While black-and-white contrast and raw materials like steel and wood will continue to be popular, they’ll be softened by color and asymmetry. These modern elements will have a fresh approachability when surrounded by sun-soaked fabrics. ![Warm modernism](https://wp.zillowstatic.com/1/GettyImages-825886484-13e488.jpg) ### Technology Talk-to-me tech products help you get things done with your voice, and homeowners are using them to modernize their daily routine. In 2019 you’ll see smart faucets, fans, window coverings and appliances paired with popular platforms — Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Apple HomePod — for a smarter home. Additionally, products that offer easy installation and seamless integration into existing layouts make projects remodel-friendly. Innovative sinks, faucets, medicine cabinets, appliances and lighting provide a quick transformation to refresh the style and functionality of your home. ![Technology/ Smart Home](https://news.advantagehomeplus.com/hs-fs/hubfs/How-To-Design-A-Smart-Home-Of-goodly-Imagine-A-Network-That-Invisibly-Controls-Every-Amazing.jpg?width=891&name=How-To-Design-A-Smart-Home-Of-goodly-Imagine-A-Network-That-Invisibly-Controls-Every-Amazing.jpg) Though talk-to-me tech is trending, some will be looking for ways to escape the chatter. Meditative and sound-barrier features will appear in more homes this year — think transformative experiences using acoustic panels and colored lights. ![zen](https://news.advantagehomeplus.com/hs-fs/hubfs/maxresdefault.png?width=1280&name=maxresdefault.png)   **Industrial** Matte black and bronze continue to dominate and complement a more industrial vibe. But when selecting wall colors, appliances, faucet finishes and fabrics, consider the possibilities of moody blues and the gray color spectrum. From warm light grays to the coolness of matte black, these tones add a subtle layer of intrigue and distinction. Plus, black and charcoal gray front doors could earn up to $6,271 more when selling your home! ![Industrial](https://news.advantagehomeplus.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Stunning-kitchen-design-seems-both-classic-and-contemporary-at-the-same-time.jpg?width=900&name=Stunning-kitchen-design-seems-both-classic-and-contemporary-at-the-same-time.jpg)   Earthy & Inviting Handmade details can immediately soften an interior. This year you’ll see rhythmic patterns and imperfect lines incorporated through hand-painting, stitching and detailing, expanding the possibilities for endless mixing and matching in the home. Additionally, fabrics and accents with strands of crystal, wooden and pearlescent beads present a sophisticated flair for artful detail. Home decor favorites will still include earthy elements and nubby textures. Think neutral naturals by simply adding a wooden side table and sculpture, live and fake plants for color, and natural fibers through rugs and fabrics. ![Earthly](https://news.advantagehomeplus.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Modern-Bohemian-Interior-Design.jpg?width=1300&name=Modern-Bohemian-Interior-Design.jpg)   ## **What’s out** ### Rustic Is America finally over the “Fixer Upper” movement? Not quite, but the rustic, farmhouse-chic elements are getting refined. The shiplap-craze seems to be leaning toward a modern twist, simplifying layers of the look. Cutesy barn doors will take a backseat to more modern versions featuring glass and metal instead of reclaimed barn wood. The signature statement range hood covered in rustic materials will swing to simplified finishes. Lastly, the harsh light of the Edison bulb will move to a more complementary glow, reflecting concealed bulbs versus exposed ones. ![rustic](https://news.advantagehomeplus.com/hs-fs/hubfs/1420504202630.jpeg?width=1280&name=1420504202630.jpeg)   ### **Bottom Line** Whether trends inspire you or not, it’s important to be aware of them, because they help shape our own personal interior style. Our homes are where we express ourselves and tell our unique style story, so we encourage you to do just that in the new year.  **You are one of the fortunate people who have a Homeownership Program provided by your employer.
