According to Pinterest, there has been a 45% increase in searches for mustard in the interior design section in recent weeks. According to Houzz, more people are using rich, dark colors as a focal point in their designs. As you can see above, we recommend incorporating it as an accent in the form of a chair, an accent wall in a room, or perhaps an accent tile in a bathroom.
2. Antibacterial Elements
Imagine a countertop that will disinfect itself, or a light that will disinfect your shower or your countertops! There’s no need to imagine anymore. This pas year, two companies have introduced two revolutionary products that have raised eyebrows throughout the global design community.
The first is the new K-Life technology incorporated into Porcelanosa’s Krion solid surface. Not only is this surface antibacterial, but also eliminates chemicals that come into contact with it, as well as purifies the surrounding air.
How does it accomplish this? Through a process called photocatalysis, which uses a semiconductor in the surface to enhance a reaction to light, killing bacteria and breaking up pollutants.
The next is Evolution Lighting. They recently introduced their Ellumi LED bacteria-killing light for under-cabinet lighting and as a shower-safe recessed retrofit. Evolution’s lights use LEDs instead of UV or chemicals, and the company claims they can combat mold, fungi, and bacteria on any surface.
3. Mosaic Tiling
We have seen a huge turn toward mosaic tiling as a trend this year, ranging from the uber modern and geometric to classic and Scandinavian as you see above. From backsplashes to bathroom walls, mosaic tiling is all the rage. There are so many options that can be incorporated into your kitchen and bathroom design.
4. Millwork Walls and Detailing
All hail Chip and Joanna Gaines and their famous support of all things shiplap. In addition to shiplap, we are seeing a trend toward all kinds of millwork walls and detailing in all rooms of the house.
5. Matte Black Everything
