Chinoiserie Chic: Designer Secret Sources for Chinoiserie Walls

LOVE IS IN THE AIR

February might not be our favorite month around here... hello gray skies and winter.  But all gray skies aside, we are here for all the flowers! Especially when February flowers come in the form of wallpaper. Now this look is nothing new to the design world, but there is a new way of adding a touch of chintz in a modern interior space. Here at VWI, we strive to create well curated designs, mixing dainty details with traditional touches  that take our spaces from feeling frilly too sophisticated.  In the Dining Space above, our client did not want seams to show, which is often a setback of using wallpaper. In order to get the chinoiserie look without using a wallpaper, we teamed up with a local artist to create a hand painted chinoiserie walls instead. Designers  do more than pick pretty patterns, we are problem solvers too! (Take the  full tour HERE). But all seams aside, we still love a good Chinoiserie wallpaper. Read on as we spill all our favorite designer sources to get the look in your home. And stay tuned for more floral inspiration as we wrap up our latest project reveals. 

It's easy to see why Clary Bosbyshell was just named Traditional Homes designers to watch. Her mix of patterns play perfectly with the blue built ins in this Mudroom recently featured in House Beautiful magazine.

Indulge us for a minute here while we share even more BLUE HUES! The classic Pyne Hollyhock print has been reinvented in indigo in this charming foyer featured in one of our favorite designer shops Lynn Chalk.

We can't mention Chinoiserie without name dropping Gracie Studios. One of the best resources in the business for hand painted  wall coverings.  Rachel Parcel's new home designed by Alice Lane is covered in this print, how chic is this?
