These will be the biggest design trends in American homes in 2018

Minimalist designs and soothing colors will make bedrooms more relaxing and restful spaces.

Intricate tile designs can add a compelling compositional element to a wall while being more damage-resistant than wallpaper.

Wooden walls with designs etched into them have been popular in bathrooms and kitchens, but expect to see them in bedrooms more frequently.

While concrete is a common building material, it may become more prominent in decorative contexts.

Trough sinks tend to be wider and deeper than the sinks that are most common today, which makes them a good choice for bathrooms shared between children or laundry rooms.

Vintage lighting fixtures, like aged copper pendant lights, are making a comeback.

Floral prints have always been popular, but expect to see more floral designs that use contrasting colors.

Houzz expects sinks made with materials like stone, copper, concrete, and granite to become popular in 2018.

Paying attention to color throughout the home can make your furniture and decorative items pop.

Increasing the amount of color in your kitchen can give it a warmer, more personal touch while also making cooking-related stains and damage less apparent.
