Webcast: Color & Design Trends in Textured Panels

Webcast: Color & Design Trends in Textured Panels Materials selection for interior design projects are taking a dramatic turn, with stark contrasts between materials. Architects and designers are mixing different colors and patterns, with glossy, matte and wood finishes existing in harmony.  

Dramatic, bright colors are appearing in all areas of business and consumer goods, including panel and casegoods. Knowing what to expect from clients, or how to advise them in working with new surface styles, becomes more important than ever important.
