The Long Gallery at the Royal Pavilion of Brighton. The walls of the Long Gallery were painted with a chinoiserie design of trees, rocks, shrubs and birds against a pink background. The present scheme is a 1950s reconstruction of the original, intended to evoke a bamboo grove. Full of exotic furnishings and Chinese objets d’art, the Long Gallery uses clever decorative techniques such as iron cast to imitate bamboo, furniture in beech simulating bamboo, and carefully placed mirrors.

The “Porcelain Chamber” in Charlottenburg Palace, Berlin, completed in 1706. The greater availability of Chinese and Japanese porcelain from the mid-1600s onward increased interest in this material. Nobles throughout Europe collected porcelain and created “China cabinets"—rooms completely decorated with ceramics displayed on brackets, mantelpieces, shelves, and sometimes even on the floor.

The blue-and-white scheme of this dining room belonging to interior designers Philip Vergeylen and Paolo Moschino is based on the eighteenth-century painted French screen that hangs on the wall. The hand-painted blue design was created with the artist, Dawn Reader. On the walls are blue-and-white Tournai porcelainware.
