Enveloped in Chinoiserie

John Fondas - House Beautiful

 Several followers commented and emailed wanting to see more of the John Fondas space I included in yesterday's post seen below. The hall in a Palm Beach condo, it is enveloped in Quadrille's Lyford Trellis.

The photo above offers a peek into the room beyond filed with chinoiserie. 

The Chinoiserie Ceiling

Here is a creative idea - a Chinoiserie ceiling - it could be painted or wallpapered. This would be lovely in a powder room, foyer, or hallway.

Chinoiserie Chic Trends 2018

Amanda Lindroth

Another design trend for 2018 will be using wood, but in unexpected places. Here Amanda Lindroth uses mahogany kitchen countertops in a Chinoiserie infused kitchen with palm wallpaper and elephant accessories. The simple organic element of wood is a wonderful contrast to Chinoiserie. Here is another beautiful example of wood kitchen countertops with blue and white Chinese porcelain.

A wood beamed ceiling is a great juxtaposition in this living room filled with blue and white Chinese porcelain.

Teen Bedroom by Miles Redd

This teenager's bedroom by Miles Redd combines many of my favorites - blue and white, Greek key, a painted ceiling and striped walls for a perfect effect. This boy's bedroom will transition into a guest bedroom so easily.

Mary McDonald and the Painted Ceiling

Mary McDonald is another interior designer who likes to use color on the ceiling.

Ruthie Sommers

Red walls and a canary yellow ceiling give this room by Ruthie Sommers a Chinoiserie vibe, even though it does not have Chinoiserie decor. What a fearless use of color in this study in Ruthie's own home.
