Spanish style floor tile based on the historic home of Gayer Anderson

Gayer Anderson moodboard Talk Carpet

During our adventures in Egypt, we could not miss a tour of the Gayer-Anderson Museum in the El-Sayeda Zainab district in old Cairo. This museum consists of two houses that connect by a bridge. The larger house was built in 1632, and the second one was built in 1540. Both houses were constructed using ruins of the surrounding, including bricks of Mokatam hill. Gayer-Anderson was a British major and army doctor and bought the house after falling in love with them. The major filled the rooms of the houses with crystals, carpets, antiques, silks, glassware, and embroidered Arab costumes.

The beautiful décor thoroughly inspired us in the museum. There were themed rooms, beautifully tiled beams, gorgeous windows, and so much more. We were especially inspired by the Spanish-style floor tile that decorated the walls and parapets. The beautiful and vivid blues, greens, and yellow inspired us to recolor the Patchwork carpet from the Rawline Scala, which celebrates heritage in a minimalistic way.

Inspired by the many different areas that the museum had, we created a material board that features various patterns and materials that still look beautiful together. We started with a neutral wood Peaceful Sand and a neutral leather-like Classic Almost by Paul Brayton Designs. We also included Roman White by Rookwood as a baseline for the other beautiful colors and patterns pop. We included Scirocco H5B and H4A by Arto, Sintra by Fireclay Tile, and Studio-Universe Deco by Adex USA to add more to the Spanish-style floor tile. Additionally, we included some patterned and colorful textiles like Piet by Brentano and Tangram by Wolf-Gordon. Lastly, we included the Glass Leaf Mosaic and Forest Elements Scallop Stereo to add a twist with some unique shapes.

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.
