Curved Banquettes

Whether in a living room or dining room, I love this look of a curved banquette paired with Chinoiserie, as in these examples by Barrie Benson.

Chinoiserie Banquettes

I have always adored banquettes. Here are three stunning examples of how to incorporate Chinoiserie elements. This lovely banquette by Alessadra Branca above was featured in Southern Accents and is a home in Georgetown for those of you in the D.C. area like me. I love the color palette of yellow, celadon, and coral, the tufted banquette, the swing arm wall lamps, and the Chinese garden stool. Of course what makes this space are the Chinoiserie walls. The stunning room below, classic English decorating by Mario Buatta, brings in many Chinoiserie elements like the blue and white Chinese porcelain, orchid, gilt bamboo tables, and pillows. The green lacquered walls are gorgeous. The last elegant space by Alessandra Branca was featured in Elle Decor. She brings in many Chinoiserie pieces including the English Regency chair, porcelains, red, black, the black lacquer table, and the botanicals.
