Each year, the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) surveys its members to identify the latest design and specification trends in kitchen and bath design. This year, more than 300 NKBA member-designers participated in the 2013 NKBA Design Trends.  The TOP 6 kitchen design trends for 2013 that will be big this year include:

• Faucet finishes in kitchens: satin nickel has been on the top since 2011, Bronze or oil-rubbed bronze finishes growing in demand
• Touch-activated faucets are growing in popularity and second runner up is pot-filler faucets
• Energy-efficient lighting is widely used by member designers as consumer awareness of energy efficiency has risen
