"Beyond the Surface: Which Surfacing Materials Add Texture, Drama and Luxury to Design Projects, Inside and Out." (.1CEU)
Surfacing has become the centerpiece of striking spaces. Projects containing tactile, visual, and sensory elements are among the most successful at making a lasting impression. Whether it’s natural stone on walls and flooring, countertops, or specialty tile for a wow effect, surfacing materials create a multitude of design statements in any environment. Interior / exterior designer Christopher Grubb shares his unique methods of combining tile, stone, and other materials to create an indoor or outdoor space with exceptional aesthetic, ambiance, and visual and tactile textures. Grubb will use his project to showcase which materials make the biggest impact, even when working with smaller budgets.
