1. Hottest Interior Colors of the Year: 2015

Each year we release new color trend outlooks (keep an eye out for the 2016 color post!), and each year it takes the number one spot for most of our readers. Color makes a big impact in home design, so it makes a lot of sense that our interior color trends post is so widely read.

Choosing colors selected by the interiors and paint industry is also an easy way to add designer style without a huge commitment.

"The style of cabinet door used in your kitchen is unquestionably the most important design feature. Door style and color set the tone for the space, and provide the backdrop to the unique elements that make one kitchen different from the next.

With all the options for the form and style of the door, color and finish, and extra details, it’s easy to be overwhelmed.

3. The Five Changes that will Transform Your Kitchen

This post took a look at how changing any one of five elements in the kitchen can have a huge impact on the look of the space, and it was another popular post this year.

"Most kitchen remodels rely on changes to any combination of 5 primary categories. Updates, large or small, to any one of these areas offer the potential to refresh the kitchen, making it good-to-go for the next ten years. Whether you're making changes to these items as part of a larger kitchen renovation in which you are also changing the floor plan, or you're looking to make the space a bit more up-to-date without going into full-blown construction, these changes can go a long way."
