Chinoiserie


Fromental

Recently we were asked by a client to look at ways to give her rather traditional dining room, a more modern feel.  We added architectural elements such as paneling and a coffered ceiling, but with the owner's very traditional furniture, we knew we'd run the risk of having the room look a little frumpy and old fashioned unless we did something very different with the walls.  We came across a few images of dining rooms with chinoiserie wall paper, and we thought that's perfect.  It's formal, yet modern and young.  My favorite designs, because of their vibrant colors and fabulous imagery, come from the French company De Gournay and the English company Fromental
