Each new year brings a new round of design and usability trends for kitchen and bathware.

They all, however, are a response to the ever-transitioning priorities and concerns that impact the consumer.

Lifestyle demands dictate much of what you see on the market, and while there may be variances from time to time, one constant remains: Performance. People want a product to work, no matter the strides that are made in its features and benefits. Performance cannot suffer for convenience or financial and environmental impact.
