The Petite Entryway

Emily A. Clark

This is an example of a tiny entryway with lots of style. I love the antelope runner, trellis wallpaper, abstract art, and of course, the blue and white Chinese porcelain.

Lots of favorites here - dark walls, antelope carpet, a dramatic white pagoda mirror, pops of orange, and a wonderful vintage camel stool.

120 Items Every Beautiful Home Should Have - #18

House Beautiful

If you have been following along with our list of House Beautiful's list of must haves for the beautiful home vis a vis Chinoiserie, we are up to number 18, the Stark antelope runner.

Animal prints like leopard are a classic to combine with Chinoiserie and antelope works equally well but with a more modern and fresh vibe. Here are more examples -

Trending - Antelope and Inspiration Board


Antelope has gotten hot, hot, hot as an alternative to leopard and zebra. Although some have dismissed it as trendy, I think it a new classic, here to stay, and I love it. The conventional wisdom is that it is best used in neutral (to me, boring) rooms where it takes center stage. No! It is far more neutral than leopard and zebra and they all work beautifully with color and with Chinoiserie.

In my inspiration board, I have paired it with Thibaut's cheetah wallpaper. Are they natural enemies? Not in this chic entryway with its gold leaf Greek key console, pagoda lamps, and gold twig mirror, all beautiful finds from Charlotte & Ivy.

I envision using the antelope as a rug in the foyer and then on the stairs as a runner. It is also wonderful as a rug or as wall to wall in a living room, dining room, hallway, or bedroom. It hides dirt very well. Sources include Stark (above), Karastan, Couristan, and Glen Eden.

Want more inspiration? - here is my Pinterest board on Antelope.
