Calacatta Marble

Carrara's showier sibling, calacatta marble has stronger, more pronounced veining that lends a bold, graphic appeal. "In both warm and cool tones, I expect it to outshine carrara this year," says Karen B. Wolf. "It’s the perfect transition material for the home owner that can’t quite digest that brown is actually a stunning color theme!"

Sleek Simplicity

The best way to let those elements stand out? Keep everything else simple, says Pickart. "For 2020, simplicity will be key," she says. "Flat-paneled millwork with minimal detailing and fuss is the best way to let unique cabinetry materials really shine."

Bold Backsplashes

Hill is also championing statement-making backsplashes in the kitchen. "Large-scale backsplashes will continue to be popular, and the designs will get more elaborate and serve as art and focal points," he predicts. "I see them being mixed with unique statement lighting and textures."
