Dark and Light:

Don’t be afraid of dark colors!  While most people stay way from dark colors, because they are afraid that it will make their space appear smaller; it actually can create drama!  Using a light backsplash, countertops or accessories to balance the light and dark.

Also, don’t forget about classic black and white.  As styles evolve over the years, black and white never loses its popularity.  It is all about contrast and it never hurts to add a splash color!

This American Olean Avenue One Porcelain Tile is a great example of using dark color to create drama, and then using light accessories to really make a statement! This doesn’t have to be limited to your kitchen, try it in the dining area or living area!

This is a gorgeous Mosaic Glass Wall by Bisazza Rayures. It looks awesome with the black trim and red splash color.

Contemporary Combinations:

One of the new trends in 2013 is the new interpretation of country style, that includes a delicate balance between modern and natural.  Rustic hardwood can be a beautiful counterpoint to sleek and shiny appliances.  The style looks clean and modern, but still offers warm and cozy touches.  Some of the popular combinations being used right now are white, off white, and natural wood stains paired with neutrals like grey and black, which add sophistication.
