Stone Source Textured Reclaimed Wood

To save the forest for the trees, meticulously disassembled structures supply raw lumber for Textured Reclaimed Wood flooring and wall paneling. The resawn planks that result can be sculpted with a variety of gorgeously tactile surface textures, from burnished to raked. Available species include American chestnut, North Faced oak, New England hemlock, Berkshire pine barn siding, and poplar. 212-979-6400; stonesource.com. circle 615

Sun Valley Bronze Gate Latch Collection

Designer Josh Commons’s Gate Latch Collection sports an uncommon contemporary look. The metal components will never rust, thanks to recycled bronze in any of six finishes, and Nylatron internal washers ensure smooth operation. Latches with an exposed or hidden cam are each available for passage or privacy use. 866-788-3631; sunvalleybronze.com. circle 636

Interstyle Ceramic & Glass

Stratus residential floor and wall tiles start as clear 10-mil glass, but eventually get a colorless, translucent textured glaze (which also provides slip resistance) in a loose floral inspired by breezy Hawaiian orchids, one of eight patterns in the line. The 12- or 16-inch-square tiles are then screen-printed on the back with a solid coat of lush Leimert glaze, a standout among the handful of available colors. 604-421-7229; interstyle.ca. circle 631

Sugatsune America Multiple Motion Door System MFS-G

Supplying unfettered access to cabinets, innovative Multiple Motion Door System MFS-G hardware and rails miraculously allow an entire bank of wood or glass doors to slide without stacking. The mechanism lets an individual coplanar panel slip far enough forward to run in front of its neighbors, returning to its original flush position smoothly, with a gentle “soft” close. 800-562-5267; sugatsune.com. circle 635

Big Ass Fans Isis

Honey, they shrunk the fans. This Kentucky manufacturer scaled down its huge industrial models for interior use in rooms with ceilings as low as 12 feet. The Isis still moves plenty of air but, thanks to the relatively slow rotation of its 10 airfoil blades, draws about the same power as a single refrigerator light bulb. Choose an 8-foot, 9-foot, or 10-foot model. 877-244-3267; bigassfans.com. circle 632

Bradley Collection Mio

Mio integrated drapery hardware systems showcase sculptural stainless steel, ceramic, and crystal finials. The curtain rings bypass the brackets and the rods have custom bends and continuous curves, all of which allow for extra-long installations. The stainless steel parts come brushed or polished, though powdercoating in earth tones is also possible. 310-815-8255; bradleycollection.com. circle 634

Joel Berman Glass Studios

Resembling ripples of water caught frozen in time, the Heat light sculpture is a dazzling monolith of acrylic that brings visual interest to any space, whether commercial or residential. Supported by a stainless steel case and brushed stainless hardware, the sculpture is illuminated via LED’s. 604-684-8332; jbermanglass.com. circle 633

Ceramica Mayor

Tempio ventilated facades offer patterns ranging from spatter-drops to a textured gold and a carbon-colored crystal relief. The rainscreen facades are easily assembled from decorative, extruded full-body porcelain tiles seated within an aluminum structure. Finished installations can rack up 40 percent energy savings when compared with other building techniques. 96-588-1175; ceramicamayor.com. circle 647

Hunter Douglas Luminette Modern Draperies

Two fabric choices for Luminette Modern Draperies supply the look of satin or of silk with slubs, with matching cut yardage also available. In the Privacy Sheers version of the draperies, vanes fixed behind a sheer face fabric rotate for light control and to obscure views. For ease of operation, two varieties of motorized hardware are sold. 800-274-2985; hunterdouglas.com. circle 651

Conrad Imports Jazz Collection

For interiors so cool they need shades, consider the tailored window coverings of the Jazz Collection. The handwoven fabrics use wood pulp fibers in vibrant shades of yellow, blue, green, orange, and red, as well as a shimmery silver. And, as with all DesignerLine Window coverings, these fabrics sell as Roman folds or as motorized roll-ups. 866-426-6723; conradshades.com. circle 650

Lamin-Art

Pearlescence indoor surfaces boast detailed patterns printed with inks that are formulated with tiny pearlized particles to reflect and refract light. The finishes include Crisscross, a subtly tactile grid of intersecting lines; Gloss, offering high reflectivity; and Wisp, which sports both glossy and matte linear silhouettes. All are suitable for vertical or for non-working horizontal surfaces. 800-323-7624; laminart.com. circle 649

Abet Silentwall

Silentwall panels reduce indoor noise levels thanks to an HDF wood-fiber core and patented silver-anodized aluminum support profiles that can be exposed or hidden. The easy-to-install 10-foot panels, which have tongues and grooves to run horizontally or vertically, measure 16 or 24 inches wide. Clad them in leather or in high-pressure laminate in 300 colors, wood grains, or silk-screened patterns. 800-228-2238; abetlaminati.com. circle 648
