Sensory Experiences on the Walls and Under Your Feet

Walls and floors are, by definition, flat surfaces with a purpose. We paint them, carpet them, polish them and even glamorize them with art, rugs or technology. But, what if you experienced them with more of your senses?

Ceramic artist Karin Widnas' home in a artist village south west from Helsinki, Finland includes this wall of ceramic tiles designed by the artist herself, separating the living room and dining room with her own personal style.

These dramatic and glamorous walls with framed effects create a stunning backdrop for Pinch Design's newest furniture pieces.

The illusion of texture... Dramatic black walls with a touch of pin striping create a feeling of textiles, menswear and drama in this room by Perscentrum Wonen.

Do you feel like taking a barefoot walk through a mossy garden? This rug from Nguyen La Chanh gives you the feeling of soft moss underfoot with this sensory experience for the bath.

Where the walls and the floors meet, usually there is a clear definition of where one ends and the other begins. Not so with the Travel magazine Vague Bond's travel bookshop in Sweden. Here the pattern from the floor jumps to the walls, becoming dimensional to create the bookshelves to hold the product.
