Blue and white ikat and chinoiserie are a wonderful combination. Above is a rare Schumacher ikat ginger jar along with matching ikat china in my lanai at CCC.
Combining the structured elegance of chinoiserie with the earthy, soft lines of ikat creates a "global chic" aesthetic. The structured beauty of chinoiserie balances the relaxed, blurred lines of ikat, especially when tying both together using a cohesive color palette (like classic blue and white).
Most ikat you find will be textiles that pair beautifully with chinoiserie like blue and white Chinese porcelain. Here are some lovely blue and white ikat options -
Pair ikat table linens with these wonderful Beatriz Ball melamine salad plates that I just ordered. These will coordinate beautifully with my blue and white ikat china -
True confession: I found two beautiful blue Ikat shower curtains at Target that drape perfectly over my patio tables. They’re sturdy and washable cotton, and nobody ever notices the buttonholes because I always put that end where I sit. I use a solid tablecloth underneath, depending on the season. Lovely. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. The "tablecloth" you see in the top picture is a Ralph Lauren queen size duvet cover.
