We blogged this last year, and were interested to revisit it to see how we felt about these trends one year later. This is what the design professionals had to say, what do you say?
IN: White Cabinets, Quartz Countertops, Stone & Glass Tiles, Farmhouse Sinks
OUT: Ice Machines, Wallpaper, Granite
See what WE had to say here: http://blog.akatlanta.com/2011/11/whats-tren... (Hint: We didn't completely agree!)
Hardwood is another fantastic idea. Sounds like your home is going to be stunning! You might not want to sell after all!
And, Becky J that's very interesting to know that you wouldn't even consider buying a home with wallpaper. You've obviously taken it down before! It certainly can be a painstaking process - we frequently do it ourselves. We still love what the right wallpaper can add to a room - pattern & texture - but if you're not a fan you can accomplish so much with painted finishes!
When we built our new home two years ago, the trend setters said that granite was no longer "in". I chose it anyway, and am enjoying it a lot. As far as color goes, I like what I like and that's what I use.
When it comes right down to it, while resale is a factor to be considered for many of us, who would want to live in a house without your own personal style and unique flair? We're always interested in the trends, but more interested in our clients' personal taste!
We wonder, too, Jeanette, what they think is the "IN" way to make ice?!
Pat: Thanks for posting your paint colors. I had been trying to think of a color I'd used in the past as a base color when faux painting. Guess what? It's Swiss Coffee. Thanks!
- Large, double sinks
- A range with several burners and a big over - not only stylish and practical, but also ...»
- Primary colors! Homeowners are becoming more bold in their choices for kitchens. Blocks of red and blue are popular, but if you want to be more traditional than a rustic farmhouse look never fails!
