At NewWall we’re always thinking of new and innovative ways to add depth to interiors. Whether it be through color, texture, material or perspective, we find viewing your surroundings as an artistic escape is an incredibly effective interior design technique. We’re loving the use of tapestry in the home at the moment… which leads to the subject of Chinoiserie. Today, we’re going to explore the possibilities of this timeless tapestry style for your space. Chinoiserie History Coming from the term ‘chinois’, meaning Chinese in French, the artistic style is inspired by native Asian countries in the 18th century. The design is a European interpretation of the decorative heritage, literature, theater and architecture that has embodied most of Eastern Asia. Over time, the style has been adapted and expressed differently across the globe. If you’re a person who enjoys traditional Asian murals and history, you’ll certainly be amazed by what chinoiserie has to offer. Coordonné We like to spice things up here at NewWall, and we’re thrilled to share with you our latest homeware obsession – Chinoiserie Tapestry by Coordonné. Based on a family-run design house in Barcelona, Coordonné is renowned for its bold and innovative designs; Chinoiserie is no exception. Let’s talk Tapestry… We love the use of tapestry in interiors, particularly because of its versatility. Using fabric that has a multi-use purpose allows you to showcase your material possessions effectively. Whether you want to use your tapestry as a mural to elevate your style, as a bedspread to add to your luxurious home qualities or even draped over a large spread table to sophistication to your dinner party settings – the possibilities of such a product are endless. 4 Ways To Use Tapestry: Featuring the Chinoiserie Tapestry Collection 1.

Garzas Tapestry Clow looks spectacular and is hung up on the wall. At the peak of a summer’s day, the golden shade brightens up the room and transports you to a rural oasis.

Remember, It’s not just used as a decorative piece; as the warmer weather is approaching and the tapestry is lightweight, you may opt to use it alone as you relax in comfort. Tapestry bedspreads are a great way to keep your interiors on-trend, without the need for heavy-duty decorating. A great example of this can be seen in Edo Mint. Featuring a white blossom tree and two tall peacocks perching with pride on a sage backdrop – this design is physical proof that tapestry and trends go hand in hand. Edo Tapestry Mint by Coordonné 3. Large dining table cover Will you be throwing decadent dinner parties this year? Impress your guests by using a tapestry as a large table cloth to pair with your equally extravagant table settings. If you’re a vintage china enthusiast, we have the perfect design for you. We have just the tapestry for your dining table – Garzas Rose. The deep mute pinkish tones expel warming vibes that can be transferred through the chatter with loved ones.
