4 WACO TRIBUNE-HERALD FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 2014 Trends Nothing is more exciting than updating your home and the new year is the perfect time to do so. The professionals attending the 2014 Home Products Show shared a little of what’s popular right now, including painted cabinets, gray as the new neutral and wood flooring with an oil-finished look. “Everybody wants gray,” said Lacie 2014HomeProductsShow Alford of Gibson Interiors (booths 407, 409). Large format porcelain tiles in stone or stained concrete, or wide plank wood flooring with an oilfinished look are other new changes, added Neil Gibson. Wayne Wigley of Wigley’s Paint (booth 442) also is seeing many requests for grays. “They’ve replaced brown as the new neutral,” he said. Green-friendly, “no smell” VLC paint is also trendy, as is charcoal as the “new chocolate” for 2014, he added. Painting, instead of replacing, wood cabinets is a big trend, said Roland Rivas of Kelly-Moore Paint (booth 314). “People are saving a lot of money by painting cabinets instead of replacing them,” he said. Jeremy Pendleton of the Design Super Store (booths 127, 226) agreed that painting cabinets is hot right, adding that vinyl plank has taken off, too. “It’s easy to replace and water doesn’t hurt it,” he said. There’s also a shift from the distressed look to a more contemporary look with cleaner lines, he added. You won’t want to miss a visit to Southern Cabinets (booth 330) and talk to Rodney Holt for the latest style in cabinetry. For appliances, Ashley Blossman of Ferguson Bath, Kitchen & Lighting (booths 430, 428, 426, 331, 329, 327) said bold colors are in, such as the Bertazzoni Dedicated & Committed to our Customers Our Strength is in our Employees Over 300 years of Combined Experience Serving Our Community since 1984 35 ocations for your Convenienc 2L e www.ftcwaco.com 301 Owen Lane, Suite C 4325 W.
