Popularized in 18th century Europe, Chinoiserie has amassed a rather ardent following of late, with entire Instagram accounts dedicated to this fantastical view of Chinese art and culture. Lovers of the look share a fondness for pagodas, trellis and exotic florals. And the mere mention of “blue and white” will most certainly elicit a smile, a social media “like,” even a heart emoji (blue of course).
If we’re speaking your style, a timeless one to be sure, read on. We’ve gathered 10 fabrics and wallcoverings to add to your arsenal of beloved Chinoiserie prints and patterns from our friends at Manuel Canovas, Cowtan & Tout, Clarke & Clarke, Travers, Bailey & Griffin and Phillip Jeffries. If fabric and wallcovering are not enough to satisfy, we’ve assembled a collection of furniture designs from Niermann Weeks, Hickory White, Kindel, Century and more that are sure to delight. Happy scrolling.

The fusion of technology and fashion-forward, painterly effects come together in collections from Romo’s Black Edition and Phillip Jeffries. The two lines are making their mark in this impressionistic style and doing so by way of innovative, digital printing. Their approach, which offers a modern take on traditional motifs, ranges from colorful contemporary designs, adorn opulent velvet’s, and sophisticated linens and weaves to patterns captured in bold, impulsive brushstrokes. As if emerging from a dream, the designs bring a sense of harmony and serenity to walls, upholstery and windows, in addition to a unique in-stock, ready-to-ship collection of cushions offered at a surprising price point.
Artistry meets innovation in Phillip Jeffries‘ Wildflowers collection. This collection captures landscapes of endless wildflowers and grassy meadows, as we find beauty in the prairie aesthetic. Etheral on Moon Glow Enchanted Woods can be seen above and Plum Fields on Lavender Bermuda Hemp below.
At Phillip Jeffries, digital design mixes old-world craftsmanship with new-world technology using their PJ MASH-UP Program. With PJ MASH-UP create your own one-of-a-kind design in 4 simple steps. With a low minimum and strike-off fee, custom has never been so accessible. Feel free to mash-up reliefs, prints, and digital/mural collections.
This season we’ve seen traditional and contemporary techniques intertwine from Black Edition Mizumi collection, featuring a collaboration with Japanese artist Katsutoshi Yuasa. Using digital images from his own camera, Yuasa creates intricate woodcut prints crafted with small carving tools. Once complete, he uses an entirely manual printing method to create his artwork.
Abstract stories and landscapes from Yuasa’s collection are re-imagined in a rich anthology of luxury fabrics seen below.
As mentioned above, Black Edition offers a unique collection of in-stock cushions featuring designs from Japanese artist, Yuasa. There are 27 designs in all, contact the showroom for pricing and ordering information.
