The floor plan that maximizes efficiency, new and exciting designs, products and applications that look and work together for that "million dollar" image.
The National Association of Home Builders recently surveyed 4,000 home buyers to determine what they most wanted in a new kitchen. Here are the top five answers and products they chose:
Ample Counter Space... 
Everyone seemed to complain about lack of sufficient counter space. More than 95% rated this feature as Number 1.
Double Sink...
It was a little surprising how strongly people felt about having a double-bowl sink. 89% surveyed mentioned it.
Dining Table...
The desire for a casual, convenient place to eat was a strong desire by 85% of those surveyed.
Pantry...
Nearly 84% wanted a walk-in pantry adjacent to the kitchen. They felt this would save grocery time as well as easier access.
Solid-Surface Counters:
When given a choice of six different countertop materials, most people (61%) chose a solid-surface material such as Corian. This was chosen for looks as well as function.
