The panel speakers at the live sharing were industry professionals and experts Mark Alban Collar, General Manager of Cosentino Malaysia, Alex Lee, Co-Founder and Director of Nu Infinity, and Isaac Lim, Co-Founder and Director of Mieux Design.
Fine kitchens and baths have revolutionized throughout the years and how they have impacted the way individuals design their dream homes. Taking into consideration the current situation, the discussion also explored how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected and changed the way people view and spend on kitchens and baths.
Countertops are always exposed to the risks of scratches, discolouration, stains. Hence, product durability is important and consumers should make their countertops a long term investment to enjoy a peace of mind when using their kitchens and bathrooms.
"I think everyone is looking at long-lasting products. Consumers want to make sure that their countertops are well-designed, and maintenance free," Collar said.
Consumers in the modern era have more demands for the design and technology and that may eventually lead to unrealistic expectations. Clients should understand their lifestyle and consider using dual-function appliances to make the most out of their kitchen and baths.
"You can opt for reducing the amount of accessories and choosing more affordable drawers. That would reduce costing and help save space," Isaac stated.
Having a clear communication between consumers and designers has also become more significant nowadays. Clients have to do their part to understand their needs, how they use the space and their current lifestyle for the designers to craft a design that suits them best.
Alex also added, "If it's your home, it needs to have your character, your customization. Don't always go with the norm, let your designer blow your mind."
