The Chinoiserie Bedroom

Lauren Guarcello

A lovely Chinoiserie bedroom with a palette of chocolate brown, orange, white, and blue. Even the trim has been painted a dark brown. A perfect color scheme for a master bedroom - bold and beautiful, but definitely not too feminine. The Chinoiserie toile is Quadrille/China Seas Lyford Print in Blue on Tint.

Barry Dixon & Lyford Print

With summer here soon, I had to show you this island home near Palm Beach by Virginia interior designer Barry Dixon. This Florida home was originally featured in the June 2008 Metropolitan Home RIP. I of course love the Chinoiserie master bedroom with its exuberant use of China Seas for Quadrille Lyford Print. I also think the color palette in the home of pale aquas, sea greens, and washed turquoises is quite lovely. I was especially taken with this quote by Mr. Dixon-"You're never left with the monotony of middle-of-the-road-purchases if you buy high and low." Amen.
