Checkerboard floors!

Checkerboard Floors in Hallways

An entrance hall calls for a statement and a proper introduction to the rest of the house… and what better to make a statement than a classic checkerboard floor.

The black and white version is traditional, but I prefer a soft gray marble along with the white to make a softer impact. It´s classy, elegant and looks beautiful with so many materials. Use nickel or brass hardware, black accents or lacquered pieces and beautiful wood furniture.

Custom Carpet – Chevron pattern

By on April 2, 2011 in Floors



I am working on a “Design Online” project in New York for a young family on the Upper West Side. It´s so great working on something in New York again with all the possibilities and endless resources. I am making a custom carpet at the moment and the sampling process starts monday. I can´t wait to get the strike-off to see the pattern and the color.. and most of all the texture. We´re making a chevron pattern on a cotton Dhurrie and I think it´s going to be great.

Here´s a picture of the pattern, however not the color. We are basing the color on Lulu DK´s Tulah print which is going to be on the headboard.
Stay tuned for more…
