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.

    I agree....love oversized ginger jars just about anywhere, they add instant elegance and a bit of drama to whatever space they are used!

    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.
