Design Trends: Brass Accents

Brass accents are becoming more and more prevalent as we progress through 2019. Brass is a surprisingly warm and subtle alternative to the expected steel accents. It is much more understated and luxurious than it used to be and that is why we are seeing it in more homes! The thing about brass is that when done in a tasteful manner, it never goes out of style. While people may not be as interested in covering their rooms in wall-to-wall brass, it is well-suited to accent pieces, fixtures, lights and other smaller decor items. Check out a few photos for design inspiration!

Design Trends: Kitchen Backsplash

Updating your kitchen backsplash is a good way to revive the space and give it a fresh look. Especially if you have a tract home, this is a good way to make your kitchen stand out on resale. For the best results, don’t DIY unless you really know what you’re doing. Always work with a professional: we’d be happy to recommend some. And if you’re planning to sell your home in the future, don’t get too crazy with the tile design. It may turn off some buyers who can’t look past the tiles in the kitchen or who don’t want to invest the money to change it.
