There are many options to consider when it comes to home design. Whether you are redecorating, remodeling, or custom-building, you want to be happy with the materials you choose for years to come. We’ve outlined the design trends that we predict will remain strong throughout 2019, so you can be inspired to find the right amenities and style for your home.
In with the Old, Out with the New
We’ve seen a mix of styles from eras throughout history, from the Renaissance period to the late 60s and 70s, resurfacing in 2019. Homeowners are incorporating rich, bold colors, floral and velvet fabrics, copper or brass fixtures, curvy-contoured finishes, geometric-patterned decor, vibrant wallpapers, and ornamental rugs. Some bring a touch of nature into their home with big, lush plants, reclaimed wood, concrete accents, and matte finishes. We’ve also seen a rise in warm, earthy tones like taupe and feminine hues like blush, along with dark, moody colors providing rich depth and a luxurious feel.
Kitchens
Many homeowners are favoring kitchens with stunning focal points and striking colors, like black cabinets with contrasting marble countertops and white walls, while others go for charming character and warmth with cream-colored cabinets and natural wood accents. Some spruce up their culinary space with statement pieces:
- A large range hood over the oven.
- Bold counter-to-ceiling backsplashes.
- Floating shelves.
Living Spaces
For living rooms, we’ve seen a rise in hand-crafted influences with high ceilings, large, reclaimed wood beams, and arched French doors. Expansive great rooms with coffered ceilings, an architectural style inspired by the Renaissance era, are also popular. For bedrooms, canopy beds are making a comeback. From a simple, curtain-less frame to a sumptuously draped four-poster bed, this dreamy piece of furniture adds comfort and luxury.
Bathroom
Many homeowners want large, spacious bathrooms with amenities for a spa-like experience. Freestanding tubs, open showers with no walls, electric fireplaces, and drying stations are some of the most coveted trends. Instead of deep mahogany or cherry wood vanities, simple, reclaimed wood vanities provide a lighter, more natural touch.
Exteriors
For home exteriors, shake and shingle siding are a popular home cladding product. We also see many homeowners updating their old brick exteriors with mortar wash. In addition, statement garages, particularly with carriage style or stained wood garage doors, are becoming increasingly popular.
