Just like the 2018 paint colors of the year, bold colors are in. These are the colors to look out for: vibrant blues, bright purples, alert reds, and vivid greens. Some ways to show off bold colors in your home are through rugs, accessories, throw pillows, art, and furniture.

While white kitchens have taken over for the past year or so, color is making its way in. White will still be a color that will last, but homeowners are looking for a way to personalize their space. Colors that will be popular in the kitchen are blues and grays, and warm wood tones.

Concrete is already a popular material choice for the home, but expect to see concrete in places you don’t expect. Such as wallcoverings, accessories, furniture, lighting and tile. Designer Yanic Simard says, “The humble material and its comforting cool tones mixed with light linen and pearl grays add relaxed air to any space.”

MIXING METALS

Mixing 2-3 different metal finishes in your space is a fun way to get creative and give your space extra character. There are many ways to achieve this look; use one metal finish for your lighting, another finish for your hardware, and one last finish for your faucet.
