"Warmer wood tones like walnut and maple are really on trend for floors and cabinetry. They work well with both neutral and colorful palettes, making them a versatile option," Johna R. Jamison said.

"Trends can provide a great source of inspiration, particularly for those new to design, though I always caution clients to avoid upending an entire home or aesthetic in favor of the most in vogue color or style," Kellie Sirna said.

"Consider focusing on a high functioning area of the home, such as the laundry or mud room, and elevate your space to create efficiency and functionality in the new year," Kristin Kong said.
