Sunday Inspiration

via The Vault Files

Isn't this the coolest idea? I love the idea of black and gold painted stairs. This would be a perfect backdrop for Chinoiserie whether beautiful Chinoiserie wallpaper or blue and white Chinese porcelain. You probably all remember this iconic Ashley Whittaker Chinoiserie foyer with its black and gold diamond patterned painted floor.

Chinoiserie Steps

I have worked hard on Chinoiserie Chic to show you how you can incorporate Chinoiserie in any room-even pantries, nurseries, kitchens and garden sheds. Here is a wonderful new idea-hand-painted Chinoiserie steps via one my my favorite blogs-Aesthetic Oiseau.

Sunday Inspiration-The Chinoiserie Staircase

The staircase is such a perfect and often overlooked area to add Chinoiserie drama to your home. This mural is a wonderful example. Here are other great ideas as well.

Chinoiserie Stairs

Did you notice in this photo from yesterday's post reflected in the mirror is a Chinese Chippendale staircase? Don't overlook your staircase as a spot to add Chinoiserie flair. Here are some wonderful examples to get you started.

Chinoiserie walls, garden stool and gilded stairs.

A Chinoiserie mural-have a local decorative artist paint an original mural for you.

Chinoiserie wallpaper-this is Flowering Quince by Clarence House.

A Chinese red bannister-I love Blazer by Farrow & Ball.

Art-a collection of new or antique Japanese woodblocks would be great.
