Course Description: CEU Events: Curations: Trending Materials and Finishes
Design today is no longer just about aesthetics; it’s about human impact. This course explores how intentional choices in materials, finishes, color, form, and texture can create environments that support comfort, enhance daily experiences, and promote lasting engagement with the space. Participants will learn how to design environments that nurture physical and emotional balance, encourage thoughtful interaction, and provide lasting functionality.
Identify trends shaping the future of design by exploring key influences across science, technology, the economy, and art—and examining their implications for occupant well-being and environmental responsibility.
Translate the trends into actionable strategy – distilling them through the lens of material, finish, form, and texture – with color playing a supportive, yet impactful, role in the process to support comfort and occupant experience.
Examine the psychology behind interiors and how design choices impact human emotion, well-being, and connection.
Discover practical approaches to curating spaces that are not only beautiful, but inclusive and deeply resonant.
