Considering a Home Remodel?
Perhaps you’re envisioning a full-scale renovation or simply seeking to refresh a single room with a distinctive aesthetic. Before embarking on any project—large or small—it’s essential to understand the latest trends shaping contemporary home design. Below, we explore some of these exciting concepts, along with examples from recent projects that bring them to life.
Bold Wallpaper: Colors and Patterns That Make a Statement
One of the most prominent trends gaining momentum is the use of bold colors and striking patterns in wallpaper. Rather than covering an entire room, consider creating a feature wall with a dramatic design, complemented by softer tones throughout the remaining space. This approach delivers visual interest without overwhelming the room. For those who love a daring touch, applying bold wallpaper in a compact area—such as a powder room—can transform it into a true design focal point.
Lighting as Art
Lighting has evolved beyond mere functionality to become a sculptural and artistic element within interior spaces. Thoughtfully selected fixtures can serve as striking accents while fulfilling their practical purpose. Homeowners are increasingly embracing lighting as a medium for creative expression, using statement pieces to infuse personality and elevate the overall aesthetic. Whether complementing a mid-century modern design or introducing a dramatic focal point, lighting as art adds undeniable flair and sophistication.
The Appeal of Mixed Metals
Another emerging trend is the deliberate use of mixed metal finishes. Rather than adhering to a single tone, designers are blending complementary metals to create depth and visual interest. For example, in one of our recent bathroom projects, we paired Matte Black with Champagne Bronze—a combination that exudes elegance and balance. The key to achieving harmony lies in repetition: incorporate each finish at least twice, ideally three times, to ensure the mix feels intentional rather than accidental. In this design, Champagne Bronze was featured on plumbing fixtures, towel bars, and vanity lighting, while Matte Black defined the shower frame, mirrors, and cabinet hardware. The result is a cohesive yet dynamic look that feels curated and contemporary.
Warmer Tones in Cabinetry
A prominent trend in contemporary kitchen design is the embrace of warmer, natural tones in cabinetry. Light wood finishes are particularly sought after for their ability to create an inviting and organic aesthetic. In one of our recent projects, we extended this concept by incorporating a full-height backsplash—using the same material for both the countertop and backsplash. This approach not only enhances durability and ease of maintenance but also achieves a streamlined, minimalist look. The warm wood cabinetry and flooring are thoughtfully balanced with cooler blue wall tones, resulting in a harmonious interplay of color and texture that feels both modern and timeless.
