burmatex have launched a new multilevel loop design, tiltnturn.

The inspiration for tiltnturn is based on how light catches different planes within architectural structures. There are many reasons why this was such a strong starting point in the development of this new design. Firstly, these reflections bring life to solid colour. Secondly, pops of light and shade sit alongside harmonising mid tones. Thirdly, as the product is installed, soft angles and areas of calm emerge to create a unique effect in each space.

The character of tiltnturn is smooth transitions from darker tones to lighter tones. These reflect the amazing effects of light and shadow which surround us every day. All colours work alone, as well as grouped together. In addition, tiltnturn complements furniture and finishes within each project.

There is a single project which sums up the inspiration for this range.  Shown below, it is the International Centre for the Arts Jose de

This post is looking at all things pink as part of our ongoing colour focus series.

Pink has had a resurgence in popularity over the past few years; specifically one shade, millennial pink. However, it could be that millennial pink has reached it’s peak and is on the downwards trend now. Most trend forecasts predict that deeper, richer pinks will come into favour for the upcoming seasons. At burmatex, pink is a great accent colour for us, it works so well with our tonal palettes of beige and grey but also can be used boldly on it’s own.

This week we have loved catching up on all of our tagged photographs on Instagram. We find it so inspiring to see our carpet tiles in completed projects and used in different installation options. Below are a few favourites from the past couple of months…

In this post, we are showing ideas for how carpet tiles can allow you to zone different areas. Whether you want to respond to the current social distanced climate or just need to allocate areas of an interior space, we hope the below images are of help and inspiration!

We work on many design plans at burmatex but it isn’t something we share all that often.  Seeing this article from Dezeen though, gave us the idea to delve into our archives and create this post; sharing another part of our design process.

The above plan uses Tivoli and Tivoli mist to section off areas with a bright blue colour. Tivoli mist is so effective here as it softly zones areas.

The above plan uses Tivoli planks and Tivoli mist planks to subtly grade from one area to another.

Ultimate Gray is a cool and calm mid grey while Illuminating is a bright yet muted yellow. Pantone describe the pairing as:

“Practical and rock solid but at the same time warming and optimistic”.

“It is a story of colour that encapsulates deeper feelings of thoughtfulness with the promise of something sunny and friendly”.

At burmatex, we are always looking to trends to help us with the colouration of new ranges, the refreshing of existing ranges or to inspire us on how to mix and match products in design schemes. In the two mood-boards below we have explored how Ultimate Gray and Illuminating could be used; in either a warm or cool fashion. Warm feels very on trend and cozy, where
