The revelry in texture, the enthusiasm for some shimmer and shine and the willingness to mix it all together in a glorious soup of sophistication. Who says copper and gold don\u2019t go? Not us. And throw some extra-added texture onto that extractor hood too while you\u2019re at it.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1059\" src=\"http:\/\/trendesignbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/trend-report-materials-01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/trendesignbook.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/trend-report-materials-01.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/trendesignbook.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/trend-report-materials-01-700x560.jpg 700w, https:\/\/trendesignbook.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/trend-report-materials-01-640x512.jpg 640w, https:\/\/trendesignbook.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/trend-report-materials-01-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/trendesignbook.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/trend-report-materials-01-900x720.jpg 900w, https:\/\/trendesignbook.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/trend-report-materials-01-600x480.jpg 600w, https:\/\/trendesignbook.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/trend-report-materials-01-300x240.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><strong>2 \u2013 Velvet<\/strong><\/em><br>\nVelvet has a rich history and has been around for thousands of years.

You could even say that glass is defined by its processing: blow it by hand and it becomes a beautiful, sculptural and almost magical form, yet change its chemical make up and draw it into thin fibres and it proliferates the connectivity of objects, information and society. But ultimately what lies behind glass is its very essence, the transparency that is propelling it into the future.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1061\" src=\"http:\/\/trendesignbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/trend-report-materials-03.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2881\" srcset=\"https:\/\/trendesignbook.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/trend-report-materials-03.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/trendesignbook.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/trend-report-materials-03-700x1050.jpg 700w, https:\/\/trendesignbook.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/trend-report-materials-03-640x960.jpg 640w, https:\/\/trendesignbook.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/trend-report-materials-03-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/trendesignbook.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/trend-report-materials-03-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/trendesignbook.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/trend-report-materials-03-900x1350.jpg 900w, https:\/\/trendesignbook.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/trend-report-materials-03-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/trendesignbook.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/trend-report-materials-03-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three materials with the potential to run for the long term, and all combining to create an overall picture of the current interiors mood for the first quarter of this&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1063,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[4,24],"tags":[88,90,89,10,59],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trendesignbook.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1045"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trendesignbook.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trendesignbook.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trendesignbook.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trendesignbook.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1045"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/trendesignbook.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1045\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trendesignbook.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1063"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trendesignbook.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1045"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trendesignbook.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1045"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trendesignbook.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1045"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
