According to the National Association of Realtors, about 5.1 million homes will be sold in the U.S. in 2014. Whether consumers are in the market to buy or sell, Granite Transformations has identified several trends for the upcoming year.
Going Green: Homeowners continue to be environmentally conscious by incorporating sustainable elements into their home design. Granite Transformations has partnered with Kohler to create Terra Chiara and Terra di Siena, a line of countertop surfaces that feature varying flecks of gold, brown, black and white and are made with up to 51 percent of Kohler repurposed and pre-consumer porcelain products.
Seeing Red: Homeowners and designers alike will be drawn to vibrant colors throughout the home this year. Add a splash of red or hints of other hues with mosaic tile to add flair and character.
Let The Sun Shine: Reflective tile backsplashes and light granite countertops will give any kitchen the illusion of more light and space.
Back to Earth: Incorporating earth tones into the kitchen for a tranquil and serene sensation will be popular again in 2014.
Mixed Metals: Lustrous countertops with metallic influences such as silver fixtures and accents complemented by a mosaic backsplash with 24k gold tiles for a touch of glamour will be on trend for bathrooms.
