Is a floor covering the main character in a room or a supporting character? This is one of the questions our designers ponder as they embark on a new project. For them every carpet is a work of art on the floor but they always remain aware of their client’s bigger picture.

Creative Matters’ skill at selecting and blending colour for carpets is considered among the very best in the world. It brings a lot of repeat business including from an international high end chain of boutiques who rely on us to choose the “clean” colours that correspond to their brand’s highly-tuned aesthetic. 

For the Ritz-Carlton Mexico City’s exquisite corridor carpet inspired by traditional sacred smoke rituals and how they cleanse the body and mind, note how the elegant movement from one shape to the next carries you down the corridor. This applies to any of the ten floors even though each is structured differently. For every floor we prepared a detailed technical layout indicating where seams in the carpet could be hidden without interfering with the design.

When designing custom floor coverings for interior spaces, we are highly aware how lighting can affect the way in which the content (wool, silk, shiny nylon, etc.) and the colour appear in its final location. When planning the carpets for the recently-completed Pendry Manhattan West hotel, the interior designer made us well aware of the detailed lighting plan for each of the locations within the hotel.

Not only is this Creative Matters carpet for the foyer at Four Seasons Resort Whistler a stunning design, it is also made in the woven Axminster method of construction that will ensure the carpet stays looking this good for many years to come. Many carpets use both pile and backing that provide acceptable durability but it’s the weaving element of construction that sets Axminster apart.
