2019 Houzz Home Design Trends

Add Warmth to White Kitchens

While white kitchens will still be trending, homeowners will be looking for ways to break up the monotony. Wood drawers, shelves and pullouts are easy ways to warm up the cool space.

Dining With Personality

We’re all pretty busy, but next year we’ll all be flocking to our dining rooms for all major meals. Why? Dining rooms are set to become centerpieces bursting with as much personality (via colors, patterns and lighting) as living rooms, bedrooms and more.

Take a Seat

The ~~best~~ only seat in the bathroom may be the toilet, but that’s about to change. Come 2020 homeowners will be looking for more places to unwind and adding stools or built-in benches to their restrooms is a great place to start.

Tiles for Miles

We’re used to seeing tile decorating bathroom floors and now the material is spreading to our bathtubs. Wrapping your tub apron in tile is a great way to upgrade a standard tub. Not a tile fan? Try using wood or another material.

Soften Things Up

Homeowners will be looking to tone down their kitchens with softer shades, like light grays and blues. The more subdued hues are the perfect counterpoint to all those warmer white cabinets.

Double or Nothing

Why have one floating vanity when you can have two? Double floating vanities are on the rise as people look to add more space and style to their bathrooms. Plus, it makes cleaning the floor a breeze.

Wrap It Up

Add character to your powder room with eye-catching wallpaper. It’s just like topping off your look with a statement coat to really turn heads.

Expand Your Range

Remember how we said white kitchens are about to get a whole lot warmer? So is your range hood. Incorporating a wooden accent brings a touch of texture and breaks up all that white.
