Material trends are rarely only about looks. They reflect deeper needs: ease of care, tactility, sustainability, craft, longevity. For 2026, I see a strong shift away from pure \u201ceffects\u201d and toward material honesty<\/strong>\u2014or at least surfaces that feel honest.<\/p>\n

1) Textures you can feel<\/h3>\n

Boucl\u00e9, slub yarns, linen-like weaves, structured surfaces. People are craving touch again because digital stimulation is everywhere. For B2B, it has to be more than pretty: abrasion resistance, pilling behavior, cleanability<\/strong> matter.<\/p>\n

2) Matte surfaces over high gloss<\/h3>\n

Metals: brushed, satin, darker finishes.
Paints: soft-matte, lower reflection.
The result: less noise, more calm, more perceived quality.<\/p>\n

3) Ceramics & \u201chandmade look\u201d<\/h3>\n

Tiles, vessels, surfaces with subtle irregularities. They add personality\u2014but if overused, they can date quickly. Better as an accent, not a theme everywhere.<\/p>\n

4) Recycled and hybrid materials<\/h3>\n

Recycled yarns, blends, new composites. Demand is strong, but so is greenwashing. For contract projects you need transparency: certifications, availability, replacement logic.<\/p>\n

5) Wood \u2014 lighter, quieter, more refined<\/h3>\n

Less rustic, more precise. Often paired with mineral elements (stone, microcement, limewash textures).<\/p>\n

The practical questions I always ask<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • \n

    How is the space used?<\/strong> (kids, luggage, pets, traffic)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    How will it be cleaned?<\/strong> (washability, stain behavior, replaceability)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    How fast do you need replenishment?<\/strong> (project timelines)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    How does it age?<\/strong> (patina vs \u201clooks damaged fast\u201d)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Where is premium worth it\u2014and where is \u201cclever enough\u201d?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The trend is toward materials that don\u2019t shout, but carry<\/strong> the space: atmosphere, function, and commercial logic.<\/p>\n

    If you need material decisions that connect design ambition with operating costs, that\u2019s exactly where I like to work\u2014especially through color + textile concepts.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
