What’s trending in home design now?
Whether making over your current space in Brooklyn, or moving up to an oversized single family home in Manhattan; here are the interior design trends to make sure you space is highly functional, fun, and fashionable…
​
Designer Interiors 

With the world’s favorite fashion brands including; Ferrari, Porsche, and Armani moving into the world of real estate, it is now all about designer label interiors. If not purchasing in a fashion label branded building look for some incredible accents. Think Hermes pillows and blankets, Versace coffee cups, and DKNY tableware.
​
Wall Art

Unique custom wall art is definitely in. Wallpaper has made a huge comeback. For those sticking with paint Pantone says pastel blues and pinks are the colors for 2016.

Spa-Like Bathrooms

​For bathroom makeovers it is all about replicating the spa like feel of the world’s top resorts. Dark wood and seamless gray marbles, with oversized shower heads should all be on the list. For those with the space consider a separate massage room, and expanding the walk-in closets to include a separate show closet.

Cubes & Hidden Storage

Most everything can be doubled to provide hidden storage. Multipurpose cubes can provide utility on the outside, and storage on the inside, while leaving most of the rest of the room freed up.

Expensive Fridges

Forget the cheap $5,000 Samsung smart fridge. You can spend $40,000 or more for a truly top of the line fridge that will wow your guests.

Retro Kitchens

Kitchen stainless steel to the curb. Colored appliances, and particularly pastel colored blues, pinks, and 60s greens are in!

​Dual Purpose Kitchen Islands

Turn your kitchen island into an entertaining focal point to gather around. Make it a bar, a sushi station, a Hibachi grill, or something else. In one recent survey two thirds of contractors said they had recently been asked to incorporate offices into the kitchen.
