Best: Retro Color Palettes
“Dusty rose, sage and stony blue are coming back,” says Genevieve Gorder, a designer on the upcoming Trading Spaces reboot and spokesperson for Air Wick limited edition seasonal scents. “These three colors were all over homes in the late 80s and early 90s, but are back now in a more geometric way and I’m ready to embrace them again.”
Best: Minimal Decor
“I’m seeing in a lot of spaces where people are appreciating a more minimalistic look, but within every kind of style — not just modern,” says Joanna Gaines, the star of HGTV’s Fixer Upper and mastermind behind Magnolia Home by Joanna Gaines Paint in partnership with Kilz. “I think this is happening because the older we all get, the crazier life is and the more we crave simpler things.”
Best: Two-Toned Cabinets
“I love that people are starting to use color in the kitchen and on cabinets, especially when they paint lower cabinets a darker color than upper cabinets,” says TV personality and designer on the new season of Trading Spaces, Sabrina Soto.
Best: Warm Vibes
“We are putting more warmth back into homes after we’ve had such a trend of stark and extreme decor for years,” says Doug Wilson, a designer on the upcoming Trading Spaces reboot. “We’ll see more warm tones, as well as textures — unlike the flat paint we’ve dealt with for so long on the wall.” Sounds cozy.
Best: Brass Hardware
“Brass hardware is an easy way to upgrade any case pieces or millwork to make them feel more custom,” says Highlyann Krasnow, founder of The Design High. But why? “Brass is very warm and adds a little bit of glam to any space.”
