Lots of chinoiserie patterns (and other patterns) are going on here, but it all works, doesn't it? And I am generally not a fan of colored lampshades, but these green are quite fresh and lovely used here. The wallpaper is Schumacher.
Green shades are a nice touch of unexpected color. Also like the console, the mirror and the sconces. Lots to get inspired by.
What I would have loved to try here just for fun is: wire the wall sconces and put small green shades on them, and use the console surface to display varying height of live topiary in blue and white chinoiserie cachepots with a decorative darker bamboo box (color close to mirror) centered in the middle. Or a darker bamboo vessel of sorts filled with coral and large pink shells. A grown-up version of playing with doll houses and make-believe.
Classic, elegant, each element adding to the beauty. Screams spring!
ReplyDeleteI love these colors - so fresh!
DeleteLove everything about this...traditional, beautiful, restful, and not crazy with all kinds of colors.
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting because it has many colors, but very subtle and understated.
