The Chinoiserie Bed

Magaschoni Aviary Garden

A great way to add chinoiserie to a bedroom is of course with bedding. This pretty peacock floral and bird comforter set incudes a pair of shams. It's cotton sateen. This is such an elegant design. The Magaschoni Aviary Garden bedding collection is a luxury home textile line featuring botanical and bird-themed prints.

Purple & Chinoiserie

Mary McDonald - Elle Decor

 Purple rooms are still on the rare side, and even rarer mixed with chinoiserie like in this study. Custom de Gournay peacock wallpaper mixes with modern and mid century elements like the Karl Springer mirror, acrylic sputnik chandelier, Italian stools, and chairs in Scalamandre silk check. 

Purple is a color I don't really have in my home, although I love it where it goes more lavender like it does here. I don't use a lot of red either, but I really like lavender mixed with red. My study in Alexandria was lavender with red and pink and I loved it.

Chinoiserie Chic Christmas - Mary McDonald

Peacocks and Chinoiserie abound in Mary McDonald's holiday home, featured in Veranda magazine. Peacocks are a surefire way to add Hollywood Regency glamour to your holiday decor. Check out my December Houzz Ideabook for a couple of my favorite peacock picks.

Chinoiserie Taxidermy

Peacocks are iconically Chinoiserie, but this takes things to a new level. From the May/June issue of Lonny, this mantel has a real stuffed peacock. Quite dramatic, but I think it would freak me out. I passed on a beautiful one at a recent flea market for this reason. Any thoughts on this?

Today on One Kings Lane

I just ordered these Peacock Placemats-12 for $19.

My Peacock Room

One of my favorite rooms anywhere is the Peacock Room at the Sackler Gallery here in DC. On a recent thrift store trip, I spotted this amazing brass peacock screen. It was not priced, and I figured it would be quite expensive. When I inquired, I was told it was from an embassy, and they were asking $50. I could not pay and get it out of there fast enough. When I got it home it did not look like this. It was orange in color, probably having been in a hookah bar as opposed to an embassy. It was missing much of its hardware fastening all of it together. I took the entire thing apart, cleaned it, had a handy friend make new hardware for what was missing, reassembled and polished it. I have even found some wonderful bird claw and ball feet for the base that I have ordered. More pictures to come-this is a little preview. I almost threw it in the garbage a hundred times it was so frustrating restoring it, but I think it's quite beautiful.
