A Dream Chinoiserie Bathroom

Laney LA

 

This is absolutely my dream bathroom featuring de Gournay Amazonia wallpaper. Amazonia is a contemporary interpretation of an 18th Century chinoiserie design. The motif updates more traditional compositions of birds and flowers for a vivid tropical verdant rain forest variation, created in collaboration with Edgardo Osorio, founder and creative director of luxury footwear brand Aquazzura.

The Navy Chinoiserie Powder Room

Jenkins Baer Interiors

 

I love every single thing about this powder room. Gracie chinoiserie wallpaper, navy blue walls and woodwork, wainscoting, a sputnik chandelier, that herringbone floor!!!!, a gray dupioni silk roman shade, and that stunning sink are all wonderful. I am sending this to my daughter for her files. Their new Annapolis home is a Georgian Colonial and this powder room is a perfect mix of modern, mid century, and traditional. 

Do you have a favorite navy paint color? I don't know what was used here, but I always return to Benjamin Moore Hale Navy. It is such a classic, timeless color that works everywhere. A navy blue room is a perfect kickoff to the Memorial Day weekend.

I have a truckload of river rock coming tomorrow to refresh two of my large garden beds. My landscape refresh is in full gear and the garden is looking lovely.

Herringbone Floors

The Fox Group

I have always loved herringbone wood floors. There is a likelihood I will be putting in some flooring in the new house. If so, I would love any of these looks. I think it pairs beautifully with Chinoiserie. The bleached floors are a more casual beach look, while the dark are more classic and formal. I have a really good floor guy here who would love this project. Aren't these pretty?
