#ChinoiserieChic Custom Sofa + Upholstery
The potential in a historic 1930’s Royal Oak home with an abundance of original details is endless. Combine that with a client with a deep love for traditional Chinoiserie style and whimsical details and the result can only be stunning. Such is the case in the upholstery pieces and window treatments in this living room. Each piece in the space was hand selected to not only complement the gorgeous historical features of the home - such as the original herringbone flooring, plaster crown molding, ceiling medallion and fireplace - but also infuse the space with the whimsical, layered motifs and textures that are typical of the European interpretation of Chinoiserie style. The teal and white fabrics seen in the window treatments and accent chairs are reminiscent of the traditional blue and white patterns of chinoiserie but also tie the teal detailing of original stained glass windows and inlays on the original stone flooring. The inspiration for the palette comes from the chinoiserie mural on the back wall of the dining room with a blush backdrop that has been reinterpreted into modern silhouettes and patterns on the sofa pillows and swivel chairs that provide a playful juxtaposition to the traditional lines throughout the rest of the space.
