1. Vases
Chinese vases are a versatile accessory. In the interior of the loft, built on the contrast of warm and cold shades, porcelain vases with a cool-feeling cobalt painting in white help to “cool” the red brick dust.

2. Figurines
The chinoiserie statuette is a safe way to bring liveliness to the classic interior with elements of the English style, because historically this style was shaped like the style of a colonial power.

3. Stools
The modern respectable interior also "tasted" the Chinoiserie style. In this context, such large and expressive details as these barrel-shaped stools in the interior of an apartment designed by architect Tatyana Mironova look great.

Chinoiserie-style cabinets combine laconicism, exoticism and historicism in their appearance, so they simply fit perfectly into the modern interior in the mix style, saturated with diverse details. Here, such a cabinet lurked at a coffee table.
