The Chinoiserie Garden Entryway

Mark D.Sikes - his book Beautiful

A stunning garden filled foyer features the wallpaper Schumacher Zanzibar Trellis in Winter Mint, a wonderful black and white floor, a Jean - Michael Frank parchment table, and an ornate gold mirror. Chinoiserie touches include a blue and white Chinese lamp, a pair of blue and white Chinese garden stools, and a blue and white fern filled planter.

Sikes brings the garden indoors with tulips, a fern, and a massive moss topped basket with a large palm.

Saturday Inspiration - The Chinoiserie Foyer

Metric Builders

This lovely foyer is decorated with a pair of Chinoiserie murals, a pair of benches, and an enormous pair of blue and white ginger jars. Chinoiserie wallpaper can be seen beyond in the living room.

Such a perfect combination of blue and white, stripes, blue and white Chinese porcelain, a natural grass rug, brass, and a peek into the adjoining blue and white room.

Unicorns & Chinoiserie

I was looking for inspiration for an entryway and happened upon this amazing entrance hall. The magazine cover above is from The World of Interiors - December 2011. The same entrance hall below is from a French magazine from November of 2011.

Is it just the lighting, or hasn't the paint color changed? At any rate, it's quite fabulous. I love the unicorns, faux, I assume ;-), the chandelier, the pair of Chinoiserie chests, and pretty much everything. So fanciful!

Pink Chinoiserie Foyers

Don't you think there are too many names for foyers? A living room is a living room, a dining room a dining room, a kitchen a kitchen, but a foyer can be called a foyer or an entry or an entryway or an entrance or even an entrance hall if it is large enough.

Today our series on Pink and Valentine's Day continues with beautiful foyers that combine pink and Chinoiserie.

The Small Chinoiserie Entryway

Ashley Whittaker

 I am midway through my One Room Challenge laundry room makeover, and I should just be concentrating on it, but my mind it already wandering, thinking about what room in my house I will attack next. I have been thinking that my entryway could use some work. Why are there so many names for it - foyer, entry, entryway, entrance, entrance hall? Mine is definitely not an entrance hall - it is more like a postage stamp, with very high ceilings, but little floor space. These are some entryways with Chinoiserie that are small but loaded with style that are inspiring me. A great mirror and blue and white Chinese porcelain are musts. Stay tuned for this developing story.

More Miles Redd

A decidedly masculine take on Chinoiserie here by Miles Redd in this entryway with a pair of blue and white ginger jars, a blue and white Chinese garden stool, and a black Ming bench juxtaposed against classical elements and a boldly geometric painted floor.

The Chinoiserie Entry

Perfect for a small entryway - Chinoiserie on the table and underneath too! I can't get enough of orange and blue.

The Chinoiserie Entryway

Much like the living room I posted on earlier today, this neutral and traditional entryway is wonderful with the addition of Chinoiserie - the pair of blue and white Chinese porcelain vases, the pair of Clarence House Dragon Empress pillows, and the Chinese piece of art.

The Chinoiserie Entryway

Timothy Whealon

Do you call this room an entry, entryway, entrance, entrance hall, or foyer?
And what about coffee table or cocktail table?
Or couch versus sofa?
Curtains or draperies?
I thought about this yesterday when a blogger was talking about a powder bath which I had never heard for powder room.
I wonder if these different terms are regional?

A Chinoiserie Entryway

A pair of Chinese Chippendale chairs is an unexpectedly wonderful choice in this traditional entryway.

Blue and White Inspiration

My first purchase from The Pink Pagoda's new blue and white store will be this huge, gorgeous blue and white Chinese porcelain vase. Jennifer of The Pink Pagoda uses it in her own entrance hall as an umbrella stand. What about filling it with matching lime green or fuchsia umbrellas or antique walking sticks like Darryl Carter has done in his foyer in a blue and white Chinese vase?
