Take a look at some of the latest trends.

Also, matte black is increasingly appearing against brass for an even trendier look, which you can get in one fixture. Kohler is now offering a faucet that is half brass and half matted black—two finishes in one.

Windows are coming to the forefront. A black window trim can add an industrial look to a space.
