New Design trends from Houzz



What makes interior design such an interesting field is that new ideas from creative designers are never-ending. Tradition is not a negative, but creatively adding different ways of enhancing space is exciting. Du interiors is all for using imagination to the fullest. Transforming spaces into coziness, glamor, a sanctuary or welcoming is an art form. It lifts the spirit and turns bland into bold, ordinary into extraordinary. If 2019 is the year you go from dreaming to doing, we want to share new design trends from Houzz with you. 
Because some people are intimated by hiring an interior designer, let me assure you that there are many ways to achieve what you want with a creative designer whose goal is pleasing her clients!
A consultation helps me understand what you want to achieve in your personal space.
For the last several months, I have enjoyed reading about trends in my field. What are the BIG THREE Design Trends I like best?

For kitchens, the most dominant trends are the L-shape layout, transitional style, white/gray Shaker-Style cabinets, white quartz countertops, white/gray walls, striking tile wall features (larger format tiles in herringbone, chevron or stacked patterns) from countertop to ceiling. Trends include floating shelves, wood floors and stainless steel appliances. 
Striking tile wall

Another trend that draws my attention is removing upper cabinets on at least one kitchen wall to create an expansive window wall that delivers views and natural light. Cabinet design has become more efficient so we are able to make up for lost storage space with pantry walls. Cabinets span floor to ceiling and countertop to cabinets.
Large kitchen windows

Black accents! These include black range hoods, island accent colors and full-on black cabinetry as well as black interior glass-and-steel dividers, windows and doors, bath shower enclosures, kitchen and bath faucets and hardware.





Are you ready to bring 2019 trends into your home?

Quarry Lake kitchen reveal

Hello again! My message to you this month centers on a goal – to update a kitchen without changing its bones, the kitchen cabinets or countertops. We were up to the challenge! As you know, what an interior designer does is reveal concepts that might not be obvious but make such a big difference. The short version is that we relocated the TV into the living room so this family of four and a lovely dog could hang out there more often …since the space was not used much. (I will share the new living room space with you in the future. In this message, it’s about the kitchen). ©Elle M Photography ©Elle M Photography Moving the TV created a gathering space that was inviting and cozy and closer to the kitchen/island area. Everyone likes to be near the food! Paint is a wonderful way to create change.  The kitchen cabinets set the tone and, fortunately, this family is not afraid of bringing color into their home. The SW 9134 Delft gloss paint is t...

When a year comes to an end it is a time to reflect back and look forward.

It’s a time to wish you a very Happy New Year from Du Interiors!  No doubt we have all had a difficult and different two years with all kinds of challenges. A lot has changed for all of us.
