A new trend this year is adding black to the home with fixtures, appliances, and even cabinets and furniture. 

Black is a classic color and accenting the interior with it is a trend appealing to 2018. Black fixtures, especially matte, are replacing brass and rubbed bronze. It goes with everything and adds finish to a space.
