Blue & White Perfection /
Embracing blue and white home furnishings
Black and white might long be the perfect pairing, but the team at Maree Hynes Interiors inspires us to open our minds, and our homes, to another alternative.
Atimeless décor style that is being re-introduced into the modern home is ‘chinoiserie’ – a commonly known word related to oriental design, but it actually comes from the French word for Chinese ‘chinois’. This European interpretation of Asian culture and design has found its way to our shores and has been a firm favourite for many, for many years.
For today’s modern home there is a large variety of homewares and furniture available to introduce this style to your space. For those wanting a large centrepiece, try some beautiful armchairs. Our pick are those with a modern shape and a surprising Chinese inspired fabric
with a crisp white and vibrant blue pattern to excite the eyes.
For a small dose, try Ginger Jars – they originally served a purely functional purpose, but are now used as a decorative element. Featuring stunning ceramic pieces with painted scenes in vibrant blues and whites, they make a striking addition to the home. Layered in a display they create a real statement. Try mixing sizes and shapes: vases with decorative cut outs or mammoth Temple Jars for a bold statement.
For those wanting to really command attention, you can’t go past gigantic urn lamps – plump in size and bold in design, they are all about impact.
