The Chinoiserie Palette-Yellow and Green


One of my favorite color palettes for a Chinoiserie room is yellow and green. For some reason this is a very underutilized color combination. These colors work beautifully with blue and white Chinese porcelain, black lacquer, gilt pieces, and some of the most elegant Chinoiserie wallpapers are in yellow or green colorways. My living room is yellow and green. As you can see, it is a lovely choice for a living room, dining room, bedroom, or bath. I especially love the combination of pale green walls and yellow silk curtains which is what I have used. I will do an upcoming post on my own living room.
