Yes, even in today's economy homeowners and buyers are willing to spend on upgrades in the kitchen and bath to create the look they see in magazines and on TV. Somewhat surprisingly, white is still the favored color in the kitchen for many. For accents, designers are turning to coppery metallics and glass tiles to add a splash of color.
Lighting, natural and manmade, are super important in both kitchen and bath. For the bath, lighting should come from the side as well as overhead to avoid creating shadows. Undercounter lighting in the kitchen adds to both safety and ambience.
As for "green", sustainable woods such as bamboo and eucalyptus and recycled copper are being used in kitchens. Water-saving features are ways for both kitchens and baths to be greener.
People still want to invest in their homes and more and more want custom features rather than anything standard or commonplace.
