Chinoiserie Style
Chinoiserie is a style in art reflecting Chinese qualities or motifs, but it is not Chinese. The term was a European invention. "Chinoiserie is a European decorative style that imitates China, Japan, and other Asian countries. Dating back to the mid-18th century and the rise in trade between Europe and East Asia, the style has brought an air of luxury and exoticism to interiors for centuries through everything from wallpaper and fabric to ceramics. "
Today there is still a surge in Chinoiserie's popularity because of globalization. Thus, its style fuses Western and Eastern cultures, therefore bringing about a captivating blend of designs into living spaces.
Decorating Chinoiserie uses Asian elements, one of which is the use of Chinese Vases. With their ornate design juxtaposed with modern contemporary furniture, Chinese Vases adds visual interest and gives elegance and the feeling of luxury to a room. Its appeal is timeless.
