Summer Design Trends in 2015

Bader Obeid • April 20, 2015

The summer season welcomes sunlight, outdoor activities, and a playfulness that often influences home design trends. When looking to update your space in the coming months, consider these summer trends from CMA Flooring in Carrollton that are both uplifting and bright.

1. Sky Blue Shades

This color emulates the beautiful weather outdoors in the summer and creates a calming effect. Consider painting an accent wall (ideally one with a window or doorway), shelves, doorframes, or a coffee table sky blue. You can also play with curtains, pillows, vases, trays, or table settings if paint is too much commitment.

2. Fig Leaf Trees

Add a fig leaf tree to your living room to add a touch of life to the space and give an airy feel. Put the plant in an exotic hand-woven basket to add an interesting design element.

3. Watercolor Florals

Dessert plates, wall art, pillows, murals, bedspreads, and place settings are just a few ways to incorporate this summer trend in your home. To avoid an overly feminine look (unless, of course, that’s what you’re after), trying balancing it with a more masculine feature. For instance, use an oversized area rug with a watercolor floral design in a room with a blue statement wall.

4. Marble Patterns

Marble patterns are chic and sophisticated, and create a stunning look in whichever room you choose. Consider using a marble canister to hold wooden spoons in the kitchen, make marble the surface of your dining table (if you can afford it), or pick up marble bathroom accessories.

5. Copper

Copper is the new gold. It’s modern, sleek, and adds a retro touch to all rooms of the home. It’s most commonly seen on light fixtures or on bathroom knobs as a beautiful upgrade.

What Is a Cashmere Kitchen?

By Baha CMA • September 4, 2025

As a design consultant, I spend a lot of time guiding clients through the finishing touches that make their remodels feel both beautiful and lasting. More often than not, I recommend a look that’s soft, timeless, and effortlessly elegant. That look now has a name: the cashmere kitchen — and it’s still going strong. So, what is a cashmere kitchen ? Think of it like your favorite cashmere sweater: soft, classic, comfortable, and a little bit luxurious — without being flashy. Some designers even call it a soft neutral kitchen or a timeless kitchen. The idea is the same: subtle luxury that feels as good as it looks. Key Elements of a Cashmere Kitchen Cabinets : Warm neutrals such as soft greige (J&K Pebble) paired with a warm wood accent like J&K Butterscotch. Countertops : White quartz with gentle gold and brown veining for a polished yet understated look. Hardware : Champagne bronze for subtle warmth; matte black for contrast on darker cabinets. Floors : Light, natural hardwood like Regal Alton to keep the space airy. Backsplash : Glossy, handmade-look tile (SOHO Surfaces) that adds texture and visual interest. Overall feel : Everything flows together. No harsh contrasts — just understated details that shine. This is what makes the cashmere kitchen such a perfect example of a comfort luxe kitchen : elegant, but inviting. Why Homeowners Love a Cashmere Kitchen A cashmere kitchen design checks a lot of boxes for today’s homeowners: Timeless appeal – Won’t feel dated in a few years. Easy to personalize – Add your own touch with lighting, décor, or barstools. Resale - friendly – Neutral palettes appeal to a wide audience. Relaxing atmosphere – The mood is calm, cozy, and inviting. It’s the perfect balance of modern and classic — Shaker cabinet doors provide tradition, quartz countertops keep it current, and metallic hardware adds polish. Many homeowners see it as a classic warm neutral kitchen because it feels both stylish and practical. Cashmere Kitchen vs. Transitional Kitchen
