Sadly, we’re not all lucky enough to have the vast material libraries of designers like Josh Greene, Jesse Parris-Lamb, and Studio DB to give us a tactile window into what goes together and what we’re truly drawn to. Yes, there are excellent regional sample houses out there to visit in person, but multi-brand digital resources are rare. Even rarer are tools that let you visualize your favorite combinations in different spaces. Enter: DesignShop, an interactive, accessible-from-anywhere sample marketplace. 

A wide swath of Domino-favorite brands line DesignShop’s virtual shelves, like Fireclay Tile, Kohler, Farrow and Ball, Brunschwig & Fils, Everhem, Cosentino, and Kravet. And if you’re starting from scratch, there are pages of room inspiration with shoppable moodboards, some contributed by interior designers

Choose one of 18 spaces, from a powder room to a galley kitchen, then play with up to eight customizable surfaces—cabinet paint color, drapes, tile—to visualize your finishes. It’s obviously not a one-to-one situation, but it’ll help you narrow down your options before you start ordering (and paying for) samples to consider at home. Once you’ve selected your top choices, DesignShop pops them in the mail to be delivered overnight. And when you’ve decided on your final scheme, there’s a direct link to retailers on each sample’s page. (If it’s a made-to-order product, there’s an option to input your zip code to find nearby stores to purchase through.)

3 On-Trend Material Combos to Try

If you’re looking for a scheme you haven’t already seen everywhere, we’ve recently reported on what kitchen cabinet colors designers are feeling for 2026, countertop styles that are on the rise, and the power of a good window trim hue. Here are three trios we can get behind—all of which you can source on DesignShop.

For the Kitchen

Grey-green is all the rage for kitchen cabinets this year. Pair the shade with quartzite countertops, which designers trust for its durability, and pop in some nickel knobs to act as the jewelry of the room.

For the Bedroom

The Brownstone Boys’ latest project—their own home!—had us crushing hard on their ochre bedroom (the rich color is on our radar for 2026). Pair it with subtly striped curtains and a patterned wool rug for a space that feels like a hug.

For Powder Room

With no need to worry about shower steam, you can get creative with finishes in powder rooms. Raffia-weave and dark brown penny tile will give you a moody, restaurant-like vibe, and a wall-mounted faucet saves counter space.
