Mary McDonald


Would you describe your style as preppy or Hollywood Regency? Love classic and clean, but glamorous? Is your color palette clear, fresh colors like blue and white, pink and green, or pink and navy? Then Mary McDonald is likely your style. She loves Chinoiserie and uses it in a very fresh and modern way. Check out these wonderful examples from her portfolio. Be sure to note these ideas to employ yourself. For more of her work, click here.

1. Garden stools as seating, coffee tables, or side tables
2. Lots of white
3. Chinese porcelain collections-blue and white, celadon, Blanc de Chine, or monochromes
4. Painted ceilings-don't forget that fifth wall
5. Pagodas
6. Trellis patterned fabric and wallpaper
7. Rich, clear colors
8. Bold patterns
9. Symmetry everywhere-pairs of lamps, chairs, pillows, stools
10. Mixing classic and crazy
11. Start neutral-then pile it on
12. Lucite
13. Monograms
14. A dose of black
