SO MUCH OF A space’s first impression depends on the colors, the finishes, the surfaces and the textures. We choose to spend time in places that make us feel comfortable, that match our own personal expressions. Materials and wallcoverings in 2022 are unique in that they’re more than simply mood-making. They’re often conscious of their own footprints; they’re bold and modern, but also warm and natural; they’re bright and minimalistic, but also dark and brooding. They are multidimensional, just like us.

Here, you’ll see a collection of materials that are sure to prove themselves as the cherry on top of your entire design, acting as both the glue as well as the mirror, holding it all together and reflecting what you hope you’ve achieved in the process.
