Interior material palette displaying soft blues and biophilia elements

Villa Africa Moodboard Talk carpet

Located in Cape Town, Villa Africa is an art gallery that showcases eclectic art and furniture. The gallery features a lot of uniquely designed pieces that are made from a wide variety of different materials. When we visited the gallery, we saw a beautiful art piece that showcased the Baobab trees. The tree is native to Madagascar, can live up to 3000 years, and comes in all sorts of strange shapes. A Baobab tree located in Zimbabwe is so big that it can shelter up to 40 people inside its trunk. The tree blossoms large flowers that open quickly at dusk and produce large berry-like fruits.

Keeping in mind the sand color of the Baobab’s trunk together with the blue used for the background of the art piece, we recolored the Forest carpet by ege carpets for our latest interior material palette. This carpet is part of the Easy Recolor Nature collection. In this collection, we have taken inspiration from natural elements to create beautiful and peaceful designs, fitting very well in the biophilic design trend.

For our interior material palette, we continued the theme of the pale blue and sandy beige colors by choosing materials like the Ulster upholstery, Island Weaves Grasscloth, and Shores Cayman. Additionally, we decided to include pops of green by adding Luce by Maharam, and beautiful patterns inspired by the Baobab trees. OmniDecor’s DecorFlou Design Tree is beautiful glasswork that features tree-inspired designs. To tie it all together, we chose Lavaliere Calcatta to add some pops of gold and Tree Ring Paper by Olivia + Poppy to add some more tree-inspired design elements.

Our Easy Recolor program allows you to choose any of our many carpet designs and customize them with any color you would like. Our tool is intuitive and allows you to easily choose between different colors to pick the perfect carpet for your office space.

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.
