Grey 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.
Grey is a sophisticated backdrop that lets furniture and art take centre stage.
Our edit of 6 original designs includes blossom branch, garden birds, songbird. Highlights from the edit include Thistle Songbird, Jarvis Songbird, Hawthorne Blossom Branch.

Styling tips
- Lacquer-red, celadon and gold accents suit chinoiserie, as do bamboo-effect furniture and blue-and-white ceramics.
- Warm greys sit better with oak; cool greys with chrome and white.
- Run it all the way round a dining room or bedroom to create the immersive 'painted room' effect it was invented for.
