\n1. Mixed-materials<\/strong>
\nIn today\u2019s contemporary residential spaces, you will find mixed-material design accents in a variety of places, from dining tables to lighting to the backsplash. Bring a shimmering accent to your kitchen wall with an elegant glass-and-metal-mix mosaic. A mixture of finishes reflects light throughout the kitchen, while its silver aura complements the faucet and cabinet handles for a cohesive color flow.<\/p>\n
