The home is the perfect place for you to express your creativity and personal style; however, there is certainly nothing wrong with choosing to go with the flow and designing your home according to the latest trends. Here are some of the newest home design trends to watch out for in 2016:
"Out with the old, in with the new" is a popular saying, which can pretty much be applied in any situation. Such case is also applicable when it comes to home design. While there are certain designs that appear timeless, Realtor.com notes that many homeowners should be on the lookout for the upcoming trends in home design.
For instance, gold and bronze items and pieces will remain a popular choice among homeowners, but copper and rose metals are also making their way into the scene. Several items in these tones are already readily available in stores, including kitchen fixtures in rose gold.
Apart from the metallics, rustic fanatics may also go through several changes in terms of the look and shade of their cabinets and floorings. The publication reports that blond wood and gray-washed cabinets may be the next best things to hit homes this 2016.
Gray-washed oak is said to work best for those who cannot seem to integrate their desire for a country looking home with their city-based houses. Blond wood is also a popular choice among Scandinavians, but it looks like Americans will soon be embracing this tone in place of dark, heavy woods.
Furniture pieces are also expected to have fringes by the end of 2016.
"In 2016, we'll be surrounded by fringe," said lead interior designer at InStyleModern.com, Maria Samuels.
As previously reported on Realty Today, kitchen trends also include a shift from white motifs to pastel colors. Houses are also expected to add hidden charging stations at home in order to keep pace with the changing times and transition into a smart home.
