A round-up of 40 chinoiserie-style wallpaper prints and murals from designers and budget-friendly dupes
Yesterday we installed a chinoiserie wallpaper mural in Regan’s room, and I absolutely love how it turned out. The most important thing is that she loves it too. I selected a mural by artist Diane Hill that felt like the perfect blend of whimsical charm and timeless nostalgia—playful enough for a child’s room yet classic enough to age well.
Update: We completed the toddler bedroom makeover using this chinoiserie mural—if you’re planning a room refresh, this style can be surprisingly versatile for a range of design directions, from cottagecore to Grandmillennial.
Where to use chinoiserie wallpaper
Chinoiserie is a decorative style that cycles back into popularity regularly, and right now it’s enjoying renewed interest thanks to trends like cottagecore and the Grandmillennial aesthetic. Its detailed patterns and storytelling vignettes are ideal for rooms where a single wall can become the focal point.
Good places to use chinoiserie wallpaper include nurseries and kids’ rooms, dining rooms, studies, and living rooms. Because the designs are often intricate, they perform best on a large, uncluttered wall where the pattern can be appreciated as a whole. In smaller rooms, consider an accent wall to avoid overwhelming the space.
When choosing a chinoiserie pattern, pay attention to scale, color palette, and repeat. Larger motifs can read more modern and bold, while smaller repeats feel traditional and subtle. If you want the mural to work with existing furniture and textiles, pick a palette that complements those elements so the wallpaper feels integrated, not pasted on.
