Don’t forget to consider texture when designing your spaces.

It’s easy to focus on furniture layout and color schemes, but attention to textiles and material choices is essential to truly elevate your home. The contrast in this Nove wall art is an excellent example of the importance of varying material types— the sleek frame of powder-coated metal and the rich natural texture of cork have such a nice juxtaposition, but also work together beautifully.

Some quick little things you can do to easily add texture:
1️⃣ - Add some chunky throw blankets or unique pillows. It’s inexpensive, quick, and can really add a splash of softness.
2️⃣ - Spice up your art! Don’t settle for just prints and photos, look into more sculptural pieces, wall hangings... or might we suggest some felt wall art (which can also help soften sounds!)
3️⃣ - Use trinkets; from glossy round vases to weird little wooden tchotchkes, they can each be made of different materials to change up the vibe.

Wall art, made by hand. ✋

We’re not shy about how much we do by hand; in fact, we think it’s what sets us apart and part of what makes our product great. To any artisans, small business owners, crafters, and makers out there who go the extra mile to make extraordinary things with your own two hands—trust us, people can tell. This is a great time of year to swap a mass-produced item for a handmade one and support a local business!

If you’ve been into our lobby recently, you might have noticed that this lovely Diade No. 6 is back in the building!

We made this for Studio LW, to be featured in Colorado Home Magazine
Denver Showhouse. Where each room was staged by a different interior designer, showcasing different styles in one home. This piece was hung in the home’s entryway, and we loved the styling so much we had to move it to our front lobby!

A very New Mexican winter palette for you all. ❄️🌶️

Isn’t it lovely how so many different places have a variety of ways to decorate for the season? Snow on adobe always looks so beautiful, and when you top it off with luminarias and ristras, it's just perfection. What are some ways you decorate in winter?

This palette in FilzFelt colors would be #428 Silver, #311 Almond, #250 Truffle Brown, and #573 Copper.

Before there was Juxt, Stratum, Pivot, and Queue... there were Wander | Mirrors—our first mirror collection.

We wanted to take a practical piece of decor and translate it into Submaterial’s design language. Combining our love of fun shapes and a design staple of alternating heights of felt, we came up with the Wander Mirrors. Of course, we can never do things simply, so we offer five shape options in a variety of sizes, with the choice of a single color or multiple.

Scroll through to see how some of these stunning mirrors were styled.

Does anyone feel like December is already zooming by?

One thing that’s not a blur is our Figure No. 1 wallcovering; even in this single felt color, there’s so much depth to it as light plays across it.

Something about this Field | Quartz seems perfect for the season. It’s giving a snowy evergreen tree. 🌲❄️

Those details edged in white felt really stand out when seen at an angle, but when viewed straight-on, they look a lot less stark.

This piece draws your eye by creating a mesmerizing vanishing point.

Horizon is created by the felt strips narrowing into a densely organized area at a single point, like the small crystals at the center of a geode. As the elements move away from the point, they grow larger. It can be rendered from light tones at the edges to the darkest in the center (like this one), or vice versa, while the color convergence can be placed in the middle of the panel or offset for a bit of asymmetry.
