Leopard carpet palette with a distinct vintage flair

The month of September is Brussels design month and the vintage market of last year truly inspired us. The Brussels Design Market was first created in 2002 and evolved into the largest design market in Europe. This market features unique vintage pieces from the 20^th century. We were happy to go last year and were very inspired by specific colors combinations and the cozy atmosphere. Inspired by the mix of bold colors and browns, we decided to use the Leopard Beige carpet from the nature collection.

This pattern is a finely print leopard carpet design that really turns heads inside a space. The nature collection is inspired by the natural beauty in the world, bringing sophisticated floral carpets and unique animal prints to any indoor space. We decided to use the leopard print for this vintage-inspired mood board to show how such a bold print like leopard and vintage furniture can create a minimalist and luxurious interior.

Inspired by the leopard carpet, we included a bold red like Painted Trim by Haworth. We also included some dark browns like Sapele 60000 by Woodwright and Wild West by Pollack. Bulletin Board by Wolf-Gordon adds a lighter shade of brown to the pallet. We also included mossy greens like Venice Velvet and Nabeela. Lastly, I Cocci Spaccato and Horizon patterns add some dimension to the material board without being over the top with the statement leopard carpet.

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.
