It's summer. Perhaps you have a beach house or would like to give your home a summer beach house look? I have coined the term Coastal Chinoiserie for a more sophisticated summer beach house style. Here are some of its key elements -
*Blue and white
*Pops of coral if you like
*Stripes
*Sisal, jute, or sea grass rugs
*Chinese Chippendale
*Faux Bamboo
*Blue and white Chinese porcelain
*Chinese garden stools
*Rattan
*Greek key
For lots more inspiration, here is a post I did for Linda at Calling It Home on Nantucket Chinoiserie Chic and my Pinterest board on Coastal Chinoiserie here.
Love these images Beth, the last bedroom is a wow!

To this day, everyone still loves that Nantucket Chinoiserie post of yours. I think Coastal Chinoiserie is the perfect name for the CC look at the shore.

ReplyDeleteLove, love it all. Nothing prettier than a room that is done in BEACH ELEGANCE as I like to call it. I have a pinboard on this very subject.
