Purple 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.
Purple – from lavender to plum – feels creative, romantic and a little unexpected.
Our edit of 11 original designs includes blossom branch, cherry bough, garden birds, songbird. Highlights from the edit include Vivian Garden Birds, Rutland Songbird, Elsworth Garden Birds.
Shown: Vivian Garden Birds Wallpaper in Dusky Plum.

Styling tips
- Lacquer-red, celadon and gold accents suit chinoiserie, as do bamboo-effect furniture and blue-and-white ceramics.
- Mix with sage or ochre to keep it modern.
- 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 dining room wall of about 4.0 m wide × 2.4 m high needs 8 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.
