The Blue and White Powder Room

Eileen Lane Design

 
Do you call this space a powder room, a powder bath, a half bath, or a guest bath? I wonder if this difference in terminology is regional? I have always used the term powder room. I love this one whatever you call it. The palm wallpaper and rattan mirror are wonderful. I am also a fan of the baskets with toilet paper and guest towels. Very nice touches for your guests.

The Chinoiserie Powder Room

Grapevine Interiors

 
A powder room is the perfect place to splurge without breaking the bank. It is my favorite place in the home to use a chinoiserie wallpaper. Usually not many rolls of wallpaper are required, especially where there is tile or wainscoting on the lower half of the walls, and just one or two fabulous monogrammed hand towels will make quite a statement.

The Blue and White Powder Room

Kara Miller Interiors

 

This wonderful powder room features one of my absolute favorite wallpapers - Quadrille Lyford Trellis. The bamboo and cane mirror is perfect. The hand soap looks like Nest's Ocean Mist and Sea Salt. The picture light style fixture is very chic.

 Perhaps my favorite element is the vintage Steve McQueen black and white photograph. BTW, using a framed photograph is a great way way to keep a room fresh and modern and edgy and not granny. The photographer was famed war photographer and photojournalist John Dominis for Look magazine.

A Chinoiserie Vignette

Mark Sikes

 Such a pretty vignette with its handpainted chinoiserie wallpaper, black and gold Chinese chest, a lovely floral arrangement, and that shell mirror. The mirror is sensational with its aged antique glass. I would love a beautiful antique shell piece for my home. Sanibel Island which is quite close by is known as one of the world's best shelling beaches.

Old School/Grandmillennial

Valentino - Architectural Digest

I have saved this photo of Valentino's chateau outside of Paris for ages and I found it this morning and still adore it. This is the winter garden. Check out this other shot below of the same room with that stunning English Chinoiserie mirror. I adore all the Chinoiserie including the Chinese garden stool, ginger jars, figures, framed Chinese panels, the pagoda mirror, and that faux bamboo cocktail table that holds famille rose plates. The fringed banquette in mint green striped silk is to die for. This is so Old School, but is timeless, especially with its grandmillennial style.

Unexpected Chinoiserie

Robin Gannon - Veranda Magazine

The Kohler clawfoot tub is flanked with a pair of drapery panels rather than a shower curtain. An oversized Chinoiserie pagoda mirror adds drama to this guest bathroom.

The Chinoiserie Dining Room

Amy Berry

A stunning Chinoiserie dining room featuring many favorites - Chinoiserie wallpaper, silk curtains, a glass dining table, lucite, a gold mirror, and blue and white Chinese porcelain. Not a fan of the crown molding that looks unfinished to me.

Pink & Green

Leigh Olive Mowry - Olive Interiors

Lots of favorites here - banana leaf wallpaper, a black and gold chest, brass, pink and green, black and white checkerboard floor, hot pink lampshades trimmed in Greek key, and a Chinese Chippendale mirror. A great combination of Hollywood Regency, Palm Beach, and Chinoiserie Chic.

The Blue and White Powder Room

Coastal Living's 2017 Idea House - Mark D. Sikes

I  love the mix of the blue and white ikat wallpaper with the faux bamboo mirror. Note how the door has been painted to match the wallpaper.

The Chinoiserie Bathroom

HGTV

What a fun bathroom. The wallpaper is Carleton Varney's Growing Wild. I love the wicker elephant. They can be found vintage or new. In a bathroom I would use it to hold towels. The faux bamboo mirror is anther great Chinoiserie touch.
