Dark Plum

This dramatic purple is the color to watch out for, according to designer Francesco Bilotto. “You’ll see this tone showcased everywhere from kitchen cabinets to foyers,” he says. We’re partial to the dramatic backsplash in this modern space.

Neutral Sandstone

Look for a new take on “greige” — a.k.a. gray and beige. “Sandstone feels brighter and more modern than that neutral from our past and will pair incredibly well with some of the other trending colors of the moment, such as shades of teal, dark blue and millennial pink,” says designer Jeffrey Phillip.
