Q. What are the latest trends in kitchen and bath design?
A. One of the fast-growing trends in kitchen and bath design is “touchless” fixtures. Delta’s Trinsic VoiceIQ™ kitchen faucet features voice-activated technology that pairs with home devices. Other faucets from Delta, Brizo, and Moen react to a simple wave of your hand helping eliminate germs in your kitchen and reduce water usage. Hands-free bathroom collections include motion-activated faucets and touchless soap dispensers, coupled with bidet-style toilets from TOTO and American Standard, to offer the ultimate in hygiene, comfort, and health. Options such as auto-flush, heated seats, self-cleaning features, and touchless open/close functions promote healthier lifestyles. What’s more, these products are designed with sleek, modern styling to fit into any home.

Q. Are there ways to upgrade your home to create a healthier environment?
A. Spending more time at home, many homeowners are looking for ways to make their homes healthier and safer. Smart products available for your kitchen or bathroom include touchless faucets that turn on and off with the wave of a hand; self-cleaning toilets; spalet seats with cleansing features; steam showers that promote wellness and relaxation; water filtration systems — either point-of-use or whole house — that provide safe, clean water. Similarly, air purifiers and ventilation products can help dilute the presence of indoor air pollutants. Humidifiers add humidity and dehumidifiers remove humidity, playing an important role in maintaining proper indoor air quality. Whole house UV lights help sterilize contaminants like mold, germs, and viruses in the air and on surfaces. Improving your home’s livability with cleaner air, safer water, and contactless fixtures and faucets improves the resale value of your home and makes it a safer and healthier place to live. Ultimately, a safe and clean house creates a happy home!

Q. What is the best way to ensure your pool complements the rest of your outdoor design?
A. Make your pool part of your landscape, including connecting seamlessly with your outdoor kitchen. Take the colors of your garden and make them pop as part of the pool’s border tiles, for example. Also, be sure to have the shape fit into your landscape rather than protrude from it. Keep the look natural with stone steps or a fountain. NeJame’s experts can help you find the look that matches your personality.
