“
This is the year of the statement
door. Your front door gives visitors
their first impression of your home, so it’s
important to maintain a style consistent
with the inside of your house. The most
recent trend in front doors combines strong
traditional craftsmanship with boldcoloured contemporary design flair. With
an emphasis on size, the most popular
doors right now are tall and wide with
an expanded glass selection that includes
modern leaded and textured glass inserts
with mouldings.”

I believe
technology
will play a big part in
2016 design trends.
The integration of
TVs placed in your
bathroom mirror or
speakers in the shower
will be hot sellers.”

As the year comes to an end, we anxiously
await to see what’s in store in design for 2016.
We’ve asked Canadian designers to help us
predict what will be trendy in the new year.
“
I believe the trend
for kitchen tiles
will take inspiration from the
past and a variety of cultural
motifs. There will also be a
more ‘craftsman’ or ‘handmade’
quality to our tile options. 3D
effects will create shadows and
textures in geometric shapes,

manufacturing techniques will
bring back detailed and intricate patterns normally
reserved for those who could afford an artisan from
Italy to create these artistic creations. Materials such
as antique glass, concrete, metal and leather will be
appearing in 2016.”
