The Trend: Vibrant Front Doors

The color of your door can change the entire look of your house, so it's no surprise people are careful to pick the right one. Not sure which hue is right for you? Take our quiz to find out.

The Trend: All-White Interiors

According to designer Brian Patrick Flynn, "Spaces packed with an abundance of natural light are the best choices for using white effectively. Once the light hits the windows and is then diffused by lined window coverings, it floods the room with a visual softness that immediately creates a cozy atmosphere." Find tips for pulling off an all-white room here.

The Trend: All-White Interiors (Almost)

If you love the clean, crisp look of white but want something a bit more homey, consider a barely-there gray as a stylish alternative that looks ultra chic in any design style.

The Trend: Watercolor

The Trend: Colorful Ceilings

Nothing adds drama to a neutral space quite like a deep blue ceiling. Find expert tips for painting your ceiling here.

The Trend: Gold Accents

Gold is everywhere. From small gold details to bolder pieces like the coffee table and metallic tree trunk stool in this space, it's easy to add a touch of glamour to just about anything with a coat or two of this trendy metallic finish. Find out what will and will not gild here.

The Trend: Two-Tone Cabinets

"Two-toned kitchens are showing up more and more and are a great choice for a space where you want to create a bit more depth with your look," explains interior designer Erica Reitman. "You can choose to go with two complementary colors, or go a bit bolder and choose two contrasting colors."

The Trend: Two-Tone Cabinets

If you only have lower cabinets in your kitchen, you can still take advantage of this trend by opting for a colorful island. Here, white cabinets are enlivened with an emerald green island and punchy wallpaper. Find more kitchen cabinet color trends here.

The Trend: Stenciling

Looking to add instant drama to a focal wall? Consider stenciling one wall for major impact. Bonus: It's easier than you think. Find out how to create a focal wall like this one here.

The Trend: Stenciling

Stenciling is also a great option if you want to add interest to the ceiling. It's colorful, playful and easy to paint over when the time comes. Find step-by-step instructions for stenciling your ceiling here.

The Trend: Faux Rugs

Outdoor rugs are great, but they get dirty, fray and need to be replaced. That's where painted faux rugs come into play. The design possibilities are endless, and when it starts to look dingy, you can simply add a fresh coat! Learn how to do it yourself here.

From: Brian Patrick Flynn

The Trend: Faux Marbling

Faux finishes often get a bad wrap, but they can be done tastefully. Take this incredible faux marble table for example. It's hard to believe it's actually made of wood. Check out the entire makeover here.

The Trend: Painted Upholstery

Who knew you could actually paint upholstery? And the best part is that it doesn't even require special, upholstery-only paint. Check out this chair makeover to see just how simple it really is.
