Could I be any more in love with this bedroom? Quadrille Lyford Background headboards and bedskirts, pink and green, a pagoda mirror, Greek key pillows, a double gourd lamp, a rattan dresser, white bedding, pink lilies, and blanc de Chine. Perfect.

This chair by Sarah Richardson is upholstered in China Seas Lyford Background in Magenta on White.

The Orange Pagoda Bedroom

I love this bedroom from Coastal Living - orange, grasscloth walls, crisp white linens, a padded headboard, and best of all - pagoda fabric - this is China Seas Lyford Background in New Shrimp on White - one of my favorite fabrics of all time.

Saturday Inspiration

In this lovely bedroom featured in Veranda, Andrew Raquet uses a favorite fabric of mine for the draperies, China Seas for Quadrille Lyford Background in Magenta on White. You may recall that my favorite Chinoiserie dining room is by Andrew Raquet where he used Alan Campbell for Quadrille Meloire Reverse.

Pagoda Headboard

This headboard would be absolutely amazing reupholstered in one of our favorite Chinoiserie fabrics. Available on Etsy from LIVvintage here. I'm thinking Quadrille's Paradise Background or China Seas Lyford Background would be wonderful. Any other ideas? (Update-it sold!)

Honey Collins Orange Chinoserie

Love orange? Then I think you'll love this room by interior designer Honey Collins with its orange gourd lamps, orange Chinese Chippendale chair, and her use of one of our favorite fabrics-Quadrille China Seas Lyford Background in New Shrimp on White.

Tom Scheerer's Beachy Chinoiserie

If you like your Chinoiserie light and modern with a beachy feel, you'll love Tom Scheerer. He describes his style as fresh, civilized, beautiful, and unpretentious. I know everyone will recognize the Quadrille China Seas Lyford Trellis wallpaper and Lyford Background fabric in these photos.

The Top Chinoiserie Fabrics #4 & #5

Two of my very favorite Chinoiserie fabrics are Quadrille's Paradise Background and their China Seas Collection Lyford Background. They take their place on my list of the best Chinoiserie fabrics. Many bloggers and even interior designers confuse the two patterns, which are quite close. I was thrilled to get the Paradise Background in Raspberry on Tint pictured above from Shannon Darby of Pink Wallpaper on Tuesday from her online shop The Designer's Attic. My Chinoiserie fabric stash runneth over! Below are wonderful examples of how designers use these fabrics as well as all the colorways of each so that you will be able to distinguish the two. No matter how these patterns are used-pillows, a headboard, window treatments, a tablecloth, or chairs, they instantly become the focal point of a room.
