From stone backsplashes to luxury laundry rooms, we have wrapped up what design experts are saying are the new design trends! If you are considering a minor refresh or total home renovation, we hope you find inspiration for your next interior design project.

Seamless Backsplashes

Not a fan of classic subway tile or can’t ever seem to find the perfect backsplash? Expect to see less tile and more stone! A full-height backsplash has a beautiful and timeless design. While tile backsplashes can be trendy and change often, a full-height backsplash gives your kitchen an inspirational, yet everlasting look that never goes out of style. This is perfect for a clean, seamless look with no grout lines.

Kindred Interiors Kitchen Evergreen Fog Sherwin Williams

Pops of Color

Kitchens featuring grey and all white design features have always been popular but that’s not what is trending currently! Color is making a return and we can expect to see homeowners incorporating a variety of hues into their homes.

With both Sherwin Williams and Benjamin Moore choosing shades of green as the 2022 color of the year; green is the current major kitchen trend.

Kitchen Islands take the Spotlight

Kitchen islands serve as a meal prep area, homework station and a buffet line for family dinners! Designers speculate their popularity will increase as homeowners focus on improving their storage space. Consider including cabinets or built-in features that allow you to get the most out of your space! Pair it with a natural stone or quartz countertops from Cutting Edge Countertops to maximize your kitchen’s functionality!

Organic & Natural Materials

We also expect more natural materials to gain popularity. From natural stones like granite and marble to incorporating wood elements – natural styles are prominent in both kitchens and bathrooms.

Rounded Edges & Curves

We also can expect the kitchen’s classic hard edges and surfaces to take a softer, curvier turn. Curved edges bring a soft calm to the room. They can even allow for a little more seating room at the island without resorting to placing a chair right on a corner!

@kindredinteriors featuring Evergreen Fog

If you’re as invested in the latest home designs trends as we are, then you’ve already heard about the 2022 Colors of the Year. You’ve probably also noticed these colors have one thing in common: the 2022 honorees are green, from Sherwin-Williams’s Evergreen Fog to Benjamin Moore’s October Mist.

Why green? Different colors have the power to influence a range of emotions and can even affect your heart rate, blood pressure and breathing. Because of this, major paint brands found themselves gravitating toward soothing, verdant hues that create serene environments.

Evergreen Fog by Sherwin-Williams

Sherwin-Williams has selected the subtly soothing Evergreen Fog SW 9130 as its 2022 color of the year. This organic color can spread a comforting welcome in entryways, establish quiet and calm in bedrooms or bathrooms, and introduce invigorating energy to living rooms, kitchens and other common areas.

October Mist by Benjamin Moore

Benjamin Moore’s 2022 color of the year is a soft, silvery green called October Mist 1495. This botanical shade mimics the pale green of a flower stem and serves as the foundation for the brand’s larger 2022 color trends palette. The collection includes 14 hues inspired by nature that span tinted off-whites, warm earth tones and refreshed primary colors.

Coordinating Countertop Colors With The 2022 Colors Of The Year

Since we’re so used to seeing all-white kitchens and not everyone has an eye for decorating, you may wonder how you might be able to incorporate these beautiful green tones into your home. Find interior inspiration for how to pair countertop designs from Cutting Edge Countertops with the newly announced Colors of the Year.

Already one of our most popular quartz countertops, we love the idea of pairing Silestone’s Calacatta Gold with Evergreen Fog or October Mist. The design’s blend of cream and blueish grey veins pairs perfectly with both colors of the year to create a combination that’s equally unique and comforting. And the quartz’s subtle gold adds a hint of glam to the soothing green hues.

Not a fan of white countertops? We also love pairing both statement shades, Evergreen Fog and October Mist, with the following complementary designs:

Viatera - Everest

Silestone - Desert Silver

Silestone - Noir

Quartz countertops are often the go-to choice for homeowners looking to update their kitchen and bathrooms because of its unparalleled strength and durability. Cutting Edge Countertops carries a wide range of quartz colors from top brands, so you are sure to find a vibrant or neutral quartz color that suits your style.

Ready to incorporate the color of the year into your home? Whether you choose Evergreen Fog or October Mist, we offer an industry-leading selection of over 2,000 full slabs including natural stone, quartz and compact surface materials to compliment any design. Schedule an appointment with one of our expert Design Consultants so we can help you bring your vision to life!

The beauty of natural stone is truly unmatched, and granite has a one of a kind look that few other countertop materials can compare to.

5 Home Design Trends You Will See In 2020

January 14, 2020

A new year brings hope, excitement and mystery. What the next year, months and days will bring is anyone’s guess. One thing remains: The modern home and how society continues to live in it will always be changing. If you’re planning a renovation in 2020 check out these home design trends predicted to excite homeowners this year.

Backsplashes

andre francois mckenzie sZCteKrE unsplash

Slabs: If you find yourself lost in the endless choices of tile backsplash or the thought of having grout lines makes you hesitate, consider taking your countertop material one step further. A slab backsplash with a unique pattern or a lot of movement will make for an eye-catching design statement in your kitchen. If you are looking for something a little more abstract you can mix and match the backsplash slab with the countertop.

Countertops

Quartzite: Quartzite is rising in popularity amongst homeowners due to its beauty and durability. Quartzite is harder than granite and each slab is unique. This surface is also heat-resistant and more scratch resistant than engineered quartz.

Cabinetry

Three-tone Kitchens: We all have heard the term “two-tone kitchen cabinets” where the upper cabinets are one color and the lower cabinets another. This style dominated kitchens in the past couple of years. It is only natural that designers are building on the trend rather than moving away from it. With a three-tone kitchen, one more color is introduced to create an asymmetry in the color palette that helps define areas of the kitchen or functions.

Islands

Multifunctional Island Centers: Kitchen islands have always been a part of the home but they have certainly been evolving over the years. Many homeowners have taken kitchen islands beyond just storage and a place to sit. Islands are getting bigger and taking on more of a function than ever before. Data shows many homeowners will add in or renovate other features of an island such as a microwave or cooktop. This shows how islands are becoming multifunctional features of the kitchen.

Bathroom

Floating Double Vanities: Choosing to float a vanity frees up floor space which gives the appearance of more room. It also makes cleaning the floor easier than with a furniture style vanity that has legs which can trap dust. So it easy to see why many homeowners are opting for this style in their bathrooms!

These are just of a few of the many great home design trends of 2020 we expect to see. Now it’s your turn! Which of these trends are you excited about? What trends are you predicting in 2020?

Schedule a design session with our experts and learn how we can work with you to provide a truly differentiating solution tailored to meet your distinct needs and ideal vision.

The Best Interior Design Trends of The 2010’s

December 19, 2019

miliamarketing

basement design, bathroom design, design, home design, indianapolis kitchen designers, kitchen design Blog, Trends

The 2010s are coming to an end, and what a decade it was for interior design. Some trends came and went, but others are here to stay. Let’s reminisce on some of the biggest and most memorable interior design trends of the past decade!

Chevron

Who doesn’t remember this iconic zigzag pattern? It was practically everywhere throughout the 2010s! This pattern was incorporated into rugs, pillows, bedding and sometimes even paint. Chevron fabrics often featured bold colors to add even more pop to the eye-catching pattern.

Ombre

This gradual color changing design brought dimension and depth to walls, furniture and home accessories. Accent walls and DIY dip-dyed fabric projects were a few favorite ways people embraced the new look. Ombre also made it’s appearacne in the beauty space too and was insporated into nail are as well as hair treatments.

Matte Black

Matte black became popular toward the end of the decade as more retailers began to offer products in this soft finish. The matte black color was available for metal finishes on kitchen appliances, as well as paint used for walls, cabinetry and furniture.

Boho Decor

This bungalow style boomed with popularity in the 2010s. It’s wild, bold and colorful elements was a contrast to the minimalistic modern designs which were also popular throughout the decade. Tapestry wall hangings, tropical houseplants, and bold print wallpapers feature heavily in these lively spaces.

Modern Farmhouse

Shiplap, exposed beams, barns doors, and farmhouse sinks were some of the top interior design elements in the 2010s. This all stemmed from the popular modern farmhouse decor style. This style introduced cozy and warm spaces that created a welcoming environment with hints of mid-century elements.

Colorful Kitchens

In the 2010s we saw the decline of the all-white kitchen. The trend of incorporating pops of color into the kitchen began to take hold during the decade and is predicted to continue. It brings personality to a space that is thought of to be the heart of the home. Cabinetry and islands are are popular places to add splashes of color. So if you are planning a 2020 kitchen renovation and are looking for a way to create a unique space, try a colorful kitchen island or range!

Now that we have taken a walk down memory lane, what was one of your favorite design trends?

We are excited and look forward to what trends this next decade will bring to the world of interior design!

Whether your preference is timelessly traditional or stunningly sleek, we can help you create the perfect environment to truly transform your home or commercial space.

But how do you choose a type of stone? The selection process can be hard with our wide range of surfaces. Take a look at the characteristics of each stone below to help you decide which surface will be best for your lifestyle or business. Of course, if you still have questions, we’re here to help answer them so give us a call or come visit us!

Natural Stone (Granite, Marble, Other)

One of a Kind

Due to its origin from the earth, natural stone radiates very unique design that is one-of-a-kind. Its veining and speckled details cannot be truly matched by any other manufactured surface (although there are some that come pretty close!). Each stone is different from the rest, making every piece exclusive.

Durability (Moderate-High)

Overall, natural stone is considered to be a very durable stone, but it mostly depends on the type of surface. Granite is more durable than marble because it is composed of a harder substance. Therefore, granite is less susceptible to chips and scratches. It’s also great for outdoor use too.

Stain Resistant (Low-Moderate)

Because natural stone is a porous material, if it is not sealed upon installation, it will absorb liquids and is likely to stain. However, if sealed properly, it is moderately stain resistant. If you have a darker surface, stains are typically not seen. Softer and lighter material, such as marble, has a higher chance of absorbing and showing stains.

Heat Resistant (High)

With its strong durability, comes a high tolerance to heat. All natural stones are great for kitchen countertops because you do not have to worry about placing a boiling hot pan atop the counter. They are simply stress free!

Scratch Resistant (Moderate-High)

Natural stone is just as scratch resistant as it is durable. It is a strong material and you will rarely find a scratch on the surface. You’re more than welcome to use sharp knives on granite, but be aware that this will dull your knives and could more quickly wear down the sealer.

Low Maintenance

Overall, natural stone is very low maintenance. It is easy to clean and it does not require constant upkeep.

Things To Know: Natural Stone

Learn more about the surface, its characteristics, how to care, etc.

VIEW

Quartz

Consistent Color

Because quartz is a manufactured product, quartz can be found in a wide range of colors including natural hues as well as vibrant bold options. Each slab design resembles the next, so you can be sure that your color choice will be the same as a sample and that if your project is larger and requires more than one slab, the material will match perfectly.

Durability (High)

Quartz is one of the strongest materials on the market. You will almost never have to worry, because it is a product made from one of the hardest minerals on earth, and can therefore withstand day-to-day activity.

Stain Resistant (High)

Because it is manufactured, quartz is a non-porous material, which means that no liquids can seep through. Thus, quartz does not absorb any unwanted bacteria and does not stain.

Heat Resistant (High)

Another benefit to having quartz countertops is its high ability to resist heat, although we do always suggest using hot pads or trivets to keep your countertop always looking as good as new.

Scratch Resistant (High)

Quartz will not scratch, as it is extremely durable. Don’t worry about needing a cutting board – you can use sharp knives right on the surface! But be aware, cutting atop this material will dull your knives (so we do still suggest using them!).

Low Maintenance

Because quartz is stain resistant, scratch resistant, and extremely durable, the maintenance is very low. It is easy to clean up and you can use any cleaning product without worrying about destroying the surface.

Things To Know: Quartz

Learn more about the surface, its characteristics, how to care, etc.

VIEW

Solid Surface

Consistent Color

Because it is a manufactured product, solid surface countertops come in all different colors, each the same in design.

Durability (Moderate)

Compared to other surfaces in the market, solid surfaces are moderately durable. They can withstand much of the day to day activities, but be careful about the heavy objects that are placed atop!

Stain Resistant (High)

Solid surface countertops are stain resistant because of its non-porous nature. No need to worry about wine spills or lemon juice – you can simply wipe away the mess and you surface will still appear squeaky clean!

Heat Resistant (Moderate)

Like other material, solid surfaces can withstand heat to a certain degree. However, this isn’t the best product to place extreme heat on. You can easily damage the beauty of your countertop if placing a hot pot and pan, or in opposition, can crack the surface if placing extremely cold objects atop.

Scratch Resistant (Moderate)

Solid surface countertops are softer than quartz, so please take out your cutting board when meal prepping. If you take a sharp knife to the surface, it is possible to cut a deep scratch into the surface, leaving your countertop noticeably rough. Thankfully, you can call a professional to remove the scratches to return your surface back to normal.

Low Maintenance

Overall, solid surfaces are a low maintenance product. It is easy to clean up and does not reveal too many damages if taken care of properly.

Things To Know: Solid Surface

Learn more about the surface, its characteristics, how to care, etc.

VIEW

Compact Surface

Consistent Color

Compact surfaces contain a consistent color through the various collections. A wide range of choices are available, each color being the same within its specific category, much like quartz.

Durability (High)

Similar to quartz countertops, compact surfaces are extremely durable – one of the tops on the list, actually! You don’t have to worry about this material, as it is manufactured to withstand extreme interactions including heavy objects and harsh environments.

Stain Resistant (High)

With its manufactured state of being, comes the ability to resistant stains. Compact surfaces will not absorb any unwanted liquids and bacteria, making it a hassle-free countertop!

Heat Resistant (High)

Compact surfaces can withstand contact with very high AND low temperatures without being damaged. This makes it an ideal surface for both indoor and outdoor kitchens!

Scratch Resistant (High)

Because it is composed of strong and durable materials, compact surfaces are extremely resistant to scratches. You will not need to worry about scratching so cook, prepare, and make a mess as you please!

Low Maintenance

Compact surfaces are a low maintenance material. It will not absorb stains, nor chip and scratch, making it an easy clean up and hassle-free countertop.

Things To Know: Compact Surface

Learn more about the surface, its characteristics, how to care, etc.

VIEW

Laminate

Consistent Color

Laminate countertops are made up of layers of plastic that are bonded to particleboard or kraft paper to create a solid surface. Because it is manufactured to fit a specific look, these countertops come in a wide variety of colors, textures and patterns.

Durability (Low)

Although laminate is a very good choice when choosing a countertop within a tight budget, its durability is very low, making it a difficult surface to keep untouched.

Stain Resistant (Moderate)

Laminate countertops cannot be considered stain proof, but they are definitely stain-resistant. If taken care of properly and not exposed to extreme acidic liquids, laminate surfaces will not reveal unwanted discoloring.

Heat Resistant (Low)

Similar to its stain-resistant capabilities, laminate countertops are not heat resistant but can, in fact, endure a low amount of heat. If limited, the surface will be able to withstand warm temperatures, but make sure that nothing too hot comes in contact or your countertop will be damaged!

Scratch Resistant (Moderate)

Laminate countertops are eligible to get scratched if treated unproperly, but luckily, professionals can easily remove scratches (if the size of the scratch is not extreme).

Low Maintenance

Although laminate surfaces are more susceptible to damages than other countertops, its maintenance remains low and easy to handle.

Things To Know: Laminate

Learn more about the surface, its characteristics, how to care, etc.

VIEW

Recycled Surface

One of a Kind

Recycled surfaces are all similar to the way quartz is made, but the contents include more environmentally friendly materials making each countertop slightly different in design, pattern, and color. Therefore, each surface is unique in its own way.

Durability (Moderate)

Recycled glass counters are resistant to heat and scratches, making it a durable countertop, but it is not as durable as other options on the market.

Stain Resistant (High)

Because it is manufactured to be a non-porous material, recycled surfaces are known to keep bacteria at bay. Any strong liquids can easily be wiped away and will not absorb into the surface.

Heat Resistant (High)

Each countertop is highly resistant to heat and can sustain extreme temperatures. Recycled surfaces are made up of natural components that are all eligible to withstand strong heat.

Scratch Resistant (High)

Made from strong materials, recycled surface countertops are highly resistant to scratches. Therefore, you never need to worry about damaging your beautifully, unique counter.

Low Maintenance

Because of its non-porous state, recycled surfaces are very easy to clean up and maintain, making it a great (and eco-friendly) kitchen countertop with little to no maintenance.
