Now that you have decided to renovate your Lawrence Park home, it’s easy to feel transfixed by the multitude of design ideas available everywhere. As important as it is to create an interior design plan that adds functionality to your home, it’s equally as valuable to have a fresh, modern look in your home that expresses your style and personality. By learning about some of the hot design trends for 2019, you might find inspiration for your renovation plans.
Thoughtful Kitchen Design Ideas
Kitchen design trends are focused on practicality as well as style. For example, many homeowners are introducing more natural light in kitchens through the installation of larger windows. Sliding glass doors that extend from floor to ceiling are also increasingly popular and may take advantage of beautiful views, or they may lead to an outdoor living area created for family gatherings and entertainment. Rectangular kitchen islands are transitioning into more unique shapes that correspond well with the dimensions of the room, and storage features are now customized to improve organization in the pantry, cabinets and drawers.
A Fresh Take on Materials
Some materials that have been popular in interior design will continue to make a presence in 2019. One example of this is quartz as a counter material, loved by many because of its upscale style and durability. Other materials are used in more creative ways. For example, shiplap is increasingly popular in many rooms. A simple install and a gallon of paint in the color of your choice quickly and cost effectively transform the look of a room and add a modern yet rustic flair. Wood cabinets are also now often painted rather than stained. To add to this wood on wood trend, wood wall panels and ceiling beams pair to create a robust natural and earthy look in the home.
Strong Color Contrasting
Some trendy colors from last year, such as gray, are still popular in 2019. However, the monochromatic look is outdated, and deep color contrasts are popular. Darker hues including black, gray, blue and teal are popular choices for kitchens and baths. Contrast these dark hues with cream shades to bring light and space into the room. The use of bright white is no longer trendy. Black is most commonly used for kitchen cabinetry and is often mated with creamy quartz, brilliant steel accents or other lighter hues.
Stunning Patterns and Designs
Another way that homeowners are incorporating individuality into their homes in 2019 is with the use of customized patterns. Expect to find more patterns on kitchen backsplashes, tile floors, bathroom surrounds and more. In addition to these manufactured or planned patterns, natural designs may be added to the home décor through the careful selection of wood, stone and other materials. These designs are brought to life through strong color contrasts.
