Blue and cream striped carpet as canvas for our Zebra shells palette

moodboard

Sometimes, winter makes us want to escape the cold and take a trip to a warm tropical island. Walking on the beach and finding unique seashells are some of our favorite island activities. Sometimes you find exciting shells. Such as the blue and cream striped zebra shell, which inspired our carpet recolor.  Zebra shells are small freshwater mussels found in many places where there is a body of water. They get their name from a striped pattern commonly seen on their outer body.

The material board perfectly translates the shapes of rippled zebra shells that swirl around each other in fun zig-zag lines. The zebra shells’ smooth glossy texture catches our eye and sets the theme for this mood board, with an existing carpet design by ege Carpets.

We are using an existing pattern from ege called Rippled Plaster for this material board. We recolored the pattern matching the zebra shells’ appearance, creating a blue and cream striped carpet. The wavy geometrical lines accent the carpet design so that it looks like a foamy wave hitting the shore. The recolored pattern is set as a unique background for our mood board and paired with other contract products.

With ege Carpets’ Easy Recolor Program, you can easily recolor and visualize existing designs for your hotel, hospitality, office, or multifamily projects. We have various color and scale options for broadloom carpet, carpet tiles, and area rugs. If you like any of our designs, please feel free to contact one of our team members or talk to us through LiveChat.

Sitting right next to Pompidou in Paris is Atelier Brancusi. This place is a reconstruction of the studio of renowned Romanian-born artist Constantin Brancusi. In the atelier, there are 137 sculptures, 87 bases, 41 drawings, two paintings, and more than 1600 grass photographic plates and prints by the artist.

Brancusi died in 1957, leaving behind a lot of his work in his studio, which consisted of 11 joined studios. The Romanian artist would break down walls to adjoin studios and create various environments to exhibit his work. He considered the relationship between sculptures and the space they occupied to be of crucial importance.

In 1997, the Atelier Brancusi as we know it today opened its doors on the esplanade of the Center Pompidou. So much of Brancusi’s work is on display at the atelier, giving you an idea of how much the artist put into the world. There are wood and plaster sculptures, bronze colonnades, animal shapes, and photographic studies. It is a beautiful and inspiring place to visit.

Inspired by the stone and natural textures of Brancusi’s work, we recolored the Stone Surface carpet. This is part of the nature collection by ege carpets, which takes inspiration from forests, deserts, and oceans. This light recolor of the carpet allows you to bring a textured palette to your next interior design project.

We created a material board that focuses on a textured palette with the atelier colors and the recolored carpet in mind. We included dark woods like Texas Mesquite 83000 and Artisanal Hardwoods. Keeping the dark brown theme, we also included different textured textiles like Artisan Textured Finishes by CopperSmith, Basketcase by Cortina Leathers, Lafayette Velvet by Opuzen, and Chesney by Valley Forge Fabrics. Additionally, we decided to bring some lighter tones of cream and white by adding Cove, True Terrazzo, Concrete Look Porcelain Paver, and Passion. To tie in the soft colors with the dark ones, we included mid-toned neutral paints like Crewel Tan by Sherwin-Williams and Mesa Tan by Dunn-Edwards Paints.

If you like our textured palette, you might be interested in our Easy Recolor Program. We used this to recolor our Stone Surface carpet, enabling us to source the perfect backdrop for our textured palette. Using our online tool, you can do the same. Choose from any of our collections and recolor them to match any interior. You can then visualize the carpet before ordering physical carpet samples. You’ll receive your samples within three business days at an affordable price. Contact us if you want to learn more.
