Orange & Terracotta Chinoiserie Wallpaper for Dining Rooms
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.
Dining rooms come alive by lamplight, which is why rich, dark or highly decorative wallpapers excel here. Consider papering all four walls for an enveloping, intimate mood.
Terracotta and burnt orange are earthy, warm and right on trend.
Our edit of 11 original designs includes blossom branch, cherry bough, garden birds. Highlights from the edit include Baxter Garden Birds, Gorham Garden Birds, Sandford Cherry Bough.

Styling tips
- Lacquer-red, celadon and gold accents suit chinoiserie, as do bamboo-effect furniture and blue-and-white ceramics.
- They pair beautifully with olive greens, plaster pinks and natural fibres.
- Dark grounds hide marks and make candlelight glow.
- Run it all the way round a dining room or bedroom to create the immersive 'painted room' effect it was invented for.
