Description
The National Kitchen & Bath Association has just released its annual Design Trends study. The report takes a deep dive into all aspects of both kitchen and primary bathroom design, with the goal of highlighting styles, features, materials and innovations expected to be most popular over the next few years.

More than half the participants were designers and the remainder were architects, remodelers, showroom professionals and manufacturers.
