5 Design Trends for 2019
1. Walls with Color
In our industry, we’ve seen a lot of white in the last few years and we’re kind of tired of white. We need some color back! Megan brought in a few color palettes for the year including a coral, teal, dusty blue and mauve.
The whole room doesn’t have to be painted in these colors. It could be an accent or a powder bathroom but let’s get some color back.
2. Patterned Backsplashes
Next, we have patterned backsplashes. These are ceramic tiles so they have a great price point. They make a really dramatic statement. So, this could be on a bathroom floor, it could be on a kitchen backsplash. It doesn’t have to be in a huge big area but a little goes a long way because it has so much design punch. They’re very practical. Easy to clean and easy to maintain.
Changing up the backsplashes is really popular right now on HGTV and DIY Network. They really add some flair to your kitchen.
3. Cabinet Colors
Again, we’ve seen a lot of white and gray in our industry. Cabinets are starting to bring in some color. Megan has samples in a distressed teal color, another in charcoal and the last one is naval on oak. This gives you the raised grain which is interesting as well. Maybe you use it on a kitchen island and not the whole perimeter of cabinets. A way to bring a little color into your space.
4. Unique Appliances
We’re not seeing as much stainless steel anymore. For a while, that is all you saw. So we’re seeing ranges come in with bright punches of color, so maybe it’s a bright yellow range or a cobalt blue in your kitchen. Having some fun and creating a focal point. It doesn’t mean you have to do the whole kitchen in blue but maybe you pick one appliance and you put a little color there. It’s fun!
5. Mixing metals
We’ve been talking missed metals in jewelry but it’s also popular in the kitchen. This Moen faucet comes out in July and we’re first to see it in our Kansas City area. It’s called the Neo faucet. It’s a black matte finished with a brush gold handle. They have other combinations of metal too.
