The Beginning: Living Room Before Chinoiserie Updates
Before we dive into the colorful transformation, let's take a peek at the living room before the makeover. As you can see in the images below, the room had a predominantly brown color scheme, lacking the vibrancy and energy it needed.
But fear not! Lori Nell, the brilliant mind behind Southern Nell's, was determined to infuse color and life into her space.

After a two-year process, filled with careful planning and creative hacks, the Chinoiserie Inspired Room Makeover came to life. Lori's attention to detail and her unique design style, combining Chinoiserie, Traditional Southern, and a splash of Palm Beach Chic, resulted in a space she fondly calls "Chinosoutherie". Let's take a closer look at the elements that make this room truly special.
