It's easy to unwind in the elegant media room of this Hamptons waterfront retreat.

In this high contrast space, designer Shawn Henderson achieves a balance between the dark and colorfully moody wall/sofa color, and the lighter off-white components that is both striking and soothing.

Henderson uses soft textural elements to add some cozy depth while a linear rigidity draws the eye upwards and across the room allowing one to really take in the entire space.

This is the kind of room that indulges the senses and makes you want to touch everything - to feel the contrast of solid and soft - and to get lost in the wind blowing through the branches outside of the windows.

If I had the perfect adult tree house, this would be it!

The carpet, design number 16058B from our Ingrain Collection, has a sort of natural vibe that is both texturally interesting, and incredibly durable - ready for whatever life brings it's way.

Loving on this space? Here's a closer look at the carpet that grounds it. Upon inspection one can see how the weave itself creates interest that is both intriguing and tough.

Jesse Carrier and Mara Miller of Carrier and Co set the stage for a holiday season of festivities, with gratitude for the warmth of good company, the richness of shared laughter, and the beauty of a table ready to welcome many.

A sense of calmness exudes from the mix of soft blues, ivories, and creams found repetitively used in varying facades and fabrics that is accented by the edge of reflective light upon surfaces as sun pours through the large windows.

There’s a juxtaposition of textures between the large scale of the ceiling and the small scale of the rug that leads the eye from top to bottom of this space, featuring design number 9026A from our High-Low Collection.

A textural carpet provides an additional layer of depth to any room. Ready to get textural? Check out our High-Low Collection and give us a call to get started.

This fun bedroom by Fox Nahem Associates uses varying textures and circular forms to create a playfully layered space - the thick knit throw blanket playing off of the bubbly stool, the hand crocheted headboard adornments by Tammy Kanat texturally pairing with the hooked carpet. A circular vase sits atop a round mirrored side table to reflect all of these circles in obscure ways.

Unironically, this well rounded room is grounded by the colorful circles of design number 1174F from our American Hooked Rug Collection.

The 1174 series spins the circle into different vibes by playing with color combination and rigidity of form. It goes from playful, to sophisticated, to calming, to strong and serious. Have a look at some of the other variations on the design.

Candace Hicks, associate professor of art in the School of Art at Stephen F. Austin State University, has captivated our attention with some of her unique textile art series.

Notes for String Theory is a series of the very familiar composition book pages we all know from gradeschool - a symbol of learning and processing thoughts.

“These hand-embroidered pages confront the existential possibilities of the blank page,” Hicks explains. “The size, format and color palette of notebook paper are familiar and warped at the same time. From across the room, they appear as flat, linear designs, but upon closer inspection reveal themselves to be delicately textured.”

The warped lines evoke a sense of wonder, of what can be if we alter the process. There is chaos yet beauty in the linear movement on the altered pages - much in the same way we face the unexpected possibilities of daily life.

Similarly, the series "Love Note to Linear Perspective" takes the same concepts and applies them to paper - the material guiding the process, and therefore the end result - cut pieces exploding out and exploring time and space in it's many forms.

Her work in the series "Common Threads" brings our attention back to the words on a page in 146 intricately hand-embroidered books containing illustrations and a plethora of texts "documenting her life in a universe of literary and pop-cultural coincidences".

There's always something compelling about the time it takes to hand stitch a work of art - it's a delicate, sometimes painstaking process wracked with mistakes, learning, and improvement - stitches ripped and re-sewn as past choices are no longer quite right for this work; an art of microcosm macrocosm.

In these works, Candace embraces thoughts of the universe, the unknown, life as we know it, connection, and possibility and puts her stitch in time.
