Material Matters: Elevating Spaces with Thoughtful Surfaces

True luxury is in the details—and the materials you choose set the tone for your entire home. Jennifer shares how to use rich, enduring materials to create interiors that feel tactile, intentional, and effortlessly elegant.

  • Stone for Strength and Sophistication: Marble, travertine, and soapstone offer both beauty and permanence. Whether used in countertops, fireplaces, or accent tables, natural stone instantly signals luxury.
  • Wood That Tells a Story: From dark-stained oak floors to handcrafted walnut cabinetry, natural wood adds warmth, texture, and character. Jennifer recommends mixing tones to avoid a flat or overly matched look.
  • Textiles That Invite Touch: Velvet, linen, boucle, and silk create depth and softness. Upholster chairs in tactile fabrics or drape throws over seating for an added layer of comfort.
  • Metals with Purpose: Aged brass, matte black, and brushed nickel can be used subtly on lighting, hardware, and furniture bases to introduce contrast and sheen without overwhelming the space.
  • Glass and Mirror for Light Play: Use antiqued mirrors, fluted glass doors, or reflective finishes to bounce light and open up rooms—especially in darker or more enclosed areas.
