How did the idea for a collaboration between Metropolitan Floors and Cheekbone Beauty come about, and what goals did you have for blending beauty with interior design?
The collaboration between Metropolitan Floors and Cheekbone Beauty was born from a shared passion for sustainability, craftsmanship, and the desire to create beautiful, impactful experiences. Both brands have a deep commitment to ethical practices—Cheekbone Beauty in the beauty industry and Metropolitan Floors in flooring. Cheekbone Beauty is an Indigenous, women-owned brand that shares our core values of integrity, passion, and humanity.
We recognized a unique opportunity to combine our expertise, blending the world of interior design with beauty to inspire a more harmonious, conscious lifestyle. Just as makeup trends evolve from bright red lip sticks to warm brown tones, flooring offers a timeless elegance that transcends passing fads. Its natural beauty, expressed through rich textures, varying grains, and lustrous finishes, mirrors the sophistication found in couture.
Our aim was to demonstrate that beauty isn’t just something you wear; it’s something you live with and surround yourself with. By combining Cheekbone Beauty’s artistry with the sustainable, stylish designs of our flooring collections, we sought to craft spaces that are not only visually stunning but also aligned with the values of those who choose them. This collaboration celebrates sustainability, craftsmanship, and a shared commitment to enhancing both personal spaces and the environment.
Fall brings a unique colour palette. Can you tell us how brown and other earthy tones from the “Fall Into Luxury” collection reflect the warmth and versatility of the season?
A staple colour for Fall fashion this year, as seen in Vogue France’s Fall Trends, brown represents warmth, depth, and versatility.The “Fall Into Luxury” collection celebrates the rich, earthy tones of brown and other natural hues, perfectly capturing the warmth and versatility of the season. Brown shades infuse any space with a cozy, grounded atmosphere, reminiscent of autumn leaves, wood, and the beauty of the outdoors. These versatile tones effortlessly complement a range of design styles, from rustic to contemporary, adding both sophistication and warmth. Ideal for creating inviting environments, these colours evoke the essence of fall and beyond. Each shade in the collection allows homeowners to seamlessly blend nature with their interiors, crafting a timeless aesthetic that endures throughout the year.
Cheekbone Beauty is known for its sustainable, Indigenous-inspired approach to beauty. How did their values and aesthetic influence the design of the flooring collection?
While the collection was not inspired by Cheekbone Beauty, we moved forward with this collaboration because their values and aesthetic aligned with the ethos of Metropolitan Floors. The rising trend of sustainability in fashion and beauty is mirrored by a growing demand for eco-friendly flooring options. Consumers are becoming more mindful of the environmental impact of their purchases, actively seeking sustainable materials and practices. Flooring crafted from responsibly sourced wood and produced using eco-conscious methods aligns with the values of today’s environmentally aware shoppers.
How does Metropolitan Floors see flooring as a form of self-expression, and how does this collaboration empower people to create spaces that reflect their personal style?
Fashion and beauty are powerful forms of personal expression, giving individuals a way to showcase their unique style and personality. Flooring provides a similar canvas, enabling people to design a space that truly reflects their taste. Flooring is fashion. With an extensive selection of wood types, finishes, and stains, flooring allows for endless customization, capturing the essence of each owner’s personal style and preferences. This collaboration encourages individuals to explore the connection between beauty and design. Just as we use makeup daily to express ourselves—to complement our outfits, reflect our mood, and showcase our unique style—choosing flooring for a space can be a similar, impactful decision. Flooring, like makeup, is a reflection of personal taste, seamlessly tying together decor and individual preferences. This collaboration highlights the powerful synergy between beauty and design, emphasizing that design is one of the most significant forms of self-expression.
