Gradient effect carpet inspired by Chicago based Mikaela & Co

Mikaela and Co Moodboard Talk Carpet

Mikaela & Co is an online presence that sells abstract art pieces. Under the control of Mikaela Minor, the business has a solid creative direction. Minor is a young Chicago-based self-taught artist. She has a strong affinity with paintings, as she was surrounded by art all her life. Minor is a recent graduate from Loyola University Chicago’s Quinlan School of Business and currently works as a healthcare analyst. As a healthcare worker, she has a soft spot for those affected by cancer. Through every sale at Mikaela & Co., she aims to help teens in America who have cancer by donating a piece of her earnings.

Many of her art pieces mix bright and bold colors with grey tones, creating an abstract mashup. Inspired by her “Flow” piece, we create this material palette. As the base, we use a recolor version of our Gradient Block carpet from ege. We chose this carpet because the smooth gradient effect from the carpet fully represents Mikaela’s abstract pieces.

Furthermore, we use Reclaimed Teak Boatwood Shiplap Paneling, a wood panel with colorful chip marks. We also add various tiles to give color ranges and texture Ocean, Encaustic Cement Tile, and Zellige Unglazed. Funky Cold Patina Artwork is a decorative metal sheet that adds a rustic touch. Especially when paired with Juneau, a terrazzo-style colored glass. To bring a bit of the neutral elements back into the palette, we use ReForm Artworks Connect and Rove to help soften things up.

With our Easy Recolour concept, you too can create a personalized gradient effect carpet within minutes. Choose any colors you wish to include in your latest interior project and have your perfect carpet shipped to you within three weeks. Other features can also be personalized, including a choice from nine different fiber options and a range of other patterns to choose from.

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.
