Surprising Home Trends of <strong>2016</strong><br />

I tend to be cautious when<br />

speaking of home trends. Often,<br />

the word “trend” scares people<br />

as they automatically believe<br />

a “trend” is something that is<br />

going to go out of style in a<br />

short amount of time. While<br />

this is often true, there are some<br />

trends that have longevity, and<br />

from a design standpoint, they<br />

are important to acknowledge.<br />

Inspired from Elle Décor’s article<br />

by Bridget Mallon, here are some<br />

trends from <strong>2016</strong> so far that have<br />

the potential to stick around for<br />

a while:<br />

Slate/Black Stainless<br />

Steel Appliances: Although<br />

stainless steel is still king in the<br />

appliance finish world, there is<br />

a new finish available and ready<br />

to take on the market. Black<br />

saute & GRill<br />

RestauRant<br />

stainless steel or slate appliances<br />

offer an interesting alternative to<br />

the shine and fingerprint-prone<br />

stainless steel. It has been described<br />

as being a warmer alternative<br />

to traditional stainless and<br />

works well in sleek contemporary<br />

kitchens. Stainless steel appliances<br />

will not be fading away any<br />

time soon, but if you are looking<br />

for a unique and smudge proof<br />

option, a black stainless appliance<br />

suite may be the way to go!<br />

Matte Finishes: Along<br />

the same vein as black stainless<br />

steel, we are noticing an overall<br />

trend in less shiny materials.<br />

Matte black cabinet hardware,<br />

oxidized zinc table tops, and iron<br />

light fixtures, among other accessories<br />

are all the rage right now.<br />

“The simplicity of the surface<br />

allows the color<br />

and design to be<br />

the focus rather<br />

than the texture<br />

of your materials,”<br />

says Shannon<br />

Malone of<br />

Fireclay Tile.<br />

Even the evertimeless<br />

glazed<br />

white subway tile can get a little<br />

style boost when it is in a matte<br />

finish. That being said, don’t feel<br />

you have to get rid of all things<br />

shiny—polished finishes are not<br />

going out of style, but consider<br />

mixing a shiny finish with a matte<br />

finish for a stunning contrast.<br />

Mixed Materials in Kitchens:<br />

Looking for a great way to<br />

mix polished and matte finishes?<br />

How about in the kitchen! A<br />

big kitchen trend of this year<br />

has been mixing materials, often<br />

According to a survey by Masterbrand<br />

Cabinets, the most popular<br />

kitchen styles these days are<br />

“modern farmhouse” and “rustic<br />

industrial.” Both of these styles<br />

are almost oxymorons in name<br />

and lend themselves to a wide<br />

variety of materials and finishes<br />

for an eclectic and personalized<br />

space. Check out this kitchen I<br />

designed as an example that has<br />

rustic hand-scraped wood floors,<br />

sleek man-made quartz countertops,<br />

traditional subway tile in a<br />

non-traditional color, and a pop<br />

of animal print.<br />

Mismatched Cabinets:<br />

Another way to achieve the<br />

mixed materials look in a kitchen<br />

is to bring in a bold accent color<br />

or texture in cabinetry. An allwhite<br />

kitchen is timeless, but how<br />

about a white kitchen with a navy<br />

blue island? Or, if you are really<br />

brave (and have a large kitchen),<br />

take 3 or 4 colors that work well<br />

together and combine them in<br />

to one cohesive space, like this<br />

kitchen below from Diamond<br />

Cabinetry. By keeping sleek lines<br />

and neutrals elsewhere in the<br />

space, the bold color choices are<br />

able to make a statement without<br />

being egregious or overtly trendy.<br />

Bottom line: no one knows<br />

how long a trend is going to last<br />

for, but elements of the above<br />

<strong>2016</strong> trends, like adding a matte<br />

gold table lamp in your living<br />

room or incorporating a rustic<br />

wood shelf in your kitchen, can<br />

easily be combined into classic<br />

designs to create a unique and<br />

progressive space that is all your<br />

own.<br />
