Super Fresco Feature Wall Paintables from Graham & Brown is a series of textured wallpapers that can cover imperfections on the wall, add a third dimension, and still be painted to match the room's decor. Six textures give a modern or traditional look and can be applied to walls or ceilings. 20½" rolls; grahambrown.com
Jürgen Mayer H.'s new design for Bisazza Home offers a literal twist on conventional glass tile. As shown here on a polyurethane chair, the glass mosaics are adhered to flexible sheets (the Data collection comes in black, red, and green). The tiles can be used on walls and furniture, as well as high-traffic floors. Approximately 12-3/5" x 12-3/5" sheets; bisazzausa.com
Gravelpave2 from Invisible Structures is a porous paving system that holds gravel in place without sacrificing drainage. Shown here at the Pentagon Memorial, the system keeps the gravel in place and is stable enough for rolling a wheelchair or driving a truck on top. Available in black, tan, gray, and terra cotta. 3'4" x 3'4" or 1'7-4/5" x 1'7 4/5" units; invisiblestructures.com
Trend USA's new mosaic tile collection, Feel, is made of 80 percent postconsumer recycled glass in 12 colors and 26 groovy, wallpaper-inspired patterns. The mosaics are made of ¾" x ¾" tiles. 12-7/16" x 12-7/16" sheets; trendgroup-usa.com
