What I wish I knew before remodeling my kitchen.

Contemporary Kitchen Lighting

Above the kitchen’s Taj Mahal quartzite island, twin hand-formed wicker pendants take center stage, commanding attention and addressing the senses. The use of uber-textural statement lighting to create a cozy atmosphere is an increasingly popular trend in modern kitchen spaces. The large-scale tumbleweed-shaped island fixtures create a striking juxtaposition against the dining room’s elegant chandelier, adding a dynamic mix of whimsical lighting to the home. Shimmering light creates a playful and feminine flourish in the space. [Read: 2023 Kitchen Trends According to Designers]

Kitchen Cabinet Natural Wood

Custom home design trends are moving away from the starkness of white finishes and embracing the warm, inviting tones of natural woods. (7 Home Decor Trends to Look For According to Designers, Washingtonian) This approach creates a cozier atmosphere that welcomes you in with open arms. In addition to the shift in color, designers are now opting for single, carefully curated displays instead of multiple shelves. This approach adds interest to the space but also helps prevent the overwhelming feeling of visual clutter.

Kitchen Backsplash Ideas

But it’s not just about color and display. Glossy finishes on backsplashes have become increasingly popular as they create a reflective effect that brightens the room and adds a touch of sophistication. And when it comes to open kitchen storage, simplicity is key. Using a restrained color palette and design can help prevent the space from feeling overcrowded and allow the beauty of the pieces on display to shine through (Homes and Gardens Kitchen Trends).

Home Beverage Bars: A Popular Trend

The kitchen features a formal bar bejeweled with shimmering hand-formed Moroccan zellige tiles and a bar sink and faucet. It seamlessly blends in with the home’s overall design, providing luxury and functionality. Additionally, the beverage bar trend has been growing in popularity for elevating the overall home experience. It offers versatility in serving coffee, tea, and alcoholic beverages for entertaining guests.

Custom Home Office

After exploring the nature-inspired primary bedroom in our custom home tour, let’s shift our focus to another essential living space: the home office.

Home Office Decor

One emerging trend in home office design is the adaptable use of space. As seen in this custom home, a steel and glass wall offers the flexibility to transform the room into a guest room, gym, or playroom. This versatile approach enables homeowners to tailor their living spaces to accommodate their changing requirements.

But a well-designed home office goes beyond just adaptability. Notably, many homeowners seek light, bright, and airy spaces for their workspace. Clean, minimal designs with ample natural light help create an environment that promotes focus and a positive mindset. Bright rooms can enhance alertness and encourage the flow of creative ideas, making your home office a sanctuary for productivity and inspiration.

Home Office Desk

To further enhance your home office, consider a statement desk that not only looks great but also provides functionality. A power desk like the Kaela desk in weathered blonde or the Lindy desk for larger spaces, may resonate. Check out Alchemy Fine Home, 2Modern or Lumens for focal-point-worthy desks. With these design tips in mind, you can transform your office into a space that dovetails beautifully with your lifestyle. Whether you’re drawn to a striking, eye-catching power desk or a peaceful, light-drenched workspace, this year’s home office trends cater to diverse preferences. As you explore these trends, envision a home office that truly resonates with you, inspiring productivity and striking the perfect work-life balance.
