Leslie notes one might see stainless steel appliances in the kitchen with copper and gold accents, or the use of rubbed bronze or nickel doorknobs that contrast metal light fixtures. “The use of metal home décor accents in different materials has been popular. The blending of materials creates a really interesting space. I think this trend is here to stay.”

is a long-standing contender. This coveted stone aligns with today’s farmhouse chic style. London Fog is also a color making its way to the top of the list, returning remodelers back to the gray and white tones we’ve seen in the past. These stones are often seen in bathrooms and gourmet kitchens.
