Tips for Combining Materials

  1. Balance Textures:

  2. Use a Neutral Base:

  3. Highlight Focal Points:
    • Use contrasting materials to draw attention to key areas, such as a fireplace or feature wall.
  4. Consider Proportions:
    • Use larger surfaces (e.g., floors or walls) for neutral materials and smaller surfaces (e.g., furniture or decor) for bolder materials.
  5. Incorporate Natural Elements:
    • Add plants, stone, or wood to bring a touch of nature indoors.
