A Chinoiserie Vignette

OKA

 

This is such a pretty vignette mixing lots of patterns and warm fall colors. Note the patterned lampshade on the patterned lamp base.

Mixing Pattern

Leta Ann Foster - House Beautiful

This is a very pretty breakfast room with a blue and white palette and fabulous Chinoiserie wallpaper (Quadrille China Seas Trellis Background) and a wonderful blue and white lantern.

But, do you think there are two many patterns going on here? With the wallpaper pattern (1), fabrics in different patterns (5), and lantern trellis design (1), that's a lot of pattern. Seven patterns in a small breakfast room. Do you like it, is it too much, or does it work because it is all in blue and white?

And a second point, what is your take on a roman shade on one window and cafe curtain on the other?

Personally, I think it's too much pattern and especially do not care for the window treatment. I would have gone with roman shades on both in linen in a solid color. Then navy blue Performance velvet on the chairs and bench with pillows in one or two fabrics. Less pillows and less patterns. I think with such a bold wallpaper, one or two other patterns works best personally.
