Chinoiserie Halloween

Chinoiserie Wallpaper

We love wallpaper here at Chinoiserie Chic. Melissa Warner of Massucco Warner Miller converted the second bedroom in her rental apartment into an office. The mirrored sliding doors made the room feel too much like a bedroom. So she turned the doors around and wallpapered them in this dramatic paper-Osborne & Little's Hothouse in Arizona. When she moves out of this apartment, she simply turns the doors around and strips off the wallpaper. This is a wonderful idea for a rental for a Chinoiserie focal point at very little time or expense. You can see the entire apartment in the May issue of House Beautiful.

Children's Chinoiserie

Interior design for the nursery and child's room is finally coming into its own. People have at long last realized that children's rooms can reflect the style and quality of the rest of your home, but still be age appropriate. With its joyful and whimsical nature, Chinoiserie style is a natural. Pagodas, Chinoiserie toiles and wallpapers, faux bamboo chandeliers, singerie, monkeys, and elephants are all examples of Chinoiserie elements that will work perfectly. We will start with a look at some lovely examples by interior designers followed by some of my favorite sources. Above is a wonderful girl's bedroom by Ruthie Sommers.

Framed Chinoiserie Wall Panels in Rooms

We have been looking this week at beautiful examples of framed Chinoiserie wallpaper panels, antique, vintage, and new. Today we take a look at how to use them in rooms to create a wonderful focal point. Before leaving this mini series, we will give ideas in a post next week on budget DIY versions as well. Above is the living room of Suzanne Rheinstein.
