2019 Houzz Home Trends Predictions
-
Tile Backsplash Feature Walls

Glass and Steel Room Dividers
Glass and steel front doors and showers have been increasing in popularity over the years. The trend is still going strong for 2019, but it's carrying over into dividers between interior rooms. A glass and steel divider gives the illusion of open space while still providing privacy and noise control along with a stylish graphic element.

Black is Back
White kitchens have been popular for the past few years, but we're now seeing a return to black via kitchen cabinets, range hoods and island accents. Tuxedo kitchens that contrast black with white walls, backsplashes and countertops look especially dynamic and sophisticated.

Dark and Moody Colors
Deeper, moodier colors like navy, black and forest green are expected to be more favorable for 2019. Color experts suspect it may be a reaction to all the whites and bright colors people have been leaning toward for years.
