The Chinoiserie Bathroom

Scott Meacham Wood - House Beautiful

 

Here is wonderful inspiration for packing a whole lot of blue and white chinoiserie into a tiny bathroom. This bath has a Nantucket vibe as well with its blue and white stripes. I love the classic backdrop of black and white tiles.

The Red & Pink Chinoiserie Dining Room

House Beautiful

 

I was thinking yesterday about upcoming posts for Valentine's Day. I came across this chinoiserie dining room in pink and red that I posted on several years ago. The room was featured in the December/January 2014 issue of House Beautiful. Such pretty Valentine's Day inspiration.

Blue & Green

Elizabeth Graves Interior Design

I love blue and green together and this is a lovely example. Chinoiserie wallpaper is in green and white. Blue silk taffeta curtains are trimmed in Samuel & Sons.

Yellow & Chinoiserie

Mackenzie Page Interiors

 

This beautiful vignette features Scalamandre's Blossom Chinoiserie Mural and a wonderful tufted and scalloped curved settee with fringe trim.

The Chinoiserie Basket & More

Havenview Printed Basket

 

I love a great basket and this is one of the prettiest I have seen. Use it in a bedroom for throw blankets or pillows, a bathroom or powder room for toilet paper, a nursery for stuffed animals - so many possibilities.  This reminds me so much of de Gournay or Gracie wallpaper designs.

The Chinoiserie Entryway

Honey Collins Interiors

 

A wonderful chinoiserie entryway featuring chinoiserie wallpaper from Gracie Studio, a pair of velvet slipper chairs from Billy Baldwin Studio upholstered in Pierre Frey and trimmed in Houles, a Bunny Williams Home table, a rug from The Rug Company, and an antique lantern from Parc Monseau in Atlanta. I especially love the pops of coral and red.

The Chinoiserie Bedroom

Ashley Hanley - Southern Home

 

Such a stunning space featuring Schumacher's Madame de Pompadour wallpaper, wicker, and a blue and white ginger jar. This is the master bedroom of a home on the James River in Williamsburg, Virginia.

The Chinoiserie Bedroom

Shelley Johnstone - Frederic Magazine

 

This is another lovely room in interior designer Shelley Johnstone's Naples, Florida condo - the master bedroom. We previously looked at the dining room. I find it both beautiful and instructive on how to create a chinoiserie bedroom that is classic yet modern. Let's look at some of the elements.

Patterns abound here - I count five that we can see in this shot alone. What makes it work is that the color palette is soft and harmonious and the patterns are largely chinoiserie florals making it feel like a garden. 

I see the Rattan book on the side table - I just bought that for myself. Can you make out any other titles on her bedside table? LOL. I love peeking at what books people have. Here it is on my vintage wicker elephant in my foyer.

The Chinoiserie Living Room

Ruthie Sommers

 

A very pretty and dramatic living room by Ruthie Sommers with Gracie chinoiserie wallpaper in "Antique Peony," a curved pink velvet sofa, ruffle trimmed curtains (very Miles Redd), striped slipper chairs, and a real statement rug. Not sure about the "coffee table" choice here, but I like the bold mixing of patterns - go bold or go home.

The Chinoiserie Bedroom

Mario Buatta

This bedroom is such perfection - a palette of pink and green, a canopy bed, Gracie chinoiserie wallpaper, a faux bamboo bench, a pink ceiling, a slipper chair, beautiful linens, and sconces. Look at the detailing on the canopy bed - silver leaf detailing, wooden tassels, a gorgeous pink canopy crown, and the canopy top wrapped in raffia. 
 

The bed was designed by Buatta. This NYC duplex was his final project.

Vintage Miles Redd

Miles Redd

 This Miles Redd room is from many years back when he was first on everyone's radar screen. It was even pre his ruffled curtain fixation - LOL. I love emerald green silk curtains - I miss mine that were in my previous dining room. I can't tell if these have trim or a very small ruffle, but they are very pretty. I love the Chinese Chippendale chairs, leopard cushions, Chinoiserie wallpaper, and a vintage suzani used as a tablecloth. A lovely room.

I have been looking for a blue and white tablecloth for my breakfast room Platner table to use on and off. A vintage blue and white suzani would be perfect if I can find one in the right size. I'll see what I can find.
