We'll be seeing tons of textural surfaces such as concrete — or amazing riffs on the real thing. Caesarstone's Excava (seen here) has a gorgeous amber patina that features swirls of lookalike rust and concrete. This stunner is part of the brand's <a href="https://www.caesarstone.ca/collections/metropolitan" rel="noopener" target="_blank">new Metropolitan collection</a>, which is made up of seven industrial-chic countertops that you <em>must</em> check out.Kitchens10 Kitchen Trends in 2019 That Will Be Huge (and 3 That Won't)Industrial Countertops

Brass was the favourite in 2018, but the golden child isn't alone anymore. Black, pewter, copper and brass are commingling for a striking, organic look. We're loving the mixed metals in this exquisite kitchen by <a href="http://reganbakerdesign.com/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Regan Baker Design</a>, where the marine stools are silver for even more metal variation.Kitchens10 Kitchen Trends in 2019 That Will Be Huge (and 3 That Won't)Mixed Metals

Special Sinks

Craftsmanship is a key trend going into 2019. So we're not surprised special sinks are making headway, such as this hammered copper one by the UK's <a href="https://www.plainenglishdesign.co.uk/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Plain English</a>. Warm copper has a <em>Little House On The Prairie</em> homespun quality about it that we're loving. Shopping around? Rugged sandstone or colourful granite sinks (especially in brown or black) are equally earthy choices. <a href="https://www.hgtv.ca/kitchens/photos/kitchen-sink-trends-2018-1911602/#" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Here are more kitchen sink trends we love!</a>Kitchens10 Kitchen Trends in 2019 That Will Be Huge (and 3 That Won't)Special Sinks

Black, arguably the "it" colour for 2019, will make an appearance on forged-iron cabinetry. The vibe is both edgy and elegant. It's a snazzy way to showcase your wares, as seen in this gorgeous kitchen by <a href="https://www.laurenliess.com/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Lauren Liess</a> (that also illustrates Trend #2, all about showing off your collectibles).

Backsplashes that look hand-hammered have hit kitchens. The texture and tone of these weathered <a href="https://www.cletile.com/collections/glazed-terracotta-tile-zellige/products/zellige-terracotta-weathered-white-4x4?variant=" rel="noopener" target="_blank">white zellige terracotta tiles</a> by Clé tile are divine. The tile, interestingly enough, is made up of dozens of shades of white including grey, pink, cream, celadon and blue, hence its tonality. They're shown in <a href="https://www.thisoldhudson.com/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">This Old Hudson</a>, a heritage project (and vacation rental) in Hudson, NY, by the designers Zio & Sons.Kitchens10 Kitchen Trends in 2019 That Will Be Huge (and 3 That Won't)Organic/Handmade Tile

Instead, consider warming up the space with plants, unglazed pottery and books. For starters!Kitchens10 Kitchen Trends in 2019 That Will Be Huge (and 3 That Won't)Forget: Glossy Finishes
