In today’s fast-paced, ever-evolving world of design and manufacturing, staying ahead of the curve is more important and more challenging than ever.

That’s why FinishWorks is proud to present Trendscape 2025, our annual digital and print magazine created to bring customers and partners closer to what’s next in the world of wood and metal coatings. As part of our ongoing commitment to innovation, Trendscape offers a curated, research-driven look at the materials, finishes, and design directions that are shaping our industry’s future.

Whether you're a product designer looking for your next big idea, a manufacturer responding to changing customer preferences, or an OEM decision-maker navigating the market, Trendscape is designed with you in mind.

At the heart of this year’s edition are eighteen standout finishes, hand-selected by our Color Styling and Interpretive Design team. These finishes aren’t just beautiful. They’re purposefully curated to align with shifting aesthetics, evolving performance demands, and real-world application needs. You’ll find bold textures, earthy tones, high-impact metallics, and refined matte effects, all reflective of the most relevant trends in today's coatings and design.

But Trendscape goes beyond finishes. It also features customer stories, product spotlights, and practical insights from across the industry. These stories highlight innovation in action, and provide real examples of how to apply trends in ways that meet your unique goals.

So whether you’re planning for your next product cycle or just need fresh inspiration, Trendscape is your go-to resource for what’s ahead. More than a lookbook, it’s a tool to help you stay competitive and creative in an increasingly dynamic marketplace.

And here at Finishworks, it's just one more way that we work hard to make your work easy.
