Kitchen Trends

Wood surfaces bring warmth and natural beauty to any space, and the material has taken a leading role in kitchens. Warm wood tones balance a crisp white kitchen and enhance deep green and blue toned cabinets which are another popular trend this year. Natural finishes pair well with a variety of styles, including contemporary cabinetry and traditional countertops. If a kitchen update isn’t in your budget this year consider adding decorative wood bowls or a nice wood butcher block to your counter tops with cute kitchen accessories sitting on top. Adding wood chairs to your island will warm the space as well.

Bold Cabinet Colors

Looking for something unique that shows your personality or provides a bold statement? A different color of paint on your cabinets can make all the difference and separate you from the pack. Not ready to go bold in your entire kitchen? Maybe start with your kitchen island or bottom cabinets!

Open Shelving

Looking for a way to give your kitchen a modern design? Try open shelving. Open shelving is a great alternative for those hard-to-reach cupboards. Turn them into an eye-catching spot by displaying a beautiful piece of art. If you don’t want to commit all the way, try open frame cabinetry. You can still show off your prized items through glass panes without scrapping the cabinetry altogether.

Bathroom Trends

Bold Tile Patterns

While deciding on the tiles for your bathroom don’t shy away from experimenting. The use of clashing tile that are different in texture and colors might just end up giving your bathroom a timeless yet chic look. To keep your project budget friendly, consider doing just one wall in your bathroom with tile to get the same bold look without blowing your budget.

Floating Vanities

Floating vanities are one of the hippest trends right now. Homeowners can choose from various floating vanities including many different types of wood. These vanities appear airy and seamless, making them perfect for any bathroom. Floating vanities don’t have to cost a fortune. There are many budget friendly options available at your local hardware store, Ikea and even DIY options!
