The Blue and White Powder Room

Kara Miller Interiors

 

This wonderful powder room features one of my absolute favorite wallpapers - Quadrille Lyford Trellis. The bamboo and cane mirror is perfect. The hand soap looks like Nest's Ocean Mist and Sea Salt. The picture light style fixture is very chic.

 Perhaps my favorite element is the vintage Steve McQueen black and white photograph. BTW, using a framed photograph is a great way way to keep a room fresh and modern and edgy and not granny. The photographer was famed war photographer and photojournalist John Dominis for Look magazine. 

Chinoiserie Outdoors

Veranda

 This wonderful outdoor space features trelliage in a beautiful blue for al fresco dining styled with lots of chinoiserie. Note the pagoda on the console, bamboo flatware, and chinoiserie china. I always get questions on choosing bamboo flatware. There are lots of choices out there. For a great look at a great price, I love Cambridge Silversmiths that comes in natural and in black. It is available everywhere (Amazon, Walmart, Bed, Bath & Beyond, etc. for about $27.00 for a set of 20. I've had mine for years. 

I also really like the chargers - I have a collection of wicker and raffia chargers and I love them for a summer, beachy, casual, tropical vibe. Here they have layered it with a pretty linen placemat - another great idea.

Tropical Vignette

Emily Painter - Southern Living

 Lots of great inspiration here to lend a tropical/island/chinoiserie vibe to your home. The wallpaper is Balinese Batik by Quadrille. Note the chic and economical seagrass matting, a bamboo Chinese Chippendale chair, Amanda Lindroth wicker hurricane used as a vase, a pair of trellis lamps, a Chinese console table, and an absolutely amazing seashell mirror.

Florida Chinoiserie Chic

Chad Hoeft Designs - Palm Beach Home and Decor

Another stunning Florida vignette I have been saving in my Florida File. The classic Chinoiserie wallpaper is Chinese Lattice by Bob Collins and Sons, a favorite of mine. I love the pair of Chinese ginger jars paired with the scallop seashell sconces and the coral.

This is an example of a tiny entryway with lots of style. I love the antelope runner, trellis wallpaper, abstract art, and of course, the blue and white Chinese porcelain.
