1.) More color in kitchens
"Although white will always be a classic color for kitchen design, homeowners are shying away from bland hues and injecting rich colors, such as warm wood tones (example: mahogany) and neutrals (example: grays and blues), into the space to give it a warm, fresh and unique feel."

2.) Rich colors throughout the home
"Warm grays paired with "camel, rust, tobacco [and] brown-blacks," as well as earthy reds and yellows, are expected to edge out cooler neutrals in the coming year."

3.) Florals
"The tropical palm print may have flooded your Instagram feeds this year, but people aren't yet tired of eye-catching, oversized graphic florals. Houzz expects even more interpretations of over-scaled floral patterns, in high-contrast colors, in (2018)."

4.) Trough or bucket sinks
"Another sign the modern Farmhouse trend isn't dying in 2018: Houzz predicts that deep, wide and durable trough and bucket sinks will continue to be popular in the new year. Used commonly in busy laundry rooms and kids' bathrooms, these long, narrow and low-maintenance sinks can help create a rustic aesthetic and maximize minimal space."

6.) Casual and calm modern bedrooms
"Homeowners are running with the "less is more" notion in the master bedroom and opting for more modern and minimalist furnishings. Instead of bold and busy colors, soothing, neutral color palettes are expected to reign supreme, along with soft fabrics and simple furniture pieces."

10.) Wallpaper-like backsplash
"Looking to refresh your kitchen or bathroom? Stay away from subway or hexagon tiles and instead consider contemporary tiles that look like wood, concrete, resin, fabric or even wallpaper."
