Thinking about updating your home? These 5 home design ideas are not only super hot in 2017, but also have a timeless quality that will hold up well in years to come.

1. Matte Appliances

Stainless steel has been the go-to for luxury designers for the past 15 years, but its reign may soon be over.

The new look for the kitchens is sophisticated matte finishes. As an added bonus, these surfaces are also easier to maintain than ever-smudging stainless steel.

2. Marble

As you may have noticed, marble is becoming a huge trend. Whether it’s kitchen or bathroom countertops, flooring, or faux-marble wall paper, marble surfaces add a touch of elegance to your home.

3. Cerused Wood

A “cerused” finish refers to the technique that brings out the unique grain of wood. This trend looks great on cabinets as well as larger pieces like tables, chairs, and storage furniture.

4. Outdoor-Feeling Indoor Showers

An outdoor shower is highly desirable but not always practical. To achieve the feel of an outdoor shower inside, designers have been getting creative with site placement, lighting, and foliage.

5. Garden Balconies

If your balcony is currently sitting unused or with a few lone lounge chairs, you’re missing out on a huge opportunity. A sleek furniture set, modern planters, and string lights or a fire pit can transform your balcony into a magical sanctuary.
