As we reported last month, cool grays and stark whites are on their way out of favor with designers incorporating warm, earthy neutrals to create a calm and welcoming environment in the kitchen and throughout the home.
Beige is back, as is creamy off-white, soft green and rich brown. So, keep that in mind during your remodeling. Different tones, textures and patterns creating a layered look are in, adding depth to home décor.
Bold, dramatic moves are also becoming more popular, with more use of graphic stone, floral wallpaper, large artwork, oversized light fittings and furniture. Sustainable choice renovations remain popular, as modern interiors embrace older elements such as handmade clay tile, brick and rustic wood. Clutter is out. Appliance garages are in. What’s an appliance garage? It’s a sliding cabinet or other specialized cabinetry designed to tuck away appliances and hide gadgets and chargers.
Regardless of your new design choices, updating can not only increase value in your home, but create a welcoming environment for friends and family to enjoy for years. Start one room at a time, evaluate potential changes, plan needs vs wants and budget your remodel. Whether a big remodel or small changes of paint, rugs, pillows, and linens it can make a house ... into a home!
