"While earth tones are still popular, many clients have been gravitating toward bolder colors for walls and trim. Sometimes, even ceilings are being painted a complementary color as opposed to white. Painted cabinets are still the most popular finishes for kitchens and vanities - many of these are also bolder colors; dark and rich blues and greens have been popular. Things like built-in bookcases and entertainment centers often blend seamlessly into the surrounding trim color."
"We are seeing white oak and walnut colors being incorporated into kitchens, baths, and elsewhere. This may be part of a trend to bring the outdoors into our homes. Natural stone for countertops is also coming back. Quartz (a manufactured product) countertops have been the more popular choice overall for quite a few years. That is mainly because of the ease of maintenance, plus the color and finish selections are seemingly endless."
Demand for bold paint colors has increased, with homeowners choosing stronger hues for walls, trim, ceilings, and painted cabinets, often using dark blues and greens. Natural materials such as white oak, walnut, and a renewed interest in granite and quartzite are appearing in kitchens and baths alongside long-popular quartz countertops. Homeowners seek unique stone features like a distinctive island slab. Designs favor more natural light through larger or additional east- and south-facing windows, bigger patio doors, and skylights for upper-floor rooms. Interest in electrification features such as electric vehicle chargers and heat pumps is also growing.
