Loving these yarns! Using the Chevron Delight pattern by Lora Marin. I'm working on this for one of my niece's wedding presents. The pattern is working up nicely and fairly quickly for my slow speed lol

Had to work on something while my work computer is bricked....

[cinderswife]

currently rotating rose red around in my brain so here's some outfits i designed for her (this is pre-meeting cinders btw)! bonus design notes under the cut :3

nude

i knew immediately that i wanted rose to be short and built like a brick shithouse. she is dense and compact and impossible to knock over. also, she gets to be a bear girl because everyone in my ouatis au is an animal eared person. its a fun concept i saw trawling the tumblr tag and i have decided it is very canon.

absolutely covered in freckles

yes those are top surgery scars. very recent in fact! its a cross between unrealized gender things and the pain of breasts that are just. too big. always.

her tail is usually too small to be seen from this angle but i wanted to show off her tiny red puff

most of her scars are from military combat with the exception of the top surgery scars and the one on her left hand which came from when she punched a window at the age of 15 defending snow from one of their dads getting super duper upset b/c snow was starting to date

she is 4'10" and so proud of it. will kick your ass if you're a dick about it

pajamas

nothing much to say here, she just. doesn't care all that much. tank top and sweat pants are the perfect combo of temperatures for her.

also she wears heart patterned boxers and we love her for that

military work uniform

do you know how hard it is to design a military uniform when you don't usually give a shit about the military. i spend so many hours going down worldbuilding subreddits and forums before i figured out something i was happy with. anyways! this is a non-combative officer's work uniform (aka the uniform rose wore when she was commander of the prison cinders was in). i picked red because it's the color most strongly associated with cole's army, but i figure that soldiers in combat would have better camouflage built into their uniforms.

the patch on her left shoulder (the one with the deer) is the symbol for colonel. it's also mirrored on a smaller scale on her breast. cole's army uses animals to mark higher ranks

the other shoulder patch marks her current assignment

i liked white as an accent color because of its prevalence in the album. also it looks nice!

the sleeve stripes and the chevrons both indicate that she is a very important officer

the other patches on her breast are the simplified coat of arms for her noble house (the house of grimm) and all of the medals she has earned in her 11 years of service

military dress uniform

the fancy version of her uniform for Events and Public Appearances. it's a bit darker in tone for the sake of visual interest and has a lot more accessories. this one was a nightmare to color i stg but i'm super happy with the way it turned out.

you get to see all her medals! she has complicated feelings on them but they are shiny and look very nice so.

the stripes, chevrons, and deer are all the same as the work uniform for some easy visual shorthand of her rank

the only time rose will ever wear a tie or any other neck decoration because it's regulation.

i liked the way a black undershirt looked over a white one, no other reason lol

the bear medal is because the bear is a symbol of her noble family. most people have a cougar of some sort instead.

the sword and the lion are both special awards granted specifically by cole. the lion in particular came from her first deployment where she accidentally changed the tides on the invasion of the perrault (cinders' planet) and became a war hero/propaganda piece at 19

the boots have buckles. they are never quite tight enough and its annoying.

casual dress

off duty, rose wears crisp, well tailored masc outfits. she knows how to dress herself to look effortlessly important due to being raised noble but she doesn't think too hard about it.

she wears shorts instead of full pants whenever she can get away with it. snow hates this.

no she is not buttoning up all the way. why would you make her put this much effort into it. she's hotter with it undone

fun fact: i initially made her vest and shorts green but i decided that blue looked nicer

fancy dress

i've elected to go with a 1700s inspired look for the nobility. it's very fairytale-esque and also allows me to have fun with it! i wanted to do more embroidery, but i wound up not having the patience for such a thing. ah well, what i've got looks nice enough.

rose usually wears cool colors in her formal outfits. this purple is a particular favorite of hers because it goes really nicely with her hair and ears without being obnoxious

once again, rose out here avoiding any sort of neck accessory or hat. accessories that annoy her for $10,000

the lilac undershirt is not connected to the off-white trousers it's two separate pieces.

the gold accents cut a very striking figure and also look very pretty <3

the boots are supposed to be longer and pointier but idk how well i pulled that off aha

she's very handsome and i love her

[Chapter 29] Seeing the World Through Ballistic-Tinted Glasses

Content Warning: Descriptions of violence and death.

A splitting headache drug you from the groggy sleeping world, opening dry eyes to meet the faded chevron pattern of the van you’d spent days in. Fingertips rose to run along those smooth metal rivets along the steel fuselage. Blinding daylight streaming in made your eyes sting, raising the back of your hand to shield your eyes. Wait, daylight? You blinked. The light was brighter than ever, making impossibly dry eyes squint to prevent the searing shine from before you.

Alertness finally clicked, and your raised hand slammed to the ground to rush yourself into an upright position. The van warped, now manifested into a dusty soccer field, pushing heavy rocks off your legs in a panicked response to gather your surroundings. Creeping, agonizing realization relentlessly crushed into your mind, and your vision locked on those blue eyes. 

“Mariya!” you blurted, scrambling to shove a stack of loose bricks off her, urgently brushing loose dust off her to identify any blooming red spots. 

Raw fear in a carnal gaze met you before your head whirled over your shoulder to spy, to your horror, a foreign masked soldier rising from a chasm in the wall. A detonation charge cracked open a meter-wide hole in a cavity below the stadium- some kind of underground tunnel. By the looks on the faces of your peers who scrambled upright beside you, the Elders weren’t aware of its existence either. Another shadow emerging behind the first, now recognizably armed with a rifle, you spurred into action.

This is one of those crossroads moments training tells you about. Sometimes, you’d have to make one of these split-second decisions that will determine your fate forever. You could surrender to the soldiers, raise your palms in submission and be exposed to interrogation, torture, or worse. There was another option, and that was to lunge at the armed figures in the hopes of buying precious seconds for your peers- it also increased the odds that you wouldn’t be taken for interrogation. 

An ear-splitting blast made your decision for you. The combination of choking dust in your nose, a deafening blast in your right ear, aching muscles and devastating visuals made you slam your eyes shut in the overstimulation of it all. It gave you precious milliseconds to gather yourself. Gather what protocol drilled into you at some point would be most applicable here. You’re still thinking, so that’s an indication that your head hasn’t been blown off your shoulders just yet. Eyes opened. Another blast made you flinch, but by the looks of the armed soldier in all black at the foot of the chasm’s entrance, you’ve earned a few more seconds to kickstart yourself into motion. The intruders bore no insignia or flags on their shoulders, just tactical gear layered over hoodies and windbreakers. The radio screamed into your ear, swinging your eyes around to identify your allies. 

“Cricket, take them to the locker rooms- cross the field and take the hall to your right. Now, now, now!” Price’s voice tore through your bones, spurring muscles into movement before your eyes could catch up. 

Another blast. There are 20, maybe 25 people whose eyes are wracked with shock. In this state of shock, they’re especially vulnerable to being picked off by these raiders. Now, they were your sole responsibility, thanks to a direct order from your Captain. You had to swallow your initial attempt to speak in English, reconnecting with the initial plan and setting with a foggy mind. 

“Follow me right now!” The first attempt to speak came out like a crackle thanks to clogging dust, but the second attempt tore over the faces of your direct audience, bringing wild eyes to meet yours. “Let’s go, Let’s go!”

Just like with Samantha climbing onto the helicopter, you can’t give people the time to evaluate their setting or bodily harm. You just have to whip them into motion, nipping at their heels and herding them to the intended destination. Your gaze locked onto a pair of broad doors just along the half line on the field, on the other side of the turf. It’s a mad dash across horrifyingly open territory, but the blasts over your shoulder suggested you had solid overwatch. Waving your arms and shouting the direction seemed to gather most people into a mad dash, giving you precious seconds to gather the ones who have yet to find their feet. 

At least one has fallen. A boulder of debris had hit one of the men clean in the side of the head as you refused to let your eyes linger on the spilling pool of blood under its weight. Eyes fell on Salt and Pepper, clutching a blooming wound on his lower abdomen, absorbing the brunt of a bullet fired from one of the emerging from the explosion site. Yet again, drilled instinct brought you to hook his shoulder behind your neck before you could blink. He was screaming in your ear, only momentarily deafened by another series of blasts. You could only pray that none of them had hit you, as pumping sheer adrenaline made your body numb. 

“I can’t-” Salt and Pepper groaned, clutching a gushing wound that trailed down his thigh. 

“You will.” You urged, raising eyes to meet the rest of the crowd as they had barely run halfway across the distance they needed to cross. 

He was too heavy, and every hobbling hop threatened to drag you down to meet the turf under his tremendous swaying force. Another blast. This time, an explosion of movement in your body made your heart stop. Looking down with despair, you saw no crimson, no bone. Salt and Pepper’s body going limp gave you the information you were searching for. There wasn't time to mourn or hold him in his fleeting final moments. Freed from his grip, your vision swung around to see the bullet that had lodged into the back of his neck and the gunman who was in pursuit. His body fell limp with a pink mist just before the blast from your peripheral caught up with your ears. Flickering up to the stands in the distance, you caught that white flash of a honing scope. Thank fuck for Ghost. 

Now, it was time to break into a cold sprint to reach those doors before you meet Salt and Pepper's fate. Freed from excess weight and hopped up on a lethal amount of adrenaline and hiking knees, you caught up with the remaining herd of cattle within seconds. Whooping and hollering, you urged the pack to slam past the doors - thank God they were unlocked - and take a scrambling turn to the hallway on the right. The change in floor texture from turf to tile made you fumble under a lack of traction. You could identify some of those pale faces beginning to fall on you from the corner of your eyes. A winding circuit of concrete and steel wound around in a route that guaranteed at least one certain circular path around the inner field. Your mind worked fast, shapes and colours falling into place as recognizable objects. The orange steel doors you identified as the locker rooms would be your best shot at a hiding spot for the time being.

Waving the flock through the locker room door, you didn’t have time to do a role call before you did one last flicker down both sides of the hallway and slammed the door shut. Stepping back, you blinked in shock as a pair of hulking men charged towards you armed with chairs and benches. Pushing past you, they stacked the wooden items under the door, firemen passing more to cover the frail lock. The burn of your heaving chest caught up with your senses as a pack of 20 odd eyes fell on you as you doubled over to catch your breath. Thrumming vision fell on scratchy tile floors, grey and worn from years of regular wear. No injuries, save for a crushing pain on the side of your right thigh and the lingering sting from your cheekbones. 

A fist fell on your throat, committing to squeeze the life from your throat as your eyes felt like they could pop out of your head. Heaving to catch your breath, you immediately halted as you met that square haircut of Mariya’s husband. He had a smatter of blood along his ear but was mostly covered in a thin layer of beige dust. 

“Was this you? ” he roared, raw berserk eyes promising to wring your neck for everything left in your screaming lungs. 

You didn’t exactly have the range of motion to shake your head no, and any attempts to speak came up emptyhanded as you could only mouth your response. The crushing weight didn’t relent, though your breath did. Black specs in your vision sweetly reminded you how peaceful a nap would be right now. A flash of plum purple on his shoulder forced life back into your lungs with gasping gulps. Sputtering coughs erupted from your throat, crumbling to your knees to coax your throat back into an open state. 

“It was the Cartel, Sergei! I know those uniforms- or lack thereof. They’ve been swarming the streets while you bastards have been hiding in this stadium,” Mariya scorned, slamming her palm into his shoulder. 

Their continued dialogue gave you enough time to grapple with the context of the room, and the shouting in your ear. Hooks and lockers that once held the uniforms of giggling children and practiced athletes now house a swarm of frazzled and volatile men, throwing their hands up in frustration as they continued their observations. Gaz’s voice cut into your ear, concurring with an order you never heard. Ghost said something about sweeping the ground floor and reconvening with Price on the West end. From behind the door, crackling gunfire reverberated off concrete walls, reaching your ears with a steady echo. Your mind lurched to hook onto something that was said in the conversation that unravelled before you. You swore you heard something like ‘We still have the transmission’ and ‘Where’s the USB?’. 

“What - What transmission?” A raw voice came from your throat. 

“That’s none of your goddamn business.” The guy in the checkered shirt chastised you from behind the crowd. 

“I am not your fucking enemy,” you blurted, spitting back crackling nerves that still surged with adrenaline. “It’s like Mariya said, we’re being ambushed by the Russian Cartel. They were shooting at all of us.” 

You bit back the urge to clarify that it was your sniper that saved them from being pumped full of lead, but raising suspicion wouldn’t aid your situation. Instead, you just worked with the assumed belief of luck, assuming cartel raiders’ heads just happen to have a habit of exploding into a fine pink mist. Raising to your feet, you refused to let damaged pride and cheekbones hold you back from pressing the issue. 

“I’m a linguist by trade. If you let me see this transmission, I might be able to get some vital information.” 

“There are no tapes, or-... transmissions.” Mariya’s husband stated blankly with furrowed brows. A Freudian slip accidentally revealed additional information, courtesy of his cracking voice.  

Bull. 

More pops of gunshots peppered the silence, hearing thumping footsteps catch onto your senses as they trudged closer to your position. It sounded like a group of footsteps, maybe five, but it’s impossible to say. Nerves spiked as a caught gaze from one of your peers concurred with your creeping dread. 

“First floor clear, descending to ground level. 0-7 and 7-1 are now on the way to Cricket’s position.” Ghost’s voice spoke into your ear, catching a swift copy from Price.

“We have to exfil Cricket before the Barricade troops and the military find her position.” Gaz’s voice added, hearing more distant pops before he closed his microphone. 

“This is Eagle Actual, we’re 0-2 minutes from your position 141. Once we touch turf, we gotta’ hightail it out of here before the Ukrainian military has this place surrounded.” Grave’s voice retorted, hearing chopping helicopter blades in the background of his transmission.

Okay. Let’s think. The Elders will be significantly more compliant with their home government now that they know they've been watching over the their wives and kids in their absense. Now, the Cartel doesn't have hostages over them too. The Elders still won’t trust the military with key information though, which could cost them the upper hand in stopping a hostile takeover from the Cartel. They'll never surrender the people's control over Verdansk. You can’t just let this opportunity slip through the cracks. You’ve come too far just to fumble at the last hurdle. Solidifying your resolve and relaxing your shoulders, you prepared to pressure these men while they’re still considering their allegiances. 

“Is this what you want? Verdansk to be pillaged and torn apart by three grabbing hands? If we work together, we can stop this conflict from escalating, and you all know damn we’re aiming towards civil war.” You shouted confidently, even catching you off guard, speaking over popping gunshells echoing louder and louder. 

More silence, dozens of skeptical eyes staring through you, only now, some of them were tainted with desperation and compassion. Most of these men were fathers, and by the looks of their clothing and un-calloused hands, they probably weren’t even soldiers either. They were tired. Utterly exhausted from months of holding their ground in this stadium, months spent away from their loved ones, months spent thinking their wives and kids are in the hands of people who want them to suffer.

“If you won’t accept militaristic help, that’s fine. But let us help you with what we can, and we’ll expect nothing in return. No statues or reimbursements. We’re only doing this because we have a common goal, and frankly, we don’t trust you either.” Your voice cut loud and deep through the room of eyes that momentarily flickered with the offence, then contemplation, then unreadable blank expressions as you continued. “We all can’t afford to see this violent cartel take hold of a vital military base.”

“We have an open transmission that was snuck in from a turncoat.” Another man, a man you hadn’t recognized before, spoke up. 

Deep wrinkles creased around his cheeks and pale eyes, and the way the others parted around him when he spoke suggested his words held some significant social value. He had kind eyes and bloody fists, an oxymoron that unsettled you to your core and somehow simultaneously inspired you to trust his words. Something in the stoic look on his face when he's speaking so gravely reminded you of Chucky.

“We know it’s saying something important, but we have no clue what they’re saying. It’s a language we don’t understand…” he continued, stepping forward and approaching you as you tilted your chin to meet him. 

“I’ll have a look. I will crack it,” you met his pale grey eyes with matching intensity, “and when I do, I'll share what we learn. You have my word.”

“Cricket we’re at your position, we gotta’ get out of here,” Ghost’s voice spoke into your ear, though you resisted letting it startle you in favour of retaining this man’s grave stare. 

A pounding at the door made everyone’s heads snap to the sound, except for yours and the stranger’s. You two were locked in a deadlock like he was testing your metal to scrutinize your integrity. There was no way to communicate to Ghost that pounding on the door risked damaging your rapport of gathering crucial information, and a thin layer of sweat was under your slick jacket. More pounding. A searing gaze. The pressure in the room was electric. 

“Take it and go,” he flicked a USB out of his pocket, eliciting furrowed brows and frowns from the crowd, “ ‘We’ is waiting.”

Words couldn’t express the relief that surged through your bones. A slight prick of horror as you realized he recognized your team’s intrusion from the start, but overall, it was sheer solace. It felt like an orgasm, a cigarette, and a breath of fresh air all at once. Screeching wood finally snipped the simmering tension between the two of you as you muttered a wordless thank you and slipped the red USB into your back pocket.

From Floor to Ceiling: How to Design a Room That Draws the Eye

When it comes to interior design, every inch of a room holds potential to tell a story, create ambiance, and guide the eye. A well-designed room doesn’t just look good—it feels cohesive, draws attention to key features, and creates visual interest from the floor to the ceiling. From the choice of flooring to the color on your walls and the details above your head, every element can play a role in making a room captivating.

Here’s how to design a space that seamlessly draws the eye from floor to ceiling, making every aspect of the room feel intentional and engaging.

1. Start with the Floor: The Foundation of Your Space

The floor is the foundation of any room, setting the tone for everything above it. The material you choose—be it hardwood, tile, carpet, or even concrete—can impact the room’s mood and style. A statement floor can anchor the design, drawing the eye to the ground level, while a more neutral choice can allow other elements of the room to shine.

For a bold look, consider patterned tiles or a colorful rug. Herringbone or chevron wood floors can create visual intrigue, while intricate floor tiles can act as a piece of art in the room. If you prefer something more subtle, choose a floor with a muted color or texture, like a soft-toned carpet or light oak wood, to allow other design features to stand out.

Pro Tip: Use rugs to define zones in an open-plan space or add color and texture to a neutral floor. A large, eye-catching rug can create a strong focal point, while smaller rugs can add visual layers.

2. Layer with Texture and Color on the Walls

Once you've set the tone with your floor, the walls provide a vast canvas for creativity. The color, texture, and design of your walls can influence the overall vibe of the room and guide how the eye moves through the space.

Start with the paint color: Light tones like whites, soft grays, or pastels can make a room feel airy and open, while deeper hues, like navy, charcoal, or rich greens, can create intimacy and drama. If you want a more dynamic look, consider an accent wall in a bold color or wallpaper with striking patterns. Textured wall treatments like shiplap, wainscoting, or even a wall of exposed brick can introduce depth and visual interest.

Additionally, wall art can serve as an essential focal point. One large statement piece—like a striking painting, vintage mirror, or oversized photo—can draw attention to the middle of the room, while smaller, grouped artworks can guide the eye around the space.

Pro Tip: If you want to make the room feel taller, opt for vertical stripes or wall treatments that draw the eye upwards. On the other hand, horizontal lines can make a room feel more expansive and grounded.

3. Furniture Placement: Create Visual Flow

Furniture placement is one of the most powerful tools in guiding the eye around a room. The arrangement of your furniture should lead to natural focal points while creating a sense of flow. Start by positioning larger pieces like sofas, beds, or bookshelves in relation to the room’s most dominant feature—whether it's a fireplace, a large window with a view, or a striking piece of art.

For a balanced look, keep furniture at least a few inches away from the walls. This small shift can create a feeling of space and allow the eye to flow freely across the room without interruption. In smaller rooms, consider using multi-functional or modular furniture to make the most of the available space.

Additionally, consider how the scale and proportion of furniture interact with the room. Oversized furniture can draw attention but might overwhelm the space, while smaller, more streamlined pieces allow for the room's other features to take center stage.

Pro Tip: Use symmetry or asymmetry strategically when arranging furniture. For example, a symmetrical layout works well around a central point like a fireplace, while asymmetrical arrangements can create a more dynamic, energetic space.

4. Lighting: Highlight Features and Add Depth

Lighting isn’t just functional—it’s also one of the most effective ways to guide the eye through a room and create a layered, dynamic space. The right lighting can emphasize key design elements like art, architectural details, or furniture, while also influencing the overall mood.

Start by considering your light sources. Ambient lighting (like overhead ceiling lights or recessed lighting) provides general illumination, but accent lighting (such as table lamps, sconces, or floor lamps) helps to highlight features and create depth. Use task lighting in areas like the kitchen, reading corners, or desks to focus attention where it's needed.

For more dramatic effects, consider statement lighting fixtures like a chandelier, pendant lights, or a sculptural light piece. A stunning chandelier can serve as a centerpiece that draws the eye upwards, giving the room a sense of grandeur and elegance.

Pro Tip: Use dimmable lights and layered lighting techniques to adjust the ambiance for different times of day. Layering light creates depth and interest, preventing the room from feeling flat.

5. Add Vertical Interest: Don't Forget the Ceiling

The ceiling is often an overlooked element of room design, but it offers a fantastic opportunity to add another layer of visual interest. A bold ceiling treatment can make a room feel more expansive, luxurious, or even cozy.

For a dramatic effect, consider painting the ceiling a darker color than the walls, or using wallpaper with a subtle pattern. Wood paneling, exposed beams, or even intricate crown molding can add texture and depth. Alternatively, statement light fixtures like chandeliers or pendant lights can draw attention upward and create a feeling of vertical space.

Pro Tip: Use a statement ceiling fixture in the center of the room to guide the eye upward. This can create an elegant focal point that adds character to the room’s design.

6. Incorporate Greenery and Art to Anchor the Space

One of the simplest yet most effective ways to create visual interest and depth is by incorporating plants and artwork into your design. Plants add natural color, texture, and life, while art gives the space a personal touch and reinforces the room’s mood.

Large plants like fiddle-leaf figs or snake plants can create a dramatic focal point, while smaller plants can be grouped together to form a layered vignette on bookshelves, mantels, or tables. If you have high ceilings, consider using tall plants to create a sense of scale.

Incorporating art throughout the room can also draw the eye and keep it moving. Whether it’s a gallery wall or a few well-placed pieces, the placement and style of art can significantly influence the room’s focal points.

Pro Tip: Use plants and art to balance the size of furniture. A large sofa may be complemented by a tall plant or a large art piece above it, creating a sense of proportion and visual equilibrium.

7. Create a Sense of Rhythm: Repetition and Contrast

Creating rhythm in your room design is about creating patterns that naturally guide the eye. This can be achieved through repetition, where certain design elements or colors appear multiple times throughout the space. For example, matching pillows or coordinating artwork can add visual harmony, while contrasting these with more dynamic elements—like an unexpected pop of color or a bold pattern—creates interest.

Incorporating repeating elements with variety is key. Think of a room where different textures and colors are repeated (a color palette of black and white with gold accents), but no two pieces are identical. This helps to maintain balance without feeling too uniform or predictable.

Pro Tip: When repeating design elements, vary the scale or orientation slightly to keep things visually dynamic and engaging.

Conclusion

Why Parquet Flooring Is Making a Comeback: Styles and Installation Tips

Why Parquet Flooring Is Making a Comeback: Styles and Installation Tips

Parquet flooring, once a hallmark of elegant homes and grand spaces, is experiencing a revival as homeowners and designers rediscover its timeless appeal and versatility. Known for its geometric patterns and artistic flair, parquet offers a unique way to bring character and sophistication to any room. In this blog, we’ll explore why parquet flooring is making a comeback, the different styles available, and tips for installation to help you incorporate this classic flooring trend into your home.

1. The Resurgence of Parquet Flooring

Parquet flooring has a rich history dating back to the 17th century, where it adorned the halls of French palaces and stately homes. Its popularity waned in the late 20th century, but today, parquet is making a strong comeback as homeowners seek distinctive, stylish flooring options that stand out from conventional planks.

Why Parquet? The intricate patterns of parquet flooring add a sense of luxury and craftsmanship that is hard to match. Unlike traditional strip flooring, parquet’s geometric designs create visual interest and can be used to highlight architectural features or define different areas within a space.

Modern Appeal: Today’s parquet floors come in a variety of materials and finishes, from classic oak to more exotic woods, offering flexibility in design and application. Advances in manufacturing have also made parquet more accessible and easier to install, making it a viable option for modern homes.

2. Popular Parquet Styles

Parquet flooring is available in a range of styles, each with its own unique look and feel. Here are some of the most popular patterns:

Herringbone: One of the most classic parquet patterns, herringbone features short planks laid in a zigzag pattern. It’s ideal for creating a sense of movement and can make small spaces appear larger.

Chevron: Similar to herringbone, but with the ends of the planks cut at an angle to create a continuous V pattern. Chevron adds a sleek, modern touch to any room.

Basket Weave: This pattern interlaces planks in a woven design, reminiscent of a woven basket. It’s perfect for adding texture and a subtle, yet distinct, visual interest.

Versailles: Named after the famous palace, this pattern consists of squares within squares, creating a more elaborate and traditional look. It’s perfect for grand, formal spaces.

Brickwork: Mimicking the look of a brick wall, this pattern involves laying planks in an offset grid. It’s simpler than other parquet designs but still offers a unique, structured appearance.

3. Installation Tips for Parquet Flooring

Installing parquet flooring requires precision and attention to detail to achieve the best results. Here are some expert tips for a successful parquet installation:

Proper Subfloor Preparation: As with any flooring installation, a smooth, clean, and level subfloor is crucial. Parquet patterns can accentuate any unevenness, so thorough preparation is essential.

Plan the Layout: Before installation, plan the layout carefully to ensure that the pattern starts and ends in a balanced and visually pleasing way. Use spacers to maintain consistent gaps and ensure that the pattern aligns correctly.

Use the Right Adhesive: Parquet floors are typically glued down, so using a high-quality adhesive is important for securing the planks and preventing movement. Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for the best results.

Professional Installation: Given the complexity of parquet patterns, professional installation is highly recommended. At Artisan Flooring, our experienced installers ensure that every plank is placed with precision, resulting in a flawless finish.

4. Maintenance and Care

Parquet flooring is relatively easy to maintain, but a few simple steps can keep it looking its best:

Regular Cleaning: Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove dust and debris that can scratch the surface. Use a damp mop with a wood-safe cleaner for deeper cleaning.

Protect from Moisture: Parquet is sensitive to moisture, so avoid excessive water when cleaning. Place mats at entrances to prevent water and dirt from being tracked onto the floor.

Refinishing: Over time, parquet floors can be sanded and refinished to restore their original beauty. This allows you to refresh the finish or even change the stain colour to match evolving decor.

Hardscapes Pavers: Elevating Your Outdoor Living Spaces

Introduction

Hardscape pavers are the cornerstone of beautiful, functional outdoor spaces. From creating elegant walkways and patios to designing durable driveways, pavers offer homeowners endless possibilities to customize their landscapes. Their versatility, durability, and aesthetic appeal make them a popular choice for transforming yards into outdoor oases. Let’s explore the unique benefits of hardscape pavers, creative design ideas, and essential tips for choosing the right paver style for your space.

1. The Benefits of Hardscape Pavers

Hardscape pavers bring numerous advantages, making them a favorite for landscaping projects.

Durability: Pavers are made from sturdy materials like concrete, stone, and brick, which can withstand heavy traffic and harsh weather, ensuring a lasting solution.

Low Maintenance: Unlike other outdoor flooring options, pavers are easy to maintain. They resist staining and cracking, making upkeep simple and stress-free.

Design Flexibility: With countless shapes, sizes, colors, and patterns, pavers allow you to achieve any design style you desire, from classic to contemporary.

Eco-Friendly Drainage: Permeable pavers allow rainwater to filter through, reducing runoff and promoting groundwater recharge.

2. Popular Hardscape Paver Applications

Here are some of the most common and stunning ways to use pavers in your landscape:

Patios: A paver patio creates an inviting area for lounging, dining, and entertaining. Consider large, neutral-colored pavers for a modern look, or go with cobblestone for a charming, rustic feel.

Walkways: Paver walkways add structure and flow to your garden or yard. Use curved designs with natural stone for a more organic feel, or opt for geometric layouts for a contemporary vibe.

Driveways: Pavers are an excellent choice for driveways due to their durability and visual appeal. Choose high-quality materials like brick or concrete for a classic look that’s built to last.

Pool Decks: Pavers provide a slip-resistant, cool-to-the-touch surface around pools. Opt for lighter colors that reflect heat, creating a comfortable and safe poolside experience.

3. Creative Design Ideas for Hardscape Pavers

With so many choices, it’s easy to find paver styles that fit your aesthetic and functional needs.

Mix Materials: Combine different paver materials, such as concrete and natural stone, to create visually interesting patterns and textures.

Herringbone and Chevron Patterns: For a dynamic look, lay pavers in herringbone or chevron patterns. These styles work well for driveways and walkways, adding both visual interest and stability.

Bordering and Inlays: Define areas with contrasting borders or intricate inlays. This approach can add sophistication to patios and walkways, making them stand out.

Fire Pit Surrounds: Create a cozy focal point in your outdoor space with a paver surround around a fire pit, using colors and textures that complement your overall landscape design.

4. Choosing the Right Paver Material

Selecting the right paver material for your project is essential for durability and design cohesion.

Concrete Pavers: Durable and available in various shapes and colors, concrete pavers are a versatile choice. They can mimic stone and are an affordable option for larger projects.

Natural Stone Pavers: Stone pavers like flagstone, bluestone, and travertine bring a timeless, elegant appeal to outdoor spaces. While more expensive, they offer a premium look and durability.

Brick Pavers: Classic and charming, brick pavers work well for traditional and rustic designs. They offer a warm, earthy tone and age beautifully with time.

Porcelain Pavers: Ideal for modern spaces, porcelain pavers are sleek, water-resistant, and available in numerous patterns, making them a great choice for pool areas and patios.

5. Tips for Installing and Maintaining Hardscape Pavers

Proper installation and maintenance are key to ensuring the longevity and beauty of your pavers.

Foundation and Leveling: Begin with a solid foundation of compacted gravel and sand to prevent shifting and settling.

Seal the Pavers: Applying a sealant helps prevent staining and preserves the color. Reseal every few years to keep them looking fresh.

Regular Cleaning: Sweep pavers regularly to prevent debris buildup and wash them with mild soap and water as needed to remove stains.

Weed Control: Apply polymeric sand between paver joints to prevent weed growth, adding both stability and an attractive finish.

Conclusion: Transform Your Outdoor Spaces with Hardscape Pavers

Hardscapes pavers offer endless possibilities to customize your outdoor areas. Whether you’re looking to add a sophisticated patio, a stylish walkway, or a durable driveway, pavers provide both functionality and flair. By choosing high-quality materials and creative designs, you can enhance your landscape’s appeal and create outdoor spaces that are both beautiful and long-lasting.

Weave can be used to make a variety of materials depending on the material used, here artist Randy Walker has used weave in an urban environment to create a unique effect that mirrors the way that nature creeps into urban environments and adds colour and complexity to the landscape. The piece passage shows woven ribbon overtop of an abandoned railway bridge that is now a footpath, this mirrors the way that ivy and trees work to weave through man made structures and create tunnels. The second piece field weave is similar to how the urban environment is full of sharp lines and dark colours compared to the rural environment that is full of light colours and flowing shapes.

I have chosen to look at Walker’s work because it is similar to how nature weaves its way into urban environments adding colour to an otherwise dark environment.

Like his work I have made a piece which represents the way that nature weaves through buildings using bright colours to represent nature and dark colours to represent buildings. I have used a brick red yarn to create the look of brickwork, then I have used green yarn to add stripes through to represent the grass growing through the brick. I have also used a black yarn to represent the outside floor tiles and their pattern and how they are all laid uniformly, to do this I used a chart that marked which threads to lift and which to leave down in order to weave under and over certain threads to create a pattern, I have created a chevron pattern using a lift chart that displayed four rows that repeat to create a pattern.

Weave work creates a fabric that can be recreated using the same lift patterns and so allowed for one piece to be recreated over and over to make a larger piece, however, weave does require a lot of work due to its labour-intensive process to move the warp threads up and down.

If I was to develop this further I would continue to use the 1/3 twill zig zag lift pattern to create a tile floor effect using contrasting weave and warp threads to create a clear pattern that represents paving tiles, I would then work into the piece using other techniques such as hand embroidery.

Modern Texture Paint Designs: Elevate Your Space with Contemporary Style

When it comes to transforming your living space, few things have the power to make as dramatic a statement as modern texture paint designs. These innovative designs not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of your interiors but also add a touch of sophistication and contemporary flair. Whether you're updating a single room or giving your entire home a fresh look, modern texture paint designs offer a range of options that cater to various tastes and preferences. In this blog, we’ll explore the latest trends in modern texture paint designs and provide inspiration to help you achieve a stylish and unique look.

What Are Modern Texture Paint Designs?

Modern texture paint designs are contemporary techniques used to create visually interesting surfaces on walls. Unlike traditional flat paint, texture paint adds depth and dimension, making walls stand out as a focal point in any room. These designs can range from subtle, sophisticated textures to bold, dramatic patterns, allowing for a variety of creative expressions.

Popular Modern Texture Paint Designs

Geometric Patterns Geometric patterns are a popular choice for modern interiors. They use sharp lines and shapes to create a structured and dynamic look. For example, a feature wall with a hexagonal or chevron pattern can serve as a striking backdrop in a living room or bedroom. Geometric texture paint designs often involve layering different colors or finishes to enhance the visual impact.

Concrete and Cement Finishes Concrete and cement texture paints are perfect for achieving an industrial or urban chic look. These finishes can mimic the raw, unfinished appearance of concrete or cement surfaces, adding an edgy, modern touch to your decor. This style works well in lofts, studios, and contemporary homes, where a rugged, minimalist aesthetic is desired.

Metallic and Pearlized Effects Metallic and pearlized texture paints bring a touch of luxury and elegance to any space. These paints reflect light in a way that adds shimmer and shine, creating a sophisticated atmosphere. Metallic finishes are ideal for accent walls or feature areas, such as behind a headboard or in a dining room.

Abstract and Artistic Textures For a more personalized and artistic touch, abstract texture paint designs allow for creative freedom. These designs can include splatters, brush strokes, or layered effects that give the impression of a hand-painted piece of art. Abstract textures are perfect for creating unique feature walls or adding character to a room.

Natural Stone and Brick Effects If you love the look of natural materials but want something more versatile, texture paints that mimic stone or brick can be an excellent choice. These finishes can replicate the appearance of stone or brick without the weight and expense of real materials, making them a practical option for both modern and traditional interiors.

Tips for Choosing the Right Modern Texture Paint Design

Consider the Room's Function The function of the room can influence your choice of texture paint design. For high-traffic areas like hallways and living rooms, opt for durable finishes that can withstand wear and tear. In more relaxed spaces like bedrooms, you can experiment with softer textures and colors.

Match with Existing Decor Ensure that your chosen texture paint design complements your existing decor. Consider the color palette, furniture, and overall theme of the room. For instance, if your room features a minimalist decor, a subtle texture like a matte finish may work best.

Test Samples Before committing to a full wall, test samples of your chosen texture paint designs. Apply small sections to see how they look in different lighting conditions and against other elements in the room.

Hire a Professional While some texture paint designs can be DIY projects, others might require professional application to achieve the best results. Hiring a skilled painter can ensure that the texture is applied evenly and correctly, providing a high-quality finish.

Conclusion

Modern texture paint designs offer a fantastic way to elevate your space and make a statement. With a variety of options ranging from geometric patterns to natural stone effects, there’s a texture design to suit every style and preference. By considering the function of the room, matching with existing decor, and testing samples, you can achieve a stunning and contemporary look that transforms your living space into a stylish haven.
