Get inspired by the Chocolate hills of Bohol with our Tropical interior palette

Chocolate Hills Moodboard Talk Carpet

Located in the middle of the island of Bohol in the Philippines, the Chocolate Hills are a group of uniquely shaped hills that add to the island’s beautiful landscape. The island has at least 1268 hills, which are 120 meters tall at most. It is still unknown how the hills were formed. One of the more popular legends is that long ago, two giants fought for days until they became exhausted and became friends. Geologists say the hills are weathered formations of marine limestone lying on top of an impenetrable clay base.

Regardless of how the Chocolate Hills came to be, the view from the panoramic observation deck was a truly unique experience. Although the hills are of varying heights, the view from the observation deck makes them seem symmetrical. The brown color of the hills peeking through the dense forest of palm trees creates a breathtaking view.

We were inspired by the Cholate Hills to recolor the Windy Foliage carpet. This unique carpet is part of the Highline Express Nature Collection, which takes inspiration from forests, deserts, and oceans to create vivid carpet designs. We decided to recolor it in shades of green, reminiscent of the dense forest of palm trees from the breathtaking view we got to experience.

We were highly inspired to create a tropical interior palette for the material board. Therefore, we decided to include dark brown materials like Serenissima Fossil by Conestoga Tile, Velvet Radiance by Valley Forge Fabrics, Pebble Shagreen by Laminart, Film Noir Porcelain Panel by Crossville, OAK Vulcano by mafi America Inc, and Re_Micron by Garden State Tile. We also included cream-colored stones to add texture to the board by adding Angela Harris Dunmore Ceramic Tile by TileBar and Pinch by Daltile. We also included Marea by Foglizzo Leather for a pop of color. Lastly, we included green-toned textiles like Boho by Paul Brayton Designs and Frieze by Pallas Textiles.

If you want to find the perfect color for one of our many carpet designs, Talk Carpet’s recolor program is ideal for you. You can choose any of our nine carpet substrates to take your project to the next level. Additionally, our online tool lets you quickly visualize what the recolor will look like. You can get your carpet in just three weeks. Contact us to learn more.

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.
