More Styling the Chinoiserie Bar

Jamie Meares - I Suwanee

If you have a bar nook, why not wallpaper it as Jamie did here in her home with a great paper like Scalamandre Zebras wallpaper? A small amount of Chinoiserie wallpaper would do the trick with major impact. The pair of pagoda lamps and collection of small blue and white ginger jars add of course to the Chinoiserie styling.

Here is another great example with a kitchen bar nook wallpapered in banana leaf wallpaper.

Sunday Inspiration - The Small Chinoiserie Entryway

Not all of us have large entryways. Indeed, most of us in apartments, condos, townhouses, row houses, split foyers, split levels, and historic city homes have small foyers to decorate, or even just part of a wall dedicated to that purpose. Jamie Meares has outfitted this little space with style and Chinoiserie touches. I also love the tennis racquet and old walking stick. Here is more inspiration on my Pinterest board entitled "The Small Chinoiserie Entry."

Saturday Inspiration - Setting the Thanksgiving Table

Jamie Meares of Furbish is my kind of girl. Her idea of setting the table for Thanksgiving is pink and blue and lots of Chinoiserie - pink pagoda fabric, hot pink silk dupioni, blue and white Chinese porcelain, and elephant place cards. My daughter just got those darling gold polka dot napkins from Anthropologie. A harvest theme and fall colors are brought into the mix with mini pumpkins, gourds, ornamental eggplants (the mini pumpkins in the floral arrangement - usually available at Trader Joe's) and candy corn.

Styling the Chinoiserie Console 2

Another of Jamie Meares' wonderful versions of styling the console using many of our favorite elements here at Chinoiserie Chic.

The palette is pink and blue with touches of black and gold. I have an entire Pinterest board devoted to Pink and Blue Chinoiserie here.

The focal point is a fantastic coral pink faux bamboo mirror. Find my Pinterest board on Coral Pink and Chinoiserie here.

A pair of black gourd lamps anchor the arrangement and keep it from becoming too twee. Black is also picked up in the pair of black and white striped canisters. Find my Pinterest board on Stripes and Chinoiserie here.

My favorite touch is the iconic Harry Allen Pig Bank that I adore. I have one in gold and one in silver and a board on decorating with them here.

Another great tip is to pull books out of your book collection that pick up the colors you are using in your tablescape. I have boards on Chinoiserie Tablescapes here and Chinoiserie Books and Bookcases here.

Many of these items are available at Jamie's amazing shop Furbish. You can also follow me on Pinterest.

Sunday Inspiration - Styling the Chinoiserie Console

From the very talented Jamie Meares of Furbish, inspiration on styling the Chinoiserie console. Love the red, white and blue, the blue and white Chinese porcelain, the chevron tray, and the Moroccan rug. I have been looking for a room with Chinoiserie and a Moroccan rug and here it is.

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.

Sunday Inspiration

I'm crazy about this living room by Jamie Meares of Furbish from Lonny magazine. I especially love the use of color, the abstract modern art, the Chinese garden stools, the blue and white Chinese porcelain, the pink piping on the chairs, and the gold Harry Allen pig. These Harry Allen pig banks are multiplying at my house - I have one in gold, one in silver, gave one to my daughter in gold, and want another in pink. Are the ruffled curtains homage to Miles Redd? I have yet to embrace this look. I do love unlined curtains, but sans ruffles and in silk. Two rules here to follow - go BIG in art and in chandeliers for a wonderful sense of drama.

Spring has me in the mood for pink. I am working on an upcoming post with my fantasy pink Chinoiserie show house.

Chinoiserie Two Ways

I had to share with you how the oh so talented Jamie Meares of Furbish Studio and i suwannee styled these consoles in two different Chinoiserie ways over at Amber Interiors. I love her fresh, young, colorful, and fun approach to Chinoiserie Chic design. That girl has style. Do you have a favorite?
