Granite and matte finishes that are leathered or honed are becoming very popular for your kitchen. These finishes are not shiny instead they have a satin or soft look. Honed pieces do not have the mirror-like appearance like granite countertops but they are equally as durable.
Nude colors such as grays, charcoal black, tinted beiges and off-whites are widely being used right now as they have a clean appearance. Neutral paint color decisions have more than just an aesthetic purpose; they also lower maintenance time. These muted colors on cabinets are low maintenance and have to be cleaned less than standard paint colors.
Countertops in the bathroom are starting to feature custom pieces in custom shapes or with more complicated edges. Some are adding pieces such as glass bowls as opposed to the traditional, large vanities or built-in pieces.
