Material selection services focused on finishes, surfaces, and specifications to create cohesive and durable interiors.

Material selections play a critical role in both the visual impact and performance of a space. At JL Coates, our material selection services guide clients through choosing finishes and surfaces that balance aesthetics, durability, and function. This service ensures materials work together cohesively while supporting the overall design intent.
Thoughtful selections with lasting impact.
Material selections influence how a space looks, feels, and performs over time. Our approach evaluates finishes not only for appearance, but also for durability, maintenance, and suitability for daily use.
Balancing beauty and performance.
From flooring and countertops to tile, hardware, and surface finishes, we consider how materials interact with light, scale, and surrounding elements. Each selection supports both the design vision and real-world functionality.
Clarity in a complex process.
With countless material options available, decision-making can feel overwhelming. We streamline the process by narrowing choices to well-considered options that align with your style, goals, and investment level.
Integrated with the overall design.
Material selections are often part of a broader interior design or remodel project, but they can also be provided as a focused service. In either case, selections are coordinated to create a cohesive and intentional result.
