MR Direct Sinks and Faucets

Sustainability has been a big deal in the kitchen and bath industry for some time, but saving the environment has always gone hand-in-hand with saving money on electricity and water bills.

In 2020, we can expect greener kitchens aimed at millennial adults who are interested in more than just saving cash. More kitchens will be designed for zero-waste lifestyles. This might include specialized storage spaces for package-free food and bulk purchases, as well as designs featuring upcycled tile, brick, stone, or wood. You may also see kitchen space dedicated to indoor gardening. This space can be used to cultivate fresh herbs or regrow greens from food waste.

Most people think a home remodel takes weeks, but that’s all going to change in 2020. With the rise of same-day shipping services, customers want their purchases faster than ever.

Innovative kitchen and bath companies have revamped their logistical capabilities and are able to deliver products across long distances in as little as 2 days.

Even if you order a large farmhouse sink or a hand-made stone vessel, you’ll be able to complete your kitchen or bathroom remodel in just a few weeks.

Soon, Alexa and Google may know what needs to go on your shopping list before you say a word. The rise of smart kitchens and bathrooms will extend voice activation to your appliances, bringing more ease to your everyday life.

Smart capabilities will make life more convenient and make your home safer. Imagine an oven that can’t burn your food or a stove that will turn itself off when you leave the house. These are just a few of the many exciting smart trends that are growing popular in the industry.

The smarter your devices become, the more power they need. Soon, you’ll be able to install cabinets with power outlets and USB ports built right in. This will make storage easier for devices like electric toothbrushes and beard trimmers, but it will also open the door for more cordless innovations like hair dryers, food processors, pasta makers, and more.

Trends are shifting away from bathtubs and towards showers in 2020. Over 80% of recent master bathroom renovations have included a shower upgrade or an increase in shower space, and about 1 in 4 have eliminated a tub.

Dual sinks in master bathrooms are also getting some love, with 54% of homeowners preferring separate sink spaces. This may be because it’s easier than ever to install vessel sinks in your bathroom. And, as they save a lot of space, you can often fit two vessels in the place of one undermount sink.
