The Chinoiserie Bedroom

Paulo Moschino

A lovely blue and white bedroom with a dramatic pelmet half tester and a blue and white Chinese porcelain lamp that really pop against the dark walls.

Blue and White - A Different Look

When we think of blue and white rooms with Chinoiserie, we tend to think of rooms with white or light colored walls. These rooms reverse this, with dark walls, adding a moody sophistication.

Dark Glossy Walls and Chinoiserie

Diamond Baratta

I am a huge fan of rooms that combine dark glossy walls and Chinoiserie. If you favor pastels in furniture and accessories like I do, everything really pops against dark painted walls. I am especially drawn to aubergine and Prussian blue. I love the room above - traditional, but fun. Here are more examples below, all by Mario Buatta.
