After a year as stylish as 2015, it's hard to imagine that anything could top it. But if Houzz's predictions of the 25 biggest design trends of the upcoming year turn out to be true, we're in for a real treat. Click through to see the 10 trends we're most excited for.
Black Stainless Steel
The most popular appliance colors seem to change
every few years — remember the days of pastel
ovens? — and now it looks like polished stainless
steel is on the way out. Instead of gleaming silver
appliances, Houzz predicts that sleek black
stainless steel is the trend of the future.
Formal Dining Rooms
We are beyond ready for sit-down family meals
to make a comeback, and thankfully, Houzz
reports that more homeowners are opting to keep
their formal dining rooms instead of converting them
into media rooms or offices. Here's hoping
they're all as stylish.
Mismatched Cabinets
While there's nothing wrong with an all-white
kitchen , there's something extra special about going
bold and adding a little color or texture to the
space. Houzz even suggests taking a risk and
pairing two different cabinet styles together, and
we have to agree, the result is pretty stunning.
Heated Entryway Floors
When you think of heated floors, bathrooms are
usually the only room that comes to mind, but
bringing that technology into the entryway is
beyond brilliant, especially during the winter,
according to Houzz. Just imagine the bliss of
stepping out of your snowy boots onto a nice
toasty floor.
Statement Bathroom
Mirrors
A plain rectangular mirror certainly gets the job
done, but Houzz predicts that 2016 will be the
year of the statement mirror, and we are so on
board. There's no denying how much this
singular detail can add to an oft-overlooked space
like the bathroom.
Bidets
Bidets have never really caught on in the United
States, but now that high tech toilets can come
with a bidet feature, they're slowly rising in
popularity. Houzz reports that 5% of master baths
now have a bidet, and if their popularity
continues to grow, the number could climb even
higher throughout the year.
Tech-less Living Rooms
Tech-filled homes certainly aren't going anywhere,
but according to Houzz, more and more families
are opting to keep their family rooms unplugged
in order to facilitate more family time. This
stunning digital-free living room is proof that a house
can look smart without being full of gadgets.
Fireplaces
These charming home accents — even non-working
fireplaces — are once again becoming the focal
point of rooms, according to Houzz. Instead of
placing a large TV above the fireplace or ignoring it
all together, people are now arranging their
furniture to put the fireplace center stage.
Bathrooms That Feel Like
Living Spaces
Bathrooms are the one space that seem to
constantly end up overrun by clutter, but
according to Houzz, 2016 will see an end to that.
It's time to take your bathroom back , and to achieve
that goal is to introduce some homey items — like
the plush chairs and fresh flowers here — into the space.
Mixed Materials In Kitchens
In 2016, Houzz predicts that kitchens will eschew
the perfect, polished look for a more eclectic vibe.
Instead of only incorporating one or two
materials, homeowners will turn to a variety of
opposing styles to create a truly personalized
space. This Manhattan kitchen , which features a rustic wood ceiling, a white subway tile backsplash, a
vintage inspired rug, and shiny white countertops, is a perfect example.
