You may be considering a custom home in Flower Mound or renovating your current home. Regardless, there are several popular home design trends for 2018 you may be interested to learn about. As North Texas custom home builders we always strive to stay on top of current trends; some of the latest we’ve revealed below.
According to Houzz, many homeowners are choosing to lose the big island in the kitchen and replace it with a dining table. This is great for casual family dining, and leaves the formal dining room for entertaining guests.
Delineation of space. Many homeowners still love the open floor plan, however others prefer to have some sense of division between the kitchen and living room. A half wall of cabinetry helps define the kitchen space without completely closing it off from the living area.
Cool neutrals are being edged out by rich, warm colors. Light gray and blue shades were popular for some time, but now homeowners are moving toward more earthy shades including brown-blacks, rust, tobacco, camel, and warm gray tones. Bolder colors such as burnt yellow and red add an unexpected pop of color to the room.
Kitchen sinks in copper, stone, granite or even concrete. Stainless steel has been all the rage for several years, and white porcelain sinks were the “in” thing before that. Today’s kitchen sinks are trending toward darker colors such as bronze, dark shades of gray or even black.
Vintage-style lighting fixtures. From bronze to brass and wrought iron, lighting that looks antique completely changes the flavor of the room while adding an artistic touch. From pendant fixtures to wall sconces and chandeliers, vintage lighting is a popular addition to rooms of nearly every style from mid-century modern or traditional to shabby chic and vintage modern.
Concrete accents. From floors to countertops and decorative accessories concrete is a highly popular material today, one that makes any space feel more relaxed when incorporated with light tones such as pearl gray, light brown tones and light linen.
