HERE’S WHAT’S NEW IN KITCHEN DESIGN

For those people who like to feel current by following trends, there’s a lot going on in kitchen design to bring excitement and newness to this most productive room in your home.
 As an interior designer, I am bombarded with new options for materials, finishes and other ideas this time of year. If you are ready to try something new, consider the following:

Matte Black & Grey Finishes.

Kitchen Sink --  What’s “in” now is concrete, stone, copper and granite composite sinks in darker hues of gray, bronze or black. (see picture above)

Last year, satin brass made its debut in kitchens and that trend continues in other interior spaces. This finish looks amazing against almost any color and when mixed with other finishes creates an eclectic look. In 2018, look for matte black in baths as well. If you are looking for a statement-making look that is both contemporary and complementary with a variety of materials and styles, embrace this versatile finish.

Mixing Metals and Sheen.
Think shiny brass mixed with matte black steel, or a honed countertop with matte tile backsplash is one of my favorites for kitchen or bathroom.

Color, Color, Color!
While it is true that white will always be a classic palette for the kitchen, we are now seeing a rise in color, especially neutrals such as gray and blue. Warm wood tones (flat panel doors) are a popular replacement for painted cabinets, leading to refined, rich palettes.

Kitchens with Dining Table
Not everyone favors big islands, especially for family meals. More people, especially those with smaller kitchens, are using a traditional dining table instead of an island.

Tile
New tiles look like wood, concrete, resin, fabric or wallpaper. The latter is prized for offering the elaborate pattern look of modern-day wallpapers while also being durable to wipe down with a sponge and detergent.

Hidden Range Hoods
You can make a statement in your kitchen with range hoods. In compact spaces, however, you do not want another bulky appliance. Instead, consider hiding a hood behind elegant cabinetry. It will give your kitchen a simplified and elegant look.

Useful ideas on choosing a bookcase

Du interiors  Bookcases can be classical, fanciful, functional and personal …they really add to the anatomy of a room. They display your favorite reads as well as framed memories. There are so many options on deciding on the best for your nest. Here are important considerations. What Size Should Your Bookcase Be? The most basic consideration is size. How much space do you have in the room you have in mind? If space is ample, wide bookcases that measure several feet across are a good design idea. However, if room is small, go up!
