HERE IS A CHECKLIST OF SOME OF OUR
CONTRIBUTORS' MUST-HAVES WHEN BUILDING A
NEW HOME.
A high quality, steam shower is my must-have for a
new home! It is a great place to relax and relieve stress
and offers a number of other health benefits as well!
You'll enjoy improved blood circulation and healthier
skin. Plus, it's great for soothing sore muscles after a
workout or helping relieve nasal and sinus issues! - Jamie

Smart toilets are definitely a must-have for a new home.
Though there are many types, most have a few basic features
in common including sensor flushing, overflow protection,
water use reduction, heated seats, self-deodorizer, night-
lights, slow close lids, and Bluetooth capabilities. - Kendall Ansell,

When designing a kitchen for a new home, I love to include
panel ready appliances! Many appliance brands now offer
refrigerators and dishwashers in a panel ready format
that allows you to cover the front in panels to match your
cabinetry. This creates a seamless look in the kitchen and
works with any design style. - Negar Reihani, Designer

My new build must-have is Quartz countertops. What I like
about this product is the durability, minimal maintenance,
and no seal/wax surface. Also, they have a variety of colors to
choose from to suit any design style. - Jacklynn Little, Designer
