Chinoiserie Panels How To

I hope you have all checked out the incredible Chinoiserie panels at The Decorator Archives. I am beginning a new series to inspire you on ways to use them in your home. This Barrie Benson dining room featured in Domino shows us a wonderfully modern approach, trimmed out in black molding. Large wallpaper panels like these can be hung directly on the wall as murals or can be mounted on gator foam board so they can move with you. This beautiful panel in the bottom photo is very similar - Royal Garden Cream. It measures 72'' wide by 96" high and is priced at $378.

Pink Flamingos

Bunny Williams

A pink flamingo is a great way to get that Palm Beach Chinoiserie style, as shown in this great vignette above by Bunny Williams. The Decorator Archives has two wonderful pink flamingo works of art, available as originals hand painted on silk or as prints.

The Decorator Archives - Singerie

I am a huge fan of "singerie," a French word meaning monkey trick. This genre depicts monkeys aping human behavior, often fashionably attired. This original piece of art from France is on crackled canvas. At a very impressive 3'7" by 7'6", this would be a very dramatic addition to your home.

Fanciful Chinoiserie palms after the 18th century German Engelbrecht - available in small or large prints or as a one of a kind original piece

A Chinoiserie Dining Room

Cottages & Gardens

A lovely mix in this dining room - a Jansen Chinoiserie pagoda chandelier and Osborne & Little's Chinoiserie Bird Cage wallpaper with pink silk taffeta curtains, a mirrored sideboard, antique Swedish chairs, and acrylic chairs. I love the additional touch of pink with the bottles of French sparkling lemonade on the table.
