What makes a house truly feel like a home? Aside from the events that take place between its walls, much of a home\u2019s personality is found in the materials, textures, and accents that bring it together. While it can be time-consuming to keep up with the latest design trends\u2014especially the perennials that come in and out with the seasons\u2014incorporating the latest high-end materials into your home is an easy way to give a space an instant, luxurious update. From cozy fabrics to rich metals, here are seven futuristic materials to freshen any room.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"\"589 Ch. de la C\u00f4te-St-Antoine, Westmount, QC<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

Boucl\u00e9<\/b><\/h2>\n

An ultra-soft, looped yarn fabric, boucl\u00e9 is a material that exudes warmth and whimsy. Traditionally a popular texture for coats, boucl\u00e9 is adorning couches, loveseats, and throw pillows to add instant comfort\u2014and a little fun\u2014to the living room without sacrificing high-end style. Curling up on furniture made from this fabric is a lush experience; it\u2019s getting up once comfortable that becomes a challenge.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"\"365 Christina Drive, Oakville, ON<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

Rice Paper<\/b><\/h2>\n

When it comes to the burgeoning trend of sustainable home d\u00e9cor, materials like rice paper, jute, linen, and wool are making a big name for themselves. Rice paper lanterns and floor lamps are perfect accents for bright, minimalist spaces that adhere to the design tenets of serenity and relaxation.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"8 Av. Forden, Westmount, QC<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

Ceramic<\/b><\/h2>\n

By no means a new material, ceramic is having a moment in 2019. Patterned ceramic tiles are an exciting way to spruce up walls and flooring, and artists worldwide are creating stunning bowls, flower pots, and vases in both high-shine and matte finishes. Whether for function or simply for display, unique ceramic artwork makes a clear statement.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"3712 Boul. The Boulevard, Westmount, QC<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

Acrylic<\/b><\/h2>\n

For a clean, minimalist look and feel, acrylic furniture is a fuss-free, futuristic trend to incorporate into your home. Acrylic coffee tables, end tables, and hallway or entryway pieces provide a balance of function and style without detracting from the overall design of the rest of the room. And in tight spaces, clear acrylic furnishings allow light to travel without adding any visual disruption.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"183 Wellington St W #2606, Toronto, ON<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

Velvet<\/b><\/h2>\n

There\u2019s just something about velvet that elevates a room. A velvet couch, especially in a rich jewel tone, not only makes a glamorous statement, but the fabric\u2019s plush feel is a luxury in itself. An example of the old being made new again, velvet is making a splash in contemporary rooms with a hint of Art Deco. Not ready to commit to a velvet couch? Try throw pillows, a blanket, or a headboard to bring this trend into your home.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"4055 Marine Drive, West Vancouver, BC<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

Concrete<\/b><\/h2>\n

From tables to benches to tiling, concrete has stepped into the interior limelight. A major component of industrial design, concrete can bring texture and contrast to spaces that are rich in other natural materials like wood and wool. Statement walls and concrete islands create focal points in bright and open rooms, and, when properly sealed, concrete is a resilient material to use in kitchens and workshops.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"21 Parkwood Ave, Toronto, ON<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

Copper<\/b><\/h2>\n

Say hello to the warm, earthy glow of copper. Integrate this rich metal into your home through lamps, kitchen and bathroom faucets, side tables, and even picture frames and plant pots. Keeping your copper from oxidizing involves the application of sealant, but the care of faded metals can be easily addressed with products found in most kitchens.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re looking to update a space with on-trend touches or are planning a home renovation, there are plenty of futuristic materials to draw from to bring your spaces into the present. Choose from elegant details that accentuate a minimalist space or rich fabrics to add depth to a modern room\u2014with elements made from acrylic or copper, velvet or boucl\u00e9, forward-looking design options are at your fingertips.<\/span><\/p>\n
