A Chinoiserie Vignette and New Work by Kerry Steele

Michelle Nussbaumer

Isn't this stunning? The Chinoiserie screen is amazing, but don't miss the detailing on the floor, chair, bench, console table, and lamp. Note the abstract art as well. Speaking of abstract art, you'll want to check out Kerry Steele's new work. She is now selling her canvases through her own online store and galleries, and continues to sell her works on paper in her Etsy store. The pieces below are some of my new favorites. I really love her use of color.

Chinoiserie Bathroom Vignette

From House Beautiful, a wonderful mix with a silver leaf Chinese screen, lucite table, lacquer tray, crystal decanters, and an antique blackamoor side table.

Chinoiserie in a Loft?

It should be perfectly obvious to followers of Chinoiserie Chic that Chinoiserie works beautifully with any style of interior design in any type of home. Here is another wonderful example. Fashion designer Erin Fetherston's NYC Tribeca loft-the bedroom with its Chinoiserie screen and pair of Chinoiserie lamps. See the entire amazing apartment here.

Saturday Inspiration

This wonderful Chinoiserie bedroom is by Betsy Burnham, yesterday's featured interior designer. Using a Chinoiserie screen behind a bed is a favorite trick of mine. It creates a focal point for the room, it mimics the look of high end wallpaper like de Gournay or Gracie, and unlike wallpaper, it is fully portable if you are a renter or may move.
