Art always works .As for what's in for 2015 it only matters if you love what ever it is and are now willing to change it out for what is in vogue next year . Colors for pillows are what I usually use to bring a space up to what,s in but my basic style and design stay the same for a long time.

yes , a pure white kitchen will look great , the tiles will be the highlight of the kitchen.The mixed colours of the tiles , pure white cabinets and the Black granite will look Superb!!

If you will like to go little different than Indian / traditional one, mint green colour is in trend and goes well with brick colour walls. Looks good if you have white appliances, crockery and some other elements that are visible with it. (Sourced from google images) https://goo.gl/images/Wyu1kR
