latest trends in bath fixtures are matte black faucets and shower doors,” she says, adding that granite, cast iron, and fireclay sinks are what’s trendy now for kitchens. When it comes to lighting, Anderson says, “People want soft gold and retro light fixtures, plus smooth-lined, minimal fixtures.” LED lighting is another popular choice. “Today, lives are busier,” says Perry, who’s worked at Metro for fifteen years. “We need calm and peaceful colours. Our home is our sanctuary.” Which is why Perry, and his associate, Beauti-Tone specialist Kelly MacEachern, ensure that they ask the right questions and take their time with each customer when it comes to selecting the right colour choice for their renovation project.
