darker wax on top.

  3. That's pretty perfect in my book.
    Great island color that connects to the window shade, wonderful bouquet of orange stems with green leaves in a blue and white porcelain jar, and of course, the chairs.

    What I love is the restraint. They could have gone overboard with blue and white porcelain, pagodas and what nots...glad they held back.

  4. Yea! We are back to "normal". After the kitchen photo from the other day, that was hideous, this is so nice!

    1. LOL - that was too unbelievable not to share and she probably spent a fortune on it.

  5. This is so pretty. The oranges in the blue and white vase really is the match that lights the fire, like lipstick on a perfectly made up face.

  6. I love this kitchen. I love the green island, the chairs, the oranges that play off the blue and white porcelain all set against the crisp white. Perfect!

  7. Love the use of colors, especially the orange. Oranges and tangerines are auspicious in Chinese culture representing good fortune. We are everywhere during Lunar New Year.

  8. A truly pretty kitchen, where one can actually cook and live. I love the green and white. So fresh and clean. Just the right amount of Chinoiserie.
