Chinoiserie, from the French meaning “in the Chinese taste,” was a European style of ornamentation popular in the late 17th and 18th centuries, applied to all forms of furniture, wallpaper, rooms and even entire buildings (see Buzz Kaplan’s Chinoiserie Part One and Part Two). In more moderate (and modern) doses, we’ve found incarnations appearing on walls throughout Decorati Designer Portfolios of late. Lush and alluring, this is a trend with staying power.

Beautifulllllllllll!!!!!!!!!. Chinoiserie will never date. It is very interesting to experiment with chinoiserie in the walls while aiming for a more contemporary look in furniture.

It’s a beautiful collection of photos and nothing creates “posh” better than hand painted wallpapers. I recognize some of the DeGournay and Griffin and Wong design work.
