A photo is often the starting point for many home remodeling projects. And to give you an idea of what’s inspiring homeowners lately, here are a few highlights from the most popular Houzz photos of summer 2022.
1. Kitchens
Otis Interiors took inspiration from its clients’ Houzz photos to create this light and airy look in the most-saved kitchen of summer 2022. White perimeter cabinets (White Cloud by Benjamin Moore) and an inviting navy blue island and range hood (Hale Navy by Benjamin Moore) establish a contrasting palette touched off with warm wood flooring and a wood detail on the hood.
Oversize lantern-style pendant lights fill the void above the island without obscuring sightlines in the room. And an X detail on the hood and shiplap siding around the island add charming modern farmhouse details.

2. Bathrooms
Speaking of contrast, the most-saved bathroom of summer 2022 is a compelling example of dramatic contrast. Haven Design & Construction set a pitch-black custom vanity (Onyx by Benjamin Moore) and other black details, including a black door, against crisp white tiled walls and a white ceiling.
Wood-look tile flooring and brass hardware add warmth, while a geometric tile feature wall in the shower emphasizes the depth of the narrow room rather than the width.

3. Living Rooms
In the most-saved living room photo of summer 2022, Andrea Schumacher Interiors layered color, texture and pattern. A tiled double-sided fireplace creates a striking focal point. A soft blue patterned rug anchors the room and corrals an eclectic mix of animal-print fabric and textured coffee tables.
To the left of the fireplace, blue cabinets, a rich wood header and carved posts add to the layered look.

4. Outdoor Lounges
This Chicago lounge by Amy Kartheiser Design is one of the most-saved photos of summer 2022, and it packs a lot of features into a relatively compact space. A deep cushioned sectional wraps a pergola that provides both shade and privacy. A water feature sits nearby, and a fire feature in the center offers a ledge to set drinks on. Adding to the vibe are two outdoor heaters and a stylish light fixture.

What tile was used
I love that first kitchen. The color scheme was very clean and appealing.
I Love the color blue on the kitchen and exhaust stove plus the lamp above the island they add pop of color into the otherwise white and muted template
