KITCHENS
TOP DESIGNS
Homeowners are becoming savvier with their kitchen designs, and many desire to have a space that is visually open and inviting but also flexible enough to keep clutter at bay. By opting for popular designs such as large islands that can double as a dining area, tearing down walls between the kitchen and other home spaces, adding a working pantry, opting for easy-to-clean flooring, creating outdoor living areas, and ensuring sanitary countertops, homeowners can create stunning kitchens that cater to all their lifestyle needs while also looking good.
STYLES & COLORS
When it comes to desirable kitchen styles, this year designers are turning to transitional, contemporary, modern, organic/natural and farmhouse designs. White is a popular choice since it pairs well with cozy earthy tones like greens and blues, while metallic accents can introduce either a glamorous or rustic touch. To liven up a space, one should consider brightening it up with a bold backsplash, pieces of artwork and furniture, painted walls and wallpaper along with some colorful fabric accents. For those who wish for their kitchen to reflect timelessness yet trendiness all at once – these visual inspirations should be kept in mind!

BATHROOMS
MAXIMIZING SPACE
To create a tranquil atmosphere in a home, many owners are making major investments to remodel their primary bathrooms. Replacing bulky bathtubs with mounted jets, increasing the size of showers, and even connecting adjacent rooms such as closets and dressing areas to the bathrooms can help turn any room into a spa-like oasis. Design schemes that combine luxury materials like marble or teak wood with modern fixtures give the bathroom an upscale feel while providing homeowners with all of the amenities they need for daily grooming and relaxation.
STYLES & COLORS
When designing a bathroom, style and color are both incredibly important. Transitions, contemporary, organic/natural and modern are just a few of the popular styles for bathrooms. Many designers like to rely on blues, greens, whites, grays and neutrals as the dominant colors to bring together elegance and balance in the room. However, it is important not to forget that the bathroom can be unique by adding small pops of bold color on vertical surfaces or even just art work. By doing this you can create interesting contrast while still maintaining an overall cohesive design to your room. Whether you go with natural or adventurous coloring, your bathroom can be stylish yet inviting.
