Gray and Pink Chinoiserie

Frontgate

Here is a lovely color combination - gray and soft pink - I love the framed Chinoiserie panels and the pink wicker chairs. This would be a great color combination in a beach house and would pair beautifully with blue and white.

Trending - Pink and Gray

From time to time, I love to post on emerging trends I perceive in interior design. These are not the hot trends written up in shelter mags, but looks I start to see repeated in rooms that I feel work especially well with Chinoiserie. Last year I did "Trending" posts on -

*Pineapples
*Malachite
*Purple
*The Big Chinoiserie Lamp
*Antelope
*The White Elephant
*Brushstroke
*Mudcloth
*The Return of the Skirted Table
*Combining Pink and Orange
*Black Windows
