A client walked much of the floor with me, and here are some of the items he liked a lot:
-stainless steel sink in farmhouse style- an update of the classic
-different colored cabinetry in the same kitchen- one designer room had 7! and, the furniture style cabinets are still prominent
-”one room borrowing from the next”- vignettes where the colors or materials trended into the adjacent room, creating flow
-stacked dishwashers, with one drawer on top of the other
-Elkay’s matte finish on some of their stainless products
-matte finish on some of the synthetic surfaces
-stainless steel tambour style door in wall, like appliance garage but full height and very cool looking
-Kohler’s Belay handrail, K1846-SHP, a less institutional approach to incorporating a handrail in the shower, where the lower part of the shower is built out 4″; the handrail also serves as a shelf, of sorts, for shampoo, etc. It’s more of a stealth handrail, so you prepare for the future but don’t look like it.
