Blue and White Chinoiserie

U.K. House & Garden

Here is a charming blue and white vignette, very British with its blue and white Chinese umbrella stand, blue and white striped umbrella, and blue and white floral festoon/balloon shade. I have always loved this window treatment and it has never gone out of style in England, although here the roman shade is considered more modern. The black and gold Chinese lamps and black and gold mirror ground the space.

The Balloon Shade

Last week I did a post showing a Chinoiserie balloon shade that elicited strong reactions both for and against its use in interior design today. I personally love a beautifully done balloon curtain and its variations like the London shade. I thought I would post a few more favorites, many combined with Chinoiserie.
