Chinoiserie in Paris

Lee Radziwill's Paris Apartment 

In honor of the Olympics in Paris, I thought I would post about my favorite Paris apartment. This was the Parisian apartment of Lee Radziwill, sister of Jackie Kennedy and recently portrayed in the mini series Feud: Capote vs. The Swans.

Chinoiserie Island Inspiration

Amanda Lindroth

 

Amanda Lindroth has become my favorite interior designer since moving to Florida. Her style combines chinoiserie with a beachy island vibe that I adore. This vignette is a perfect case in point. 

Old School Chinoiserie

Lisa Henderson Interiors - Coastal Living

 

I think you will find this home quite interesting. This newly decorated Palm Beach townhome is featured in the Spring 2023 Coastal Living, but it looks like it could have been done anytime in the last forty years. This is an excellent example of timeless, old school chinoiserie with wonderful chinoiserie fabrics, color, wicker, blue and white Chinese porcelain, Chinese garden stools, grasscloth, all with a Florida vibe.

This sophisticated but fun daughter's bedroom in pink and green features two Quadrille patterns - Tulip Multicolor and Lyford Background. 

A Favorite Fabric Lookalike

Schumacher Chenonceau

A favorite fabric and wallpaper pattern of mine is Schumacher Chenonceau. This flora and fauna in silhouette is classic yet modern, simple but dramatic. The fabric is perfect for pillows, chair seats, curtains, or accessories.

Color & Pattern

Printfresh

If you are like me (and I'm guessing since you follow CC you are), and love color, pattern, and chinoiserie and tropical prints, you need to know about Printfresh, a favorite of mine. Their clothing line is the perfect sleepwear and loungewear, and I am hoping they expand into ready to wear - I wear one of their nightgowns as a sundress. Choose from robes, nightgowns, nightshirts, short sleep sets, long sleep sets, separates - whatever you style is. It is all incredibly comfortable. I especially love their nightshirts, robes, and short sleep sets.

Les Indiennes Multicolor

Meg Braff Designs - Flower Magazine

Such beautiful colors in this library by Meg Braff. The patterned fabric is a favorite of mine - Quadrille's Les Indiennes Multicolor. Notice in this room the Chinese Chippendale chair, blue and white Chinese porcelain, and Chinese lamp. I think this fabric works beautifully with chinoiserie.

Chinoiserie & Color

Pinterest

These showed up in my Pinterest feed and they are both such lovely examples of the beautiful colors of chinoiserie. The fabric above is a favorite of mine - Brunschwig & Fils Xian. These are the colors I love to live with.

New Fave Chinoiserie Fabric & Blogiversary Giveaway

Since I pinned this photo above and chair just below, I've been meaning to track down the fabric. I love it  - it reminds me of Clarence House's David Hicks The Vase a bit, but I think I will like the colorways even more. It turns out it is by a new company called Home Accents Fabrics by Ronnie Gold, a line of well-priced fabrics and it is called Cachepot. Calico Corners carries it here for $29.99 a yard, and I suspect we will begin finding it online for even less. I'm not sure about all the colorways - I have shown what I have found so far on this fabric.

Most of my favorite Chinoiserie fabrics have been around for quite a while. This is a new Chinoiserie winner in my book. What do you think, isn't it yummy? This week I will also feature another new Chinoiserie fabric I've become smitten with. Have you entered my blogiversary giveaway here?
