Blending Backsplashes

Some think of a backsplash as the ribbon that ties the gift that is a home remodel. The finishing touch of a dedicated wall area requires an expansive level of attention paid to each tile and how it may interact with the surrounding décor.

Is it modern? Is it timeless? In 2024, no one has to decide. Home remodels can contain both, as they blend traditional staying power with the look of the day to cultivate a creatively striking display.

The appeal of natural stone can offer a sense of timelessness that can last for years to come, while a polished porcelain or sparkling metal can provide the perfect symmetry. With a versatile array of materials, blended tile backsplashes contain multitudes for creatives to explore in the home.

Warm Neutrals

The perception that neutral color palettes are only for hospital waiting rooms fails to capture the basic human need of homeowners looking to offer a welcoming sanctuary. To be received is to feel at home, and the neutral paint colors of 2024 provide a haven of warmth in perception and practice.

From a creamy off-white to a soothing brown, and the tones in between, lies a choice that grounds spaces in a familiar, hopeful reality. Like a hug from a loved one, a neutral color scheme provides a calm backdrop for the showcased décor choices elsewhere in the room.

Blues in Focus

Across the skies, ocean, and even walls of the home, blue elevates the scope of what a space could be and challenges the creatives to come up with décor choices that can keep up with its captivating tone.

Whether it is splashed across the walls of an aquatically-themed bathroom or draped like royalty along the walls of a bedroom, its prominence is undeniable. While it can offer a calming aesthetic that wipes away worries and troubles, it also can kick down the door and bring a bold energy into the décor of a room.

With its ever-changing attitude and endless possibilities, there’s no question why it’s trending into a variety of spaces.

Unique Tiling

Drawing the eye to a single aspect of a room’s design requires a level of intentionality that only a creative vision can express. Bringing that focus through the medium of floor tile and creating the patterns right for the overall space is a feat of home remodeling prowess.

Oversized, large-scale tiling made with quality in mind creates the stage upon which life takes place. Whether they adorn the floor or wall, molding a design scheme that creates a stunning focal point within a kitchen, bathroom, living room, or mudroom can elevate an underappreciated element of the area.

Whether inspiration calls for striking tile across a floor or a breathtaking backsplash, creativity requires an infusion of personality, and tiling provides a canvas to those possibilities.

Mixed Cabinet Hardware

Maintaining a level of fearlessness with cabinet choices is a necessary component to envisioning the design of a given space, but that posture needs to remain elevated when selecting the hardware.

In 2024, boldness requires mixing cabinet hardware decisions. Leave behind the concept of choosing a single color or metal finish and embrace a blending of styles. Knobs in matte black and pulls in satin nickel can coexist.

A variety of concoctions can create a template for confidence that future generations will emulate and build upon, redefining what standard cabinetry requires from its hardware.
