Black & White Chinoiserie Wallpaper
Chinoiserie began in 18th-century Europe as an imaginative response to imported painted silks and porcelain. Branches, blossom and birds give walls a hand-painted, collected-over-time feel.
Black and white wallpaper is graphic, timeless and surprisingly easy to style.
Our edit of 21 original designs includes cherry bough, garden birds, garden of birds, pavilion garden, peony bough, silk aviary and more. Highlights from the edit include Trerice Willow Court, Montacute Garden of Birds, Lacock Peony Bough.

Styling tips
- Lacquer-red, celadon and gold accents suit chinoiserie, as do bamboo-effect furniture and blue-and-white ceramics.
- Add one accent colour – yellow, green or red – for a contemporary edge.
- Run it all the way round a dining room or bedroom to create the immersive 'painted room' effect it was invented for.
How much will I need?
A typical bedroom wall of about 3.6 m wide × 2.4 m high needs 7 drops. With a 64 cm pattern repeat you get 3 drops per 10 m roll, so you would order 3 rolls – from £132.60 on Standard paper to £217.62 on Luxe. Use the calculator on any product page for your exact walls.
Make it your own
Every design in this edit can be recoloured, rescaled and previewed on a photo of your own wall in Design Your Own, then printed made-to-measure.
Frequently asked questions
What goes with black & white chinoiserie wallpaper?
Lacquer-red, celadon and gold accents suit chinoiserie, as do bamboo-effect furniture and blue-and-white ceramics. Add one accent colour – yellow, green or red – for a contemporary edge.
How many rolls of wallpaper do I need?
Measure the width of each wall and the height from skirting to ceiling. Our rolls are 52 cm wide and 10 m long. Use the roll calculator on every product page – it accounts for the pattern repeat and recommends one spare roll.
Is your wallpaper paste-the-wall?
All Wallpaper Kingdom papers are non-woven and paste-the-wall, so they are quicker to hang and dry-strippable when you want a change.
Can I order a sample first?
Yes. Every design is available as a free A4 sample so you can check colour and scale in your own light before you order.
