Besides Egypt’s famous hieroglyphs, pyramids and tombs, there is so much more to see beyond the beautiful historical landmarks. You can find inspiration from architecture strolling through the neighborhoods of Egypt. Egyptian architecture uses a lot of mud and brick in the construction of homes. On our recent trip, we spotted a glossy blue door on an Egyptian mud-brick home.

The white panels are unique because they are molded panels cut out and placed over the door. The top panel on top of the door has white carvings resembling clouds and the moon. These symbols are inside temples and ancient Egyptian monuments. The patterns are often symbolic of Egyptian culture and history and are similar to the hieroglyphs that ancient Egyptian houses use. From the top of the door to the bottom, the blue creates an array of shades consisting of a lighter blue to darker cobalt.

Similarly, the other image is a door on a colonial French door inset in an Arabic style wall feature. The window panels are missing from deterioration, but the chipped walls match the rustic vibe. The fading green color of the french doors matches the blue that is seen in Moroccan and Middle Eastern architecture. The shape of the blue arch on the top, followed by the panels on the right and left, is often used in Moroccan decor. When looking closely, you can see the hand carvings inside the door panels. The carvings are patterns containing many X’s inside the rectangular panels.

For our beautiful mood board, we take inspiration from both images onto one material palette. Flax recolored is a monolithic carpet tile by ege. The new color palette is a faded beige and blue blend that resembles the Egyptian mud-brick home. Hashtag by Carnegie is a soft stain-resistant textile. ReForm A New Wave Sand resembles the dunes of Egypt with similar patterns. Bantry, Klinker, Billie Ombre, Saloon, Lunar, Como Emboss are other contract materials that mimic the appearance of the fading doors. Leather Essentials Cowhide (LES) in Abstract Squares Pattern is a velvet texture in a sandy beige tone.

Schedule an introduction with us

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.
