At Elementa, we believe the beauty of a space lies in the finer details – the textures, materials, and curated elements that quietly command attention. Whether it’s hand-finished wallpaper or flooring that brings warmth underfoot, these choices are what transform a house into a refined, liveable home.

In this feature, we’re sharing a curated selection of standout design elements that have recently captured our attention. From contemporary wallcoverings to sculptural art and beautifully engineered wood flooring, each piece brings depth, elegance, and soul to a well-considered interior.

Sanitary ware we’d choose as interior designers

Gessi – Gessi 316 Collection

We often select sanitary ware that embodies purity, strength, and comfort, qualities essential for a refined bathroom experience.

One standout is the Gessi 316 mixer, which perfectly captures Italian artisanal craftsmanship. Available in various colours and sizes, this collection features clean lines and elegant shapes, with a beautifully carved detail at the base that resembles stainless steel engraving. This subtle yet striking feature adds an extra layer of sophistication to any bathroom.

Timeless craftsmanship in ceramics

Atelier Vierkant – Earth Anthology

Last year at Downtown Design Week Dubai, we discovered Atelier Vierkant, a European brand celebrated for its exquisite ceramic and clay pieces.

Our favourite is the Earth Anthology pot, handcrafted to be truly unique. Its beautiful lines and textured surface give it a natural warmth that enhances both modern and classic interiors. These pieces bring a sense of artisanal authenticity that resonates with our design philosophy.

A wallcovering that speaks in texture

Tapetex – Branda Wild Silk (via NGC Nafees)

We were recently introduced to the Branda Wild Silk wallpaper collection by Tapetex, available through NGC Nafees – and it has quickly become a studio favourite.

Inspired by traditional embroidery with a modern sensibility, this collection radiates quiet luxury. The texture and sheen offer a subtle sense of movement, adding dimension without overwhelming the space. Whether applied in full or as an accent panel, it integrates seamlessly into both minimalist and more layered interiors.

It’s a perfect choice for clients who appreciate understated elegance and material richness.

Art that anchors a space

Joseph Klibansky – Bare Hug

Art plays a vital role in setting the tone of a room – not simply as decoration, but as a defining element of atmosphere. At Elementa, we treat art as integral to the interior architecture, carefully selecting pieces that reflect our clients’ values and lifestyle.

One artist we’re currently admiring is Joseph Klibansky. His sculptural piece Bare Hug captures emotion, movement, and softness in a way that’s both powerful and poetic. It’s the kind of art that doesn’t shout, but resonates.

Thoughtfully placed, artwork like this adds character and narrative, elevating your home into something deeply personal.

Warmth underfoot with natural wood

Belgiqa – Oak Eight, Warm Dust (via Metre Squared)

Natural wood flooring is a timeless addition to any luxury home – especially in spaces like bedrooms and private lounges where comfort and calm are essential.

We’ve recently been drawn to Belgiqa, a Belgian brand now available in the UAE through Metre Squared. Their Oak Eight, Warm Dust finish offers a refined grain pattern, subtle tonal variation, and a warm, grounding palette that pairs beautifully with stone, metal, and soft textiles.

For Dubai’s climate, engineered wood is essential. Belgiqa’s products are not only visually stunning but also treated to ensure longevity and performance in high-temperature environments. A perfect blend of form and function.
