Surfaces make the space

Flooring, hardware, backsplashes, and faucets define your home's vibe more than any structural change. This year's winners feature pictorial tile, trompe l'oeil wallpaper, and jewelry-like knobs.

Landscapes in marble and onyx

Boheme's Vestigia tile collection skips checkerboard for bold marble and onyx depicting landscapes, structures, and symbols. It makes bathrooms feel like mystical Italian villas.

Wallpaper that fools the eye

Former Domino editor Kate Berry teamed with Graham & Brown on wallpaper inspired by her 16th-floor balcony garden. The Moire Faux Bois pattern looks exactly like real wood grain.

Mixed metals, one knob

Lo & Co's Duet knob combines brass and nickel in a single sculptural piece. Designed with SMAC Studio, it settles the debate between metal finishes.

“It seems these days people are either team brass or team nickel. But we say play the field.”

A faucet with attachments

Brizo's Faircroft collection brings 1930s and 40s design to vintage-inspired kitchens. The bridge faucet includes attachable accessories like a jewelry tray, soap dish, and towel bar.

Mirror studs like earrings

MG&Co's Flower Studs turn frameless mirrors into statement pieces. Each mounting stud features a lapis or malachite stone at its center.

“Funnily enough, the studs really do remind us of earrings.”
