Energy Efficiency
Energy Efficiency
Homeowners are hoping to finally get serious about energy efficiency in 2021. That’s because in 2020, they spent a lot more time at home than in years past. Those old appliances, faucets, and lights can translate to much higher energy bills in the kitchen and bath.
For a lower utility bill at the end of the month, homeowners are resolving to:
A Bigger Kitchen Sink
A Bigger Kitchen Sink
Families cooked at home a lot more in 2020, and those with small sinks felt restricted even in large kitchens. You can’t easily prep or clean for a family-sized feast without a sink that has some elbow room.
That’s why families are resolving to get deeper, larger sinks. With a depth of 10” or more, you can soak all those saucepans and casserole dishes with ease. Many are also considering double sinks for more efficient multitasking.
Bathrooms with Spa Vibes
Bathrooms with Spa Vibes
Most of us have been spending a lot more time inside, so many are resolving to turn their bathrooms into little escapes within the home.
By adding a few luxury elements like a large showerhead, towel warmers, or foot baths, you can make your bathroom feel like a home spa.
But it’s not only about accessories. You’ll also need to nail the home-spa feel with light wooden elements like a bamboo sink, natural décor like plants and polished stones, and aromatherapy.
Multi-Functional Appliances

Everything in our homes is getting “smarter” and allowing us to multitask like never before. This isn’t just limited to our phones and TVs. Homeowners are setting goals to get more out of their kitchen and bath accessories too.
In kitchens, workstation sinks are growing in popularity. These sinks come with a fixed interior ledge where you can place a cutting board, strainer, or drying rack. These accessories fit flush over your sink to maximize counter space and versatility.
In bathrooms, homeowners are adding smart showerheads that can integrate with their music player apps and scales that connect to their Fitbits.
