Design trends are moving away from the stark white and gray minimalist aesthetic, ushering in a warmer, gentler look. Driftmier Design, a premier kitchen and bath designer in Madison, Wisconsin, can tell you more about it.
For example, soft, matte pastels in shades of pink, blue and green are becoming more and more popular for the kitchen and bathroom. The muted colors are mixed against a background of soft gray, making them instantly modern. Another trend is pairing dark, glossy natural stone countertops with cabinets in pale, pastel hues.
However, if you can keep your white cabinets, simply change the doors of the lower cabinets to a natural, or colored, wood for a more contemporary look. Cool shades of gray are also giving way to warmer shades with beige and yellow undertones.
For the bathroom, white and gray are still popular, but, like the kitchen, soft, pastel shades of pink, blue and green are trending. In addition, natural marble slabs, and tile, and bold wallpaper in the bathroom is making a statement. Right now, geometrically shaped tile and textured, matte finishes give the bathroom depth and style.
If pastels don’t appeal to you, matte black bathroom tiles, cabinets, and plumbing fixtures make a bold statement. When paired with natural stone, the effect is stunning. Brushed gold plumbing fixtures are also trending, and add elegance to both black or a softer color scheme.
