When we design a home or room remodel, we're less about trends and more about fitting the homeowner's lifestyle and preferences.
That said, it's still always fun to see what design gurus predict as the weather warms up and New England's remodeling season can start in earnest.

Decor Mag predicts:
- More quartz and concrete, less granite
- Darker color schemes ("moodier hued design ideas add an elegant sense of drama")
- Spanish and Moroccan tiles
- Smart kitchens (from lighting to 'display fridges')
