With the start of a new year, it’s only natural to think of ways to improve the appearance of your home both inside and out. As the building supplies team at Huber Lumber in Cincinnati, OH, notes, there are some design trends in particular that are sure to have a big impact in the year to come. Will any of these trends affect your upcoming projects?

Building Supplies Experts’ Top 3 2018 Home Design Trends

1. Natural-Looking Cabinets

An all-white kitchen design has been a popular trend in recent years, but this fad is starting to fade out. Instead, designers are emphasizing a return to using natural wood kitchen cabinets, with an extra focus on lighter colored wood. Combining a light, natural look with a clean, flat design helps create a warmer and more inviting atmosphere that blends traditional and modern sensibilities.

2. Wide Doorways & Halls

An interesting recent trend is an increased demand for wider halls and doorways, fueled in large part by senior citizens who wish to remain in their own homes as they age. A wider design makes it easier to accommodate wheelchairs and other mobility assistance devices. This will undoubtedly have an impact on many construction and renovation projects in 2018.

3. Matte Hardware

Wood and paint aren’t the only things that define the look of doors and cabinets. Preferences for drawer pulls, doorknobs, and other hardware are also changing. As an interest in rustic styles increases, so too has the demand for matte metal hardware. These hardware pieces are less shiny than other gold- or silver-accented hardware, creating a warmer, cozier feel.
