As the temperatures drop and thoughts turn to the holidays and winter decorating, the fireplace and mantel become even more important focal points. Here are ideas for decorating your fireplace with Chinoiserie panache. The first gorgeous example above is by Carolyne Roehm.
1. A Chinoiserie style fireplace mantel
2. Blue and white Chinese porcelains-think vases, ginger jars, tulipieres
3. A Chinoiserie fireplace screen-can even be made from Chinoiserie wallpaper
4. A Chinoiserie fireback
5. Blanc de Chine
6. A Chinoiserie mirror
7. Chinoiserie wallpaper on that wall
8. Asian antiques
9. Pagodas
10. A Chinoiserie oil painting, framed silk fragment or panel, or framed Chinoiserie wallpaper
11. Flanked by one or a pair of Chinese screens
