A Masculine Sense of Home

In a space that is sophisticated and minimal, eclectic and well traveled, neat and organized, and mindful of itself; a space that loves the pure essence of music and aims to capture the cleanest sound, sits the perfect braided carpet.

A unique rectangular piece that contains color, but is strengthened by black, dark browns, and neutrals brings together these elements to ground a listening room that is both soft and masculine at the same time. It’s texture, warm and full of memory, cultivates a sense of home.

Ries | Hayes Interior Design Studio really nailed it on this one.

Braided carpets are a category of rugs which are rich with history. This American cultural object of necessity has over time become an appreciated woven art form, and the search for unique and interesting period pieces is an ongoing one. Here’s some braided rugs that we find to be quite wonderful.

Eclectic and Earthy in NYC

Loving on this eclectic and down to earth space from our recent install in a NYC apartment.

The feel is clean, modern, and minimal with natural textures and reflective surfaces juxtaposing dark accents and plush fabrics.

There’s something about the way that Chinese Deco carpets pair with crushed velvet couches that has a sophisticated air about it. The soft warm tones and minimal dark accents of the rug make it a perfect fit for this room. 

Love the look? Here’s some comparables for you to swoon over.

The Whiteley, London | Kelly Behun Studio

As seen in Wallpaper Magazine, Kelly Behun was asked to design the first model residence at The Whiteley – housed in a historic former department store near Hyde Park, London – and reimagined by Foster + Partners Architects into a project comprised of 139 apartments as well as a Six Senses hotel & spa; all a short walk from Hyde Park.

Kelly used Chinese carpets in a few of the spaces – the perfect accompaniment to her punchy and eclectic style. Bold color and reflective surfaces juxtapose soft tones and subtle textures for a cohesive space which communicates harmony through contrast.

The moody sophistication of color rich spaces connect with the peacefully cultured opposition of the living areas - a yin and yang of energies for work and life. Richly subdued colors in the artwork, the accents, and the carpets bridge the two vibes.

Ready to get bold in your home? Here’s a whole pile of comparables for you to bring that Kelly Behun look to your floor.
