Perhaps my favorite Chinoiserie trend for 2017 is that we will be seeing a resurgence of layered traditional Chinoiserie.

Chinoiserie Trends 2017 - Green & White

Mallory Mathison - Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles

This wonderful dining room has many elements we will be seeing more of this year. First, as I featured in my Chinoiserie Trends for 2017, green will be big this year. 

Another Chinoiserie trend this year will be mixing white Chinese porcelain, with blue and white Chinese porcelain, or as here with Celadon.

Chinoiserie Trends 2017 - Modern Mix

Veranda

We of course all love Chinoiserie in classic and traditional homes. But this year we will see Chinoiserie used in modern settings as well and the look is wonderful, adding warmth and elegance.

Chinoiserie Trends 2017 - The Black and White Checkerboard Floor

House Beautiful

The black and white checkerboard floor has always been a classic, formal but bold. It is wonderful with Chinoiserie and a popular choice this year. Here are some great examples.

Chinoiserie Trends 2017 - Mushroom

Alexa Hampton - Architectural Digest

Mushroom has emerged as a color trend for 2017 and I love it as a backdrop for Chinoiserie, especially blue and white Chinese porcelain. The hallway above is painted in a favorite color of mine, Benjamin Moore HC77 Alexandria Beige.

Here, from House Beautiful, are some paint colors to achieve this look.

One of my favorite combinations of all is green and Chinoiserie and this year green will be a very popular color indeed. From soft mint to deep forest green, 2017 is the year to go Green.

Chinoiserie Trends 2017 - Velvet

Robyn Karp

Velvet and Chinoiserie are a dream combination and will be a hot trend this year. For upholstered pieces, choose a low pile instead of plush for durability. My personal favorite is a velvet bench or stools, although sofas, pillows, and curtains are all great choices.

Chinoiserie Trends 2017 - Deep Gray

Windsor Smith

Gray in interior design has been hot for several years, and this trend will continue through 2017. I adore the combination of gray and Chinoiserie. What is new is that we will be seeing more of deep grays - think pewter hues, paired with Chinoiserie.

Chinoiserie Trends 2017 - The Laundry Room

Kevin Walsh

The laundry room will continue to be a hot trend in 2017, with more and more homebuyers putting a great laundry room on their must have list. Laundry rooms, far from being purely utilitarian, are getting more and more decorated, with beautiful wallpaper, lighting, and furnishings.

Chinoiserie, especially blue and white, is a perfect choice, giving a laundry room a fresh and clean vibe. Blue and white wallpaper is a natural choice, as are blue and white accessories.

Chinoiserie Trends 2017 - Blue and White Chinese Porcelain

via Patterson Maker Miller

Have no fear - blue and white Chinese porcelain is not missing a step in 2017 and will continue to be as strong as ever, if not more so. What is new is styling blue and white Chinese porcelain in a more modern way. Instead of in formal pairs on a mantel or sideboard, we will be seeing more blue and white collections as shown in these vignettes with an informal and eclectic style - think unique art, framed photographs, books, one of a kind pieces as opposed to in pairs. Have fun  - all blue and white Chinese porcelain looks great together whatever the hue, size, or shape.

Chinoiserie Trends 2017 - Yellow

Elle Decor - yellow Chinese Chippendale chairs

Today I am launching my picks for what will be hot in Chinoiserie in 2017. My first trend is yellow. Yellow is a classic color in Chinese culture conveying divinity, happiness, and success. It is a happy and optimistic color. A pop or two of yellow Chinoiserie is a great way to perk up any room. Here are some great ideas - above  - Chinese Chippendale chairs lacquered in yellow.
