Hot Home Trend: Black Is Back

By
Real Estate Agent with Chapman Hall Premier Realtors

Black is getting popular in home design. Black fixtures, appliances, and even black furniture are emerging as one of the hottest trends in the new year.

Black fixtures are replacing brass or rubbed bronze as a trendy home hardware in 2018.

Black makes a great finish because it goes with anything. In matted finishes, it can also be easier to clean than your lighter, polished metals–so that’s definitely an added perk for homeowners too.

Black cabinets in the kitchen are getting trendy too. To offset the darkness, some homeowners are mixing the black cabinets with lighter cabinets. Check out this one from Weston Lodge…

Black stainless appliances are also gradually gaining more momentum in the kitchen. Black stainless was once again being showed in the newest appliance models at CES 2018, the consumer electronics show this year. As  more smudge proof, black stainless is proving itself as a trendy alternative to traditional stainless.

We have black stainless in our kitchen. I really like it. I think the black adds a sophisticated look to rooms when done as you show in your photos. D

I am liking these. I normally do not care for black decor but if done in this manner it can look sophisticated.

Thanks,  , great topic about the "trend" in home designs and color.  Black.  Guess I do not need to change my appliances, now.... interesting how the contrasting color seems to be white in those photos, too.

I am not much on trends.

Last week it was blogged that brushed stainless was the in thing.
