iridescent


I've seen lots of different examples of the newly re-popular chinoiserie wallpaper, but never one used like this. The unusually pearlescent design is only applied in the upper 2/5s of the room-- leaving the viewers with a perspective like the creatures the wallpaper displays. It adds much to the fantasy aspect of the room, and the extra moulding even heightens the elegance of the room. It's balanced out perfectly by the sharp angularity of the chairs and floor.
