Follow on Google News | Laura Stein Tackles Kitchen And Bathroom Renos And How To Balance Trends At The 2016 Interior DesignBy: Laura Stein Interiors "When we are designing a home for a client, we take a holistic approach to ensure their house flows from room to room and floor to floor," states Laura Stein, Principal and CEO, Laura Stein Interiors, Inc. "Although we incorporate elements from current trends into our projects, not every trend is suitable for the needs and lifestyle of every homeowner. It’s also important to differentiate the trends that will have longevity from the fads that will be fleeting." With so many details to consider and styles to choose from, a kitchen or bathroom renovation can be an overwhelming experience. In her presentation, Laura (http://laurasteininteriors.com/ Some of the trends in kitchens and bathrooms for 2016 include: · Styles are becoming more contemporary with sleek design and clean lines. Classic designs are still current and will never go out of style, but very traditional kitchens with heavy carved wood details are out. · Today’s kitchens are a hub and are no longer just for cooking. Customized storage solutions are key, and include everything from pull out racks to charging stations. · With more and more open floor plans, kitchens are being integrated into the design of the rest of the home, and as much attention is being paid to the aesthetics as to the functionality. Statement lighting and a mixture of textures and materials are all important. · Black makes a bold statement everywhere from plumbing fixtures to cabinets. · Brass is the metal of choice for lighting, hardware and faucets. Look for brass in a brushed or antiqued finish with a warm, rich patina.
