Trends & Influences: Ultrafunctional

This is living, elevated. If versatility is the name of the game, implementing multifunctional products like these will give you the square footage you need to win. Meaning, your kitchen becomes more than a room to cook, your mudroom isn’t just a catch-all for dirty clothes and your den becomes a work/study space. Every area has room for a little more functionality – you just have to decide what to do with it!

Consider your entryway, for example. What if that space was transformed into a complete, ultrafunctional experience? Add a beverage cooler to hold drinks and snacks, along with a deep workstation sink that can handle everything from washing hands to soaking clothes. Pair this with a touchless faucet and a modern ceiling fan to make this room a destination of its own.

Bathrooms are an ideal place to maximize for functionality and beauty. A large floor-mounted vanity gives you design flexibility and extra storage space, for example. Take advantage of that extra square footage by choosing a stackable washer dryer set with a small footprint – but full capacity. Now you have a room that works equally well as bathroom, linen closet and laundry room, all in one.

Your kitchen is already functional, but is it ultrafunctional? Consider well-appointed choices that look stylish and make your life easier. Wall-mounted pot fillers, built-in gourmet coffee machines, and two-tier corner kitchen cabinet organizers all do double duty. They look great and give you extra time, space, and peace of mind. Make hydration easier than ever with an in-home bottle filling station! Get filtered water right in your favorite glasses and bottles with hands-free operation. The recessed design fits into your kitchen effortlessly.

Your living room offers opportunities for even more room to live! Make it work as a home theater, meditation space or play area with adjustable lighting, comfortable seating and outlets that sit flush to the wall. Gone are the days of single-purpose rooms. This is meeting your family where they are—multi-functional rooms are a versatile trend that helps maximize the potential of every space in your home.

This trend is all about seeing potential and getting creative. Your kitchen can be a place to prepare, create, and entertain. Your mudroom becomes an organization destination and a laundry loft. Your den is now a home bar and a workspace. Your home office? Is a luxe guest room as well. Ultrafunctional is all about utility, or making the most of your home and exploring every avenue of a fixture’s function—to save space, to do more, or to simply streamline your everyday routines.
