MattoBoard Library

Discover real branded materials for interior design

Search 50,000+ real materials, finishes and products from real brands in your own words, by filter or from a reference image, then explore them as Virtual Samples and carry your selections into your projects.

MattoBoard’s material library for interior designers: a natural-language search with filters for category, brand, colour, usage, application, region and price

Your whole material library in one place

The largest A&D 3D material library of real-world virtual samples brings tiles, stone, wood, fabrics, paints and hardware from hundreds of A&D brands together, so every option you explore is a real product you can specify and source.

“So excited to have a 3D way to view materials, digitally, that looks more real to the eye.”

Search the way designers think

Search broadly for inspiration or precisely for a known material, then narrow the results until you find the right product.

Describe what you need in your own words

Natural-language material search understands how designers talk. Look for something specific, like “calacatta viola marble slab”, or a whole scheme, like “terracotta-inspired kitchen with matching tiles, wallpaper and handles”.

Narrow results with filters

Refine any search by brand, category, colour, usage, application, region and price. Start broad with “warm neutral laminate”, then filter by Formica to see only the options you can specify from that brand.

Virtual Samples of real products, not generic textures

A generic texture only shows a surface. A MattoBoard Virtual Sample is a 3D digital twin of a real product from a real brand, showing how it handles light, gloss, transparency and texture.

Each one carries its product details and a link to the brand, so the materials you test together are ones you can go on to specify and source.

Find materials from a reference image

Drop in an inspiration image and reverse image search finds real products and materials with a similar look, from the stone on a worktop to the fabric on a chair.

Explore the closest matches, compare finishes side by side and save the ones that suit your project.

Explore products through concept imagery

Describe a space and see it as an editorial-style concept built with real products, then browse the materials matched to it and their alternatives. It’s a quick way to discover products and see how they work together while a direction takes shape.

From material discovery to a 3D material board

Select products as you search and start a photorealistic 3D material board from them. Arrange their Virtual Samples together to see how finishes, colours and textures work side by side before you commit to a scheme.

The same material library, right inside SketchUp

Bring the same 50,000+ materials and products into the MattoBoard extension for SketchUp. Search in your own words or from an image, preview Virtual Samples, and apply real branded materials to your model at real-world scale.

From discovery to collections, boards and schedules

Save finds to collections, test them together on a 3D material board, and add your selections to an FF&E schedule with their technical information and pricing where available, ready for specification and purchasing.
