Sunday Inspiration - Zebrine

House Beautiful - Ashley Whittaker

One of my favorite wallpapers is Zebrine by Rose Cumming. Ashley Whittaker uses it beautifully in this kitchen combined with a red pagoda lantern and yellow accents. For more Zebrine, check out my Pinterest board here.

Blue and White Suzani

Everyone loves blue bedrooms according to a poll by House Beautiful. This bedroom by Ashley Whittaker, from the September 2012 House Beautiful, combines Quadrille Suzani on the headboard and bed skirt, beautiful blue and white bedding, a glazed Chinese ceramic lamp, banded Roman shades, and lots of ice blue, my favorite blue. Has anybody seen a tutorial on creating a DIY mirrored chest using O'verlays?

Pink and Blue Chinoiserie

Joe Nye

 I absolutely adore the combination of pink and blue with Chinoiserie. Here are rooms that do it beautifully and some ideas for using this look in your own home. Note the use by many of the interior designers of gold, black, animal prints, and modern art to keep it formal and adult and not too twee.

Pink and Blue Chinoiserie

Ashley Whittaker

I have fallen in love with the combination of pink, blue, and Chinoiserie, as you have seen in my Chinoiserie Chic kitchen in the One Room Challenge. This stunning pink and blue Chinoiserie dining room is by Ashley Whittaker. Remember that you can always review all my One Room Challenge posts by clicking on the ORC button in my sidebar.

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.
