Egyptian style evokes a mystical civilization that was characterized by
great conceptual neutrality, rooted by such unique gods.
Ancient Egypt has always been a place
that we have fallen in love with. Its mythology and culture are an attraction to many around the world;
at least, in the idyllic image that we keep of this place. The Egyptian style is always trendy for
decoration and design, and we would like to give you some ideas, inspired in this magnificent culture
that you can create by installing our floors at your Philadephia home.
Egyptian floors and deco in your home
You can have ancient Egypt in your own home by just adding some elements, like a
new floor. Thanks to interior design, the spaces of your home will have the limits that the ones you
set.
Hieroglyphs for floors, walls and other elements in the decoration
space
Hieroglyphs are elements used frequently in decoration based on this style. These
are descriptive symbols in which stories were told. You can, hang them on frames and rugs on the walls
of your house. The lamps and Egyptian statues will be essential to complement the decoration of your new
Egyptian space.
Colors for floors and walls are minimalistic
Colors are very
important to start because Egyptian Style is filled with vivid colors, in a very unique combination.
Black, white and gold are the most used, because ancient Egyptians were very elegant, and they loved to
combine these to create a very magnificent environment. To create contrast and as a background, you can
use pale colors and sandstone tones. But what we recommend is that you choose gold or black as the main
color.
Furniture and other elements in decoration
The level of sophistication of
the furniture from Pharaonic Egypt can only be matched by Imperial Rome, there is nothing like it
nowadays. We know furniture well through pieces that have been preserved intact in tombs, through
paintings inside them or through sculpture.
For the furniture, the most suitable will be
sideboards, tables and shelves made of wood or painted in gold. To decorate the walls, hang pictures of
Egyptian landscapes. The murals are elements that combine very well with this exotic
style.
Carpets are essential accessories for the Egyptian style. So, place a few that are elegant
on the floor to add warmth and elegance to the room.
For the floors, we recommend polished
floors, if you want wooden floors these should look very clean and bright, but we recommend natural stone floors from our collection: because this
can have the colors and textures you need. Also, glass tile
floors, if you want to be original; and last, our beautiful vinyl floors: these you can have them in the
luxury version here. Vinyl is a great choice
because you can combine it in colors or varied designs to create a great Egyptian space.
A bit about their history…
We are so used to our way of life that it is difficult for us to imagine what day
to day life is like in other countries, and in other times. So, when it comes to ancient Egypt, a
mysterious place that has served as inspiration for movies, stories and of course, interior design, we
might find it difficult to understand, but yet, we would love to experiment it.
The building
materials were very diverse. These varied greatly over the years. At first papyrus was used and from
there it was switched to adobe. The wealthiest could afford to build in stone; we can see the pyramids
and the old houses in the cities.
Houses used to be built high to protect themselves from
sandstorms. Their homes were flat, of a single height. In addition, the roofs were flat too, so they did
not need any mechanism to evacuate the rainwater. But because of the sandstorms the windows were so
narrow. In this way, they sacrificed fresh air, but gained protection against the fury of the
desert.
If you want to give your home an Egyptian touch, remember that it is not only about
ornaments and rugs, but about design and knowing how to combine colors and give life to spaces; with our
options you can have Egyptian-style floors and give a different feeling to your environment.
