We are starting today a new series on Chinoiserie decorating questions that followers have submitted to me. I selected this topic submission because I find that most people and clients struggle with styling their mantel. I also think that most "rules" on decorating the mantel are nonsense and made to be broken - symmetrical or asymmetrical, simple or layered, formal or eclectic, a mirror or art - it's really all a matter of your style and having a good eye. Here are my tips for adding Chinoiserie style to your mantel.
1. Chinoiserie Wallpaper or Hand-painted Chinoiserie Mural
2. A Pair of Ginger Jars
3. Foo Dogs
4. Pagodas
5. Chinoiserie on the Floor/Hearth
6. Chinoiserie Mantels -
7. Blue and White Chinese Porcelain
8. A Collection of Monochromatic Chinese Vases -
Beautiful images, thanks!
