Some fun Treillage Walls: Wallpaper Inspiration

While we are on the theme of Treillage (lattice, trellis work, whatever you want to call it), I thought I would share some of my favorite wall coverings and include a few pictures for inspiration...

A painted ceiling in a NYC residence:


Treillage ceiling by Decorative Imaging
Leta Austin Foster & Associates, NY -- it looks like wallpaper, but I think it is painted. Maybe it is period molding with wallpaper. What do you think?

How about this vintage Bob Collins "Chinese Lattice" paper....

Chinoiserie Chic's take on Mary McDonald's office

   Beth Connelly of Chinoiserie Chic writes one of the most inspiring blogs on chinoiserie style and I have to mention her post today because I love the mock up of an office she styled for Mary McDonald. Beth's post was a real head turner for me because I am totally obsessed with two things she choose:  (1) Meg Braff's Wallpaper Un Reve de Chine in White on Silver Mylar and (2)  Vintage Fornasetti Leopard Ottoman.  Here are her picks:

I have been obsessed with that Fornasetti ottoman since I saw it in a photo spread for Rutie Sommer's house:

The vintage Fornasetti Ottoman adds just the right amount of leopard -- I am so dying to find one!

Yellow as an Accent Color

Mary McDonald looking fabulous for a yellow accented chinoiserie Christmas

Yellow is so wonderfully cheerful -- and that is exactly what I need today -- a bit of cheer; so I thought I would pass on a little colorful fun.  I love yellow as an accent color with blue, red or green, it really can be a show stopper in accessories, rug or curtains; yellow adds a great pop of color to enliven a  room.
Love this aqua and yellow number, a little over exposed, but the colors are still fab.  Source? I searched and searched for the designer to no avail.

Green, yellow and blue, so pleasing.  I am digging this analogous color scheme.  Please help me attribute this room...

Tilton Fenwick uses those National Geographics (you know, the ones I wish I hadn't tossed from my parent's garage) to great advantage, don't you think?

Love this kitchen styled by Susan Salomon. via Willow Decor

The effect of this yellow door is dramatic. 

James Andrew. Again the Green, Blue, Yellow color scheme.

Source?  Wow. Talk about dramatic.  Love the yellow ceiling and black walls. But in all this that fabulous coffee table, a star in its own right, gets lost.

Mary McDonald yellow and black seating area.
Mary McDonald -- love how she frames that gorgeous screen with yellow panels. And it would not be complete without the bone pagodas.  Love.

Inspring Red Rooms

Besty Burnham home office -- Fabulous red De Gournay wallpaper
In my book I think it takes a lot of bravado to bring off a red room successfully (so far I have only gone with red accessories, but now I have been called in to help with a red room and need some inspiration pronto!).  I especially love red paired with its suped up or toned down compliment, green (chartreuse or olive) . That said, bring on the inspiration for Red Walls....

Red with punches of black and white look great and I love the contrast with the white sofas and mustard trim. 

No one does red like Miles Redd

Again, Miles Redd

Okay, not red walls, but pinkish red rug with the green walls.  Just love the Paris maps and the red and green together

Love the brick red lacquered walls paired with the neutral sofa and brown chairs. The blend of patterns ( ikat, greek key, cheetah and florals) in this room designed by Ashley Whittaker really work and it looks rather understated and classic given everything is that is going on.
