Microcement Is a Solid Trend

This isn’t the dull, lifeless concrete that you see in parking garages and skate parks. Microcement is yet another reimagined material that brings a new, delightful texture into your lavish home remodel.

Imagine smooth concrete without the seams and bumps. Just shapes that appear to be perfectly carved and plucked straight out of a massive cliffside just for your pleasure.

What makes microcement different from regular concrete for custom kitchen remodels in St. Petersburg? It’s customized by color, shape, and use, making it a more fitting choice for adding new textures and finishes to grand home design.

Mix It Up With Mixed Metals

The popular mixed metal trend left an impression in 2025 and is marching steadfastly into 2026. Even if you’ve heard this one before, we have some tips on how to freshen up this look for the new year ahead:

Make choices that add depth to the room, like layering matte black with champagne or brushed nickel with bronze.

Play with opposing textures like satin and antique copper hardware in a luxury bathroom renovation.

Create a structured design with intentional combinations. Start with a black background, use brass as your primary finish, and add a secondary finish like nickel.

Creating a harmonious space with mixed metals can be quite the challenge. As your reputable design team in St. Petersburg, we have a talent for dominating this trend!
