Softly textured stone, rich woods with visible grain, and inviting fabrics like bouclé, linen, and layered rugs are taking centre stage, giving spaces warmth, depth, and personality. Metals are still used, but more subtly, with brushed brass, warm bronze, and matte black serving as thoughtful accents rather than bold statements.</p>
