There’s a lot more going on in a designer’s mind than simply picking materials that look good together!
When putting together a material board, we’re constantly thinking about colour, texture, contrast, balance and how each finish works with the next.
How will the materials interact with natural light? Do the textures complement each other? Is there enough contrast? Will the selections work for the way the space is used?
And sometimes, it’s about swapping things around, stepping back and seeing what feels right.
Every material has a purpose, and the magic is in bringing them all together to tell one cohesive design story 🧡
Here’s a little peek into that process!
