Setting the Thanksgiving Table

Tory Burch

This beautiful Thanksgiving table setting by Tory Burch has lots of great ideas to borrow. The color palette is orange and purple with hot pink. Chinoiserie touches include Imari vases filled with fresh flowers and berries and pewter bamboo flatware. Tealights are a pretty alternative to candlesticks and nice and low so as to not block your view of others at the table.

Pink for the Holidays

Pink Tweed Dress

I love pink in interior design and in fashion. Red is of course traditional for the holidays, but pink is a wonderful alternative. Both blush pink and hot pink are also very flattering on virtually anyone. 

*Pair it with black accessories for a very classic Audrey Hepburn vibe.

*Choose gold accessories for a dressy holiday look. 

*Pink paired with brown or camel accessories would be very pretty for Thanksgiving.

Preppy Chinoiserie Poolside

One Kings Lane

Chinese Chippendale rattan, leopard pillows, and a palette of blue and white with pops of hot pink create a very chic poolside retreat.

The Blue Octagon

If you own or happen upon a vintage rattan etagere, paint it a great color like hot pink, emerald green,  Hermes orange, or navy blue.

A Chinoiserie New Year's Eve

One of my favorite ideas for New Year's Eve entertaining - individual mini Champagne bottles. These in hot pink with navy and white straws would be fabulous with blue and white Chinese porcelain.

Blue and White Plus Hot Pink

Society Social's Ming Grasscloth Console beautifully styled with a gold faux bamboo lamp and hot pink touches. I love the blue and white floral wallpaper.

The Chinoiserie Bar Cart

This bar cart is from Society Social but this great hot pink color would be fabulous on a vintage rattan bar cart as well.

Wing chairs upholstered in a favorite fabric of mine - Brunschwig & Fils Les Touches with a blue and white Chinese porcelain lamp and a pop of pink peonies.

A Chinoiserie Christmas - Day 9

Grant Gibson - Elle Decor

I am not a fan of red and green for Christmas decorating whereas I adore pink and green. I love the idea of combining malachite and hot pink for my dinner table. I would use one of my Chinoiserie china patterns instead of black and white. These are my two formal china patterns from my wedding registry. Either would be beautiful as would a blue and white Chinoiserie china.

A Chinoiserie Thanksgiving

Tory Burch

A palette of orange, purple, and hot pink is a lovely choice for the Thanksgiving table. Imari vases are filled with fresh flowers and berries. I have these same salt and pepper shakers. I'll have to dig them out.

Clarence House The Vase

Clarence House The Vase by David Hicks is an iconic Chinoiserie pattern, and has been a favorite of interior designers and myself for years. You most often see it in blue and white. A few years ago Clarence House broadened the colorways to include pastels and such, but generally muted colors that did not blow me away. I thought they had missed the mark on today's modern approach to Chinoiserie with saturated pastels.

They have now expanded their offerings to include 8 bold new wallpaper colors like this hot pink, orange, and lime green.

I am really looking forward to seeing these bright colors featured in rooms. They would be fantastic in smaller spaces like powder rooms in particular.

Check out this inspired idea. Paint the edge of a door with a pop of color - here a fluorescent hot pink, a great contrast to this pale blue, white, and gold Chinoiserie bedroom.

Christmas Chez Chinoiserie Chic 2

My holiday house tour continues today with the kitchen.

My kitchen gets decorated for Christmas with pops of hot pink including a hot pink feather wreath on the kitchen door, a pair of hot pink nutcrackers, and a hot pink patent serving tray from the now defunct Charlotte Moss shop in NYC. The silver Chinese Chippendale mugs are filled with candy canes. The pink cachepot is from Dana Gibson.
