Expect to see a lot more blue hues and navy on kitchen islands and walls. Backsplashes will feature more graphic and colourful patterns and furniture and accessories will be brighter and bolder. We also expect to see a lot of matte black accessories and appliances finishing off those styled kitchens.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Spa-Inspired Bathrooms<\/b><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1138\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1138\" style=\"width: 620px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1138 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/mennosmartin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Valerie-Wilcox-via-House-Home.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"833\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1138\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/houseandhome.com\/rooms\/dreamy-bathroom-doubles-dressing-room\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Image Credit: Valerie Wilcox via House &amp; Home<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Even if you can\u2019t escape to a luxury hotel, you can still have a resort-inspired bathroom of your own. Toilets are going high-tech with seat warmers and automatic lid features. Brass and gold textures are also making a comeback, and mixed metals are especially hot for 2018. Stand alone tubs, wet rooms in place of showers and the addition of soft furnishings, chic lighting and furniture-inspired storage shift the role of the bathroom from&nbsp;a practical space, to another beautiful living space in your home.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Closet Overhauls&nbsp;<\/b><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1137\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1137\" style=\"width: 658px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1137 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/mennosmartin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Alex-Lukey-House-Home.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"658\" height=\"889\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1137\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/houseandhome.com\/gallery\/photo-gallery-chic-closets-dressing-rooms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Image Credit: Alex Lukey via House &amp; Home<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Maximize space and function with a clever closet design that is both beautiful and full of storage and organizational features. Adding drawers provides an out-of-sight organizational option and double hanging makes use of vertical space. Back wall accenting can also be incorporated with wood panelling, wallpaper or paint making your closet Instagram worthy.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Bold Statement Ceilings<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Statement ceilings are going to be everywhere in home design magazines and blogs for 2018. They have the ability to transform an entire room, from top to bottom and can be achieved with all kinds of finishes like paint, wallpaper, wood, exposed beams, metal and more!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1136\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1136\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1136 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/mennosmartin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Image-credit-Jacqueline-Marque-Apartment-Therapy.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"979\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1136\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.apartmenttherapy.com\/jim-lauras-lightfilled-providence-colonial-house-tour-205996\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Image credit: Jacqueline Marque via Apartment Therapy<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Do you have your own design trends you\u2019d love to share?
