The Chinoiserie Kitchen

This wonderful oval Chinoiserie kitchen island was created by placing a marble slab on two Chinoiserie chests and a center cabinet that was stained and painted to match. The kitchen, featured in Traditional Home, was created by designer Vasi Ypsilantis. I love the contrast of the dark Chinoiserie island with the white kitchen cabinets.

Monogrammed Chinoiserie

One of my favorite followers emailed me about these gorgeous melamine Chinoiserie plates that are available personalized. Fabulous. Click here to find an online retailer or a retailer near you.

A Chinoiserie Bedroom

This is a truly fabulous Chinoiserie bedroom by Domicile Interior Design. I am crazy about the orange wall, the framed Chinoiserie panels, the ikat pillows, the blue foo dogs, the faux bamboo bench, and those incredible side tables.

Blue Chinoiserie

My friend Averill at Odi et Amo did a recent post on her favorite blue rooms. These three really spoke to me on the subject of how a touch or two of Chinoiserie elevates any room. In the dining room above by T. Keller Donovan, the faux blue and white ginger jars on the sideboard and the framed blue and white Chinese porcelain plate prints are wonderful. In the bedroom below by Christina Murphy, the Leontine linens transform the room into a Chinoiserie paradise. In the sitting room by Waterleaf Interiors, the garden stool and Chinoiserie toile make all the difference.
