Kitchens and baths
are the most remodeled
and detailed rooms in the
home. We spend a lot of
time in both and the desire to fit the way we live
drives the hottest trends
and product innovations.
“Take into consideration how long you and
your family plan on living in the home. If it is
for 10 or more years, plan
the space specifically for
your needs and behavior
patterns,” says L. Maxine
Corbett, co-owner and
principal interior designer for Richlin International at Miromar Design
Center. “The kitchen and
bath are what bring in
the most bang for your
buck.”
Corbett sees several
trends emerging in today’s bathrooms, including cooling medicine
cabinets, which refrigerate items such as medications and organic skin
products. Spa showers
allow homeowners to
create a spalike atmosphere in their home with
digital platforms to wrap
water, sound, light and
steam together. And how
about a bathtub with a
built-in stereo system in
which sound is broadcast
through the tub walls?
From the most private
room in your home to the
most public, the kitchen
has become easy to personalize. The Poggenpohl

says Poggenpohl showroom owner Tony Mammoliti.
Walker Zanger manager Drew Rust says new
patterns, textures and
shapes in tile are adding
life to kitchens and baths.
“Special effects tile
and textures add interest
to a kitchen backsplash
or bath,” Rust says. “It is
amazing the new trends
made possible by technology.”
