Material Palette
Material Palette is a set of materials chosen for a space that can help control how light moves and feels in a room. In interior design, picking materials with different textures and finishes can change how much light bounces around or gets absorbed. For example, using shiny tiles on a wall can make a room look brighter, while using soft fabrics can make it feel warmer. Designers often use a mix of hard and soft materials to balance comfort and style. The Material Palette can help guide choices for flooring, walls, furniture, and even small details like handles or trims, making sure everything works well together.
