In this Vero Beach home featured in Southern Home Magazine, Marissa Stokes ID whips up a bright and cheerful tribute to light and airy Florida vibes - combining the bright shades of white which layer like clouds in their subtle depths, the blues and blue greens which call to the essence of the ocean, and the light colored woods which draw upon images of driftwood upon the sandy shore in the mind's perception.
The classic pattern of the carpet on the family room floor, and its variation in hues pair perfectly with this particular beach town vibe - on the classy side of casual.
The custom colors of the rug pick up the brightness of blue skies over blue green waters on the Floridian coast.
The hooked rug has continued to prove itself in a variety of applications - its base materials and weave offer a durability and underfoot experience that is perfectly suited for waterside properties.
The 1002 series from our American Hooked Rug Collection has been imagined and reimagined in so many colors, materials, and scales - it truly is a timeless design that keeps on reinventing itself with a variety of interior relationships.
There is however, something about the neutrals, blues, and greens that really seem to appeal to people, and there's a tonal rainbow of these combinations to show for it.
How would you reimagine the colors in this design?

The master bedroom of this coastal Nantucket home by Nina Liddle Design began with the rug. Texturally compelling, American Hooked Rugs pair with other weaves easily, often bridging the gap between multiple tactile finishes. There's also a durability for a lifetime of use, and that clean edge that pile rugs lack.
Design number 1202A2 from our American Hooked Rug Collection has that perfect sailor vibe to it's color way and lines - a great base for a coastal space. The pattern pairs beautifully with Christopher Farr Cloth's "Punch Paisley" with the contrast of forms and opposing ratios of blues and whites playing in fanciful juxtaposition with each other.
The white boucle upholstery by Rosemary Hallgarten sort of grounds it all with serene reprise. It's natural texture playing off the earthy wallpaper's own grain and hue. A subtle pinnacle of interest is the light fixture, drawing on coastal elements to transport us mentally to the shore.
I can almost hear the waves crashing gently, can't you?
There's something about the clean finish of a hooked weave that really pairs so nicely with waterside vibes. Here's a few that might bring you sailing.
As spring finally brings us some warmer weather, as the sun shines and the flowers bloom, I find myself drawn towards the fresh air and the new growth. Similarly, in art, I find myself drawn to landscapes and floral elements. Being a textile nerd, when the two combine, it's exactly what I'm looking for.
Here's a little bit of spring embroidery art I've found on instagram recently.
Textural and tiny, these little landscapes have a big impact. There's something about miniaturizing that is so compelling; perhaps it's because it forces us to look closer to see the intricacy of detail.
I rather enjoy the explorative nature of this artist, the way embellishments of non-thread elements such as lace and shell bring us further into the scene.
Theres an elegant delicacy to these floral bursts - their composition and color choices incredibly soothing - like that perfect spring breeze on a sunny day.
I'm continually inspired and amazed at what people are able to do with a needle and thread. Who is your favorite embroidery artist that you've found?
In an upper east side apartment in NYC, designer Ryan Lawson takes the artistic flair of his clients and creatively constructs a clean and mature space to highlight their tastefully eclectic collections. Curious elements draw the eye and capture our attention to focus one in, or whisk one away, on a journey of the mind.
Simple things, like that perfectly mellow wall color paired with reflective surfaces, smooth lines, and easygoing textures express a sense of comfort in this modern living room.
Grounding all these perfectly styled elements is a textural silk carpet. The small scaled high-low repeat pattern and natural hues play harmoniously with the photos above the sofa bringing us easily into a frame of peaceful thought.
The 9018 series from our High-Low has a confident appeal in any color. Which one is your favorite?

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.
