If you love the timeless charm of chinoiserie and those classic blue and white hues, why not carry that sophisticated look into your holiday decorating? A blue and white chinoiserie Christmas is elegant, fresh, and endlessly chic — the perfect balance of festive and refined.
Here are my favorite chinoiserie holiday decorating ideas to inspire your own collected and curated holiday home.
1. Start with a Blue and White Christmas Tree
A blue and white tree feels luxurious without being overdone. Use white or gold lights to highlight the ornaments’ crisp tones. Mix ginger jar ornaments, glass balls in shades of cobalt and white, and a few soft blue ribbons to tie it all together.
Add texture with tassels, chinoiserie-patterned bows, or even a delicate pagoda ornament or two.

2. Decorate with Ginger Jars and Porcelain
Nothing says chinoiserie Christmas like using your favorite ginger jars and porcelain pieces as part of your decor. Try filling them with fresh greenery, magnolia leaves, or white roses for an effortlessly elegant centerpiece.
Line your mantel with a few jars in varying sizes and add small battery-operated fairy lights for a soft glow.

3. Set a Collected Chinoiserie Holiday Table
A blue and white tablescape feels both festive and timeless. Start with crisp white linens, then layer in chinoiserie plates and gold or brass accents for warmth. Add natural greenery or simple white florals for a cohesive, elevated look.

4. Add Natural Greenery for Texture
Blue and white can feel cool — so balance that with lush greens like boxwood, eucalyptus, or magnolia leaves. Drape garlands across your buffet, or place a small wreath on a mirror or window for subtle holiday charm.
