What’s ahead for interior design in 2019? This week the Remodelista editors identified some of their favorite trends:

Zero-Waste Kitchen Pantry

Writes Fan: “The next big thing in retail (we hope)? Zero-waste stores equipped with refill stations to minimize single-use plastic containers.” See more at Shopper’s Diary: Kitchen Staples, A Design-Forward Zero-Waste Store.

Instant Kitchen Kit

Quirky Rattan Lamps

Above: Ever since last spring when “Margot discovered Atelier Vime in Provence, with a collection of contemporary and vintage designs made of rattan and other natural materials…we started spotting similar lamps in stylish interiors,” writes Julie.

One-of-a-kind rattan lamps are on Julie’s list of New Directions: 11 Interiors Trends for 2019.

Countertop-Depth Refrigerators

Above: The Aga Elise 36-Inch Counter-Depth French Door Refrigerator (MELFDR23SS) comes in Stainless Steel (shown), White, Midnight Sky, Ivory, Matte Black, and Gloss Black and has a depth of 29 1/2 inches; $3,899 at AJ Madison.

“In a kitchen with standard 24-inch-deep cabinets and 25-inch countertops, a bulky 35-something-inch refrigerator protrudes into the space. But with a counter-depth model—24 to 29 inches (including doors, handles, and all)—your refrigerator is as close to flush as possible if you’re not going for the pricer built-in models,” writes Alexa in this week’s 10 Easy Pieces post.
