New home design trends excite both young and old shopping for houses. Who doesn’t like do go look at new homes? Magazines like House Beautiful picture homes full of new trends, and HGTV programs tout show homes with all the new styles and colors, new technology with new apps, new appliances and new fixtures. And it fascinates us! So what will the trends be in 2019? Let’s take a look.

STACKED STONE IS DEFINITELY IN
            Stacked stone was one of the new trends for house exteriors in 2018, and builders expect it to continue to be popular in 2019. Its many shades gives it versatility in color palettes. It is even being used inside homes for beautiful fireplaces, stacked from floor to ceiling.
50 SHADES OF GRAY WASN’T JUST A BOOK!
            For several years, shades of gray have been showing up in houses in all forms—from exterior colors to interior walls to cabinetry, fireplace brick, kitchen and bathroom tile, and flooring. Its neutrality has made it a popular background for other palettes in the wall colors, cabinetry, décor, appliances, even artwork. While it is versatile and popular, it will be less popular in 2019. Warmer neutral tones are being featured in home palettes like Sherwin Williams’ Cavern Clay, a soft warm shade that reminds one of a Southwest mesa but looks beautiful on kitchen cabinets. Behr’s 2019 Color of the Year, Blueprint, is reminiscent of the blue-gray of architectural drawings and mixes well with the jewel tones of vine leaf, raisin in the sun or amber autumn as well as the earth tones of mars red, kindling taupe and elephant brown.
DO BLONDES HAVE MORE FUN?
                   Blonde wood tones will be very popular in 2019 flooring and cabinetry. Atkins says, “The blond tones and natural wood tones are becoming more popular with our home buyers.” Blonde flooring works with just about any decor and instantly makes a room look bigger. Its neutrality welcomes any color palette and any décor style. Loercher agrees. “Hardwood flooring is going lighter.  As we see overall interior paint colors warming up with some bold rooms setting the stage, lighter floors compliment the darker walls achieving balance in a room.”
