FromColor SplashtoMy Lottery Dream Home,Bromstad has seen it all.One of the top design trends Bromstad is on top of is right in your kitchen.
My Lottery Dream Homeis one of the best shows on HGTV thanks to Bromstad’s authenticity and talents for finding a good home and a good story. Bromstad has participated inRock the Blockand other HGTV staples as well, butMy Lottery Dream Homeis what the designer is most known for these days.FromDesign Starto HGTV legend, Bromstad knows design. Perhaps it is time we all listened to him and changed up our own kitchens.
Any HGTV designer fromJoanna GainestoErin Napierwill tell you how important a kitchen is to a home, but not all agree on a look. The kitchen is where people spend a lot of their lives nourishing themselves. According to Bromstad, one current trend is in the kitchen. As Bromstad tells clients onMy Lottery Dream Home,white kitchens are trending right now.After 17 seasons, Bromstad has seen and shown it all.
In a recent Season 17 episode ofMy Lottery Dream Home,Bromstad guided his clients through a “deliciously white kitchen” to point out how much he loved the color and other aspects of the room, such as the open shelving. White kitchens are totally in style. Althoughsome HGTV stars disagreeon white kitchens, Bromstad loves them.
Your Kitchen Should Be White, But Also Warm
Although white kitchens are trendy, there are right and wrong ways to handle the color. As Bromstad proves, the trick to an all-white kitchen is detail and moderation. Instead of cold and sterile, different shades of white and evenwood can make a kitchen cozier.Bromstad uses wooden shelves to add warmth to the room, which is so incredibly simple that anyone can do it. Everything in a kitchen has its place. Using cabinets for items that do not fit the aesthetic can help open up a space. While white kitchens are in vogue according to Bromstad, they need warmth and texture to really stand out.
Countertops Can Fit This Trend
In the same vein, Bromstand reinforces the all-white kitchen trend by talking about the manufactured quartz trend for countertops. Just like how all HGTV designers have differing opinions on white kitchens, there are conflicting opinions about countertops. For Bromstad, the only real option is manufactured quartz. Although quartz can come in multiple shades, white is the most common.Manufactured quartz is more durable and easier to clean, making it the perfect surface for cooking and everyday messes.
During an episode ofMy Lottery Dream Home,Bromstad fawns over the countertop on an island, which he notes is “indestructible,” and how he would love to extend the manufactured quartz to the main countertop. Bromstad believes that manufactured quartz is a durable material that will always be on trend.
Why These HGTV Shows Could be on the Brink of Cancellation
Some fans may not see their favorite HGTV personalities in the near future.
White kitchens and quartz counters are not the only design trends Bromstad is following right now. Contrasting with a clean white kitchen arewallpapers with a lot of personality.If anyone knows color, it’sColor Splashhost David Bromstad.Bromstad believes that wallpaper can make all the difference when adding depth and character to a room. Similar to adding wood to an all-white kitchen, wood creates warmth wherever it goes, whether it be a shutter on the window or a beam on the ceiling. However, what is most important to Bromstad is standing out and being yourself.
Bromstad knows something about standing out and being himself; histattooswill tell you that much. Bromstad also recommends accent furniture to give the home a personality. The inside of a home is not the only place that could get some love and attention. Shutters andlandscapingcan change the entire feel of a house. According to Bromstad onMy Lottery Dream Home,shutters are in regardless off if they are real or not. Whether it be accent furniture or a wallpaper wall, Bromstad knows what design trends are in.
Although white kitchens can be controversial within the HGTV community, color expert David Bromstad’s position is firm. It is clear thatBromstad is 100% behind white kitchens,and you should be too. White kitchens with manufactured quartz countertops are the home design trend everyone needs to embrace immediately.
