Original Designs for Wooden Floors by Jamie Beckwith - new Enigma


Fresh Patterns for Wooden Floors: Enigma Collection by Jamie Beckwith
The new Enigma Floor Collection by Jamie Beckwith emphasizes on quite a few original designs helping you find inspiration when it comes to wooden floors. Some of our readers have been complaining about the monotonous look of their living room or kitchen floors, so this post comes with several options to consider.

The Enigma® flooring collection invites you to rethink wood flooring. Consider some of these options—use one of the 14 patterns as a wall to wall flooring installation, mix colors or patterns, or create an inset rug pattern in a traditional plank floor. Finally, floors become a design element, instead of an afterthought“. Find these patterns inspiring or do you rather consider them high-maintenance?

Intriguing Gradient Curtains and Carpet by Thomas Eurlings



Gradient Curtains and Carpet by Thomas Eurlings

Designer Thomas Eurlings created a series of intriguing gradient curtains and carpets with a vertical fade which give the illusion of more indoor space. This is possible due to the ability of the designs to make the ceiling look more lighter and higher than it actually is. According to Thomas Eurlings, the gradient curtain and carpet were developed for the head office of Brainport Development in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. They are said to not only contribute to the illusion of extra height, but also to a better acoustics of the space, due to the silk fabric used for the curtain. For future projects, the colors and the fading will be adjusted by the designer according to the characteristics of each interior. We find this to be an interesting and helpful idea for small spaces. These type of perspective-changing decorative ideas do not just enhance the space, but bring a colorful, fresh touch as well.
