When in France, we visited Marseille and stayed at such a beautifully decorated hotel and restaurant. The inspiring hospitality spot, called Mama Shelter, included boho-inspired décor filled with mesmerizing greenery, bold colors, and unique patterns. Mama Shelter is designed by Starck and in his truly unique fashion delivers as a quirky and unique place where you can stay, dine, and network. The hotel created by the Trigano family is located in nine countries around the world. When walking around the Mama Shelter Marseille, we fell in love with the cactus patio, which featured beautiful cacti in terracotta pots and vibrant coral wood. Inspired by the patio, we recolored the Bamboo Blinds carpet. The low pile carpet in this new color is reminiscent of the uniquely colored wood in the patio.

For this material board, we continued the bohemian theme by choosing patterns that beautifully complement the low pile carpet. Giverny by Pollack and Finsbury by Designtex add some color and dimension with the use of geometric patterns. We also included tiles like Elements Mod Hex and CH220, which add colors reminiscent of the greenery and some unique patterns. Additionally, we included textiles like Grande by Koroseal Interior Products and Nightingale by Anzea to add some muted colors to the board. We also included pastel colors like Supreme Green, Daylily, and New Born’s Eyes. Lastly, we included Hot Spice, which is very similar to the coral shade of the wood in the patio.

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.
