Local design expert Christ Nairn reveals the hottest trends in home design and shares tips for loving the heart of every home: the kitchen.

Q: What is trending right now? 

A: Pops of color are so trendy right now! Emerald green, yes! Deep yellows, yes! Bright oranges, yes! These jewel tones have taken every corner of the home by storm: backsplashes, rugs, couches, and statement pieces. The look is bright and bold!

Q: What should Arvada readers keep in mind when considering home renovation?

A: Be innovative! Get out of your comfort zone! Do not be afraid of design! You should feel empowered by your design choices! Pay close attention to the composition and durability of finishes. That is how I design my spaces!

Countertop Faves

Marble: A metamorphic rock that is known for its beauty and character.

Quartz: A man-made engineered stone surface that is hard and extremely durable.

Granite: A non-porous stone that offers natural protection and is easy to clean.

Leathered: A matte finish that hides fingerprints, water spots, and smudges.

Q: What tips do you have for homeowners looking to renovate and refine their kitchen? 

A: The kitchen is the heart of the home! The trend of open concept continues to be at the forefront of the best home renovations. I suggest doing your homework as a consumer and hiring a designer if you can. Identify what your kitchen needs, know your cooking style, and consider how your family lives. Blend that with the current trends, and try to keep it neutral. 

Oh, and LAYOUT, LAYOUT, LAYOUT must not be overlooked! It is so important that your kitchen is functional, for it serves your family daily! Of course you can add personal touches, but stay inside the guardrails of conventional design.
