Mixing MetalsThere is no longer just chrome, brass, satin nickel, and polished nickel. All the brands offer at least 10 different options. The latest was Brizo's Brilliance Luxe Gold and Lots of Copper. I think designers are definitely mixing metals in the kitchen.

Also customization was big. Brizio's mix and match options of luxe gold and black crystal. Changing finishes and handle shapes. Perfect for any style.

Hard Surfaces
Hard Surfaces are not just for floors and as we discovered at the New American Home sponsored by Caesarstone, the possibilities are endless. Each year Caesarstone partners with a builder to create a new home in Vegas, well, outside Vegas in Henderson. Here they show off their latest and greatest in product.
I loved this shower floating in the middle of the room.

Adding metals strips between materials! This was one of my trends from my 2018 list. Long live the schulter strip!

Thin material is hitting the market strong with porcelain brands like Florim and SapienstoneAdding slabs to walls, seaming for thickness, durability these are all a designer's dream. I see big things for these porcelain companies.
Again Terrazzo in porcelain....

Indirect Light
Light has always been an important feature in the kitchen and bath area but now we are seeing indirect and ambient features.
Loved these fixtures from Lamp Plus and yes they do have a trade program!

Hidden Appliance
This year was all about hiding the appliances and making them look like cabinetry or a flush wall. Similar to my 2018 trend of the flush wall but almost everyone was showing this look. Wellborn Cabinets showed a wide range of styles and colors ranging from traditional styles to super flush modern. Lots of hidden cabinetry and motorized options.
