Saturday Inspiration - The Chinoiserie Living Room

Antonio Martins

A sophisticated living room with Chinoiserie - A Chinese cabinet, a Chinese calligraphy brush, and a pair of Asian figurines.

Styling

Steve Cordony

Chinoiserie abounds in this stylish vignette with a vintage rattan table, banana leaf wallpaper, Chinese calligraphy brush, and potted orchid. Framed photos, a stack of magazines, and a candle fill in this chic little spot.

Coffee Table Styling

Mandy Kellogg Rye - Waiting on Martha

A wonderfully styled coffee table with a cachepot from Dana Gibson, a collection of calligraphy brushes, and a favorite book of mine by Carolyne Roehm.

Styling with Calligraphy Brushes

Calligraphy brushes are a great way to add Chinoiserie Chic style to a space. Use one, a few, or a collection on a coffee table, entryway table, desk, even hung on the wall. Great ones can be found starting at about $20 up to $75 on Etsy, eBay, flea markets, and stores selling Asian wares.

Calligraphy Brushes

I am a collector of Chinese calligraphy brushes, but never thought of the idea of mounting them as wall decor, as Mary McDonald has done in this man's bedroom.
