Are you planning to renovate or redesign your home this year? Coastal Realty Services reviews the top housing and design trends, and here's what they expect to be popular in 2016.
Black Stainless Steel Appliances
Black and colored stainless steel appliances will be replacing the standard shiny silver and stark white. These color alternatives are now being offered by a variety of manufactures, rather than just a select few, as in the past. With black stainless steel appliances, homeowners can make their appliances stand out and serve as a focal point of the kitchen. If you fear black appliances will be too dark for your small kitchen, you can opt for bronze instead.
Mix-Matched Kitchens
The idea that everything in the kitchen needs to match has gone out the window. Now eclectic kitchens have taken over, as homeowners are mix-and-matching materials and textures to create a stunning contrast. This may include incorporating two-tone cabinets, combining wood with slate or brick, and mixing metals and metallic finishes.
Statement Mirrors
Statement mirrors will be a focal point in the modern bathroom, and the more lavish the mirrors, the better. Though extravagant, the statement mirror doesn't have to be pricey. You can choose a vintage piece and recycle it will some paint to bring style and luxury into your bathroom.
Tech-less Living Rooms
Today, we spend most of our days with our eyes glued to our screens. The tech-less living room aims to get rid of these digital distractions and instead provide a space to spend time with family and friends or unwind with a book. This room features a modern design, but without the flat screen TV and other electronics that may be found in the rest of the home.
These are some of the biggest home decorating trends for 2016. Which trend are you most looking forward to incorporating into your home?
