SUMMARY:Solving the Compact Kitchen Design Challenge
DESCRIPTION:According to the National Association of Home Builders\, the average size of the American home has decreased by nearly 300 square feet since 2015. Rising housing costs\, urban living\, multigenerational households\, and aging-in-place trends are fueling demand for smaller homes\, yet consumers continue to expect kitchens that deliver exceptional performance\, versatility\, and style.\nIn this session\, Grace Dolan\, President of Sharp Home Electronics Company of America\, will explore how changing housing trends are reshaping consumer expectations and influencing kitchen design. Drawing on consumer insights and market trends\, she will examine what today's homeowners prioritize in compact kitchens — from multifunctionality and space optimization to premium aesthetics and seamless integration. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how evolving lifestyles are driving demand for products designed specifically for smaller spaces and learn practical strategies for creating kitchens that maximize both form and function.
