Through the ages, artistic inspiration has found its place in storytelling. Timeless elegance, combined with the art of storytelling art brought the look of chinoiserie to our homes in the past year. Charming, with a cozy chic style, this art of chinese storytelling is typically seen in accent vases, called ginger jars–a historical reference to the functional storage of spices. Now woven throughout interior design, the look of chinoiserie is used in wallpaper, bedding and many other accent pieces within the home. Commonly seen in the traditional blue and white, we love how this has made its way to the top of the trends in wallpaper.
Traditional Chinoiserie
Defined by the asian art of storytelling, the scenes play out with birds, botanicals and distinct blues. Recognizable in an instant, the look of this wallpaper is charming and well-loved. Full of Old World sentiment, this traditional chinoiserie can be used in a range of rooms, highlighting chic comfort or a formal atmosphere. Step up the contemporary appeal of this artistic inspiration in
red and gold for a stunning look.
Lanterns & Botanicals
Another take on chinoiserie, this wallpaper highlights two traditions seen in asian art, combining them for a unique look that’s perfect for your walls. The contemporary look of the curved baubles will inspire a modern feel, while the close-up details of chinese lanterns adorned with chinoiserie storytelling art create an elegant air. The contrasting colors of purple, yellow and orange are a refreshing treat, although the
blue version of this wallpaper offers subtle charm.
Geometric Inspiration
Modern styling has brought geometric patterns to the forefront of design. There’s no end to the patterns that you can choose to add an upscale look to your home. And chinese art is no exception. The lattice seen here offers the modern look of popular design, while the lantern-like appeal of the individual shapes is reminiscent of the original ginger jars. The colors they have chosen to bring together offer peace and calm, but there are many colors available for you as you select the finishing touches for your space.
