Have you heard the word chinoiserie before? If not, don’t worry. We are going to introduce you to this decorative style and supply inspiration on how you can bring it into your home.
The style dates to the 18th century, where creators developed chinoiserie art and creations using Chinese visual ideas for inspiration. It has a place in modern homes too. One of the best ways to introduce it is to opt for chinoiserie wallpaper, often using the famous and much-loved cherry blossoms to introduce a touch of nature.
Here we explore various wallpapers and chinoiserie wall murals you may be inspired by in your own home.
