by Rachel Lyon & Josh Johnson, Editorial Director & Marketing Assistant for The House Designers

It's time to take inspiration from your fellow homeowners with the products that impressed our customers most this year! They may not be professionals in the business, but they still do plenty of research to ensure they love their homes after putting so much work into them. Take a look at these beautiful, durable, and innovative products that have so much to offer!

An Intuitive Remote Control for Skylights

If you want to make the most of your skylights, VELUX® can help! The new VELUX Touch remote keeps control of all your electric and solar-powered skylights and shades easily at hand. Not only does it allow you to open and close skylights at will, but you can control them individually or in groups and even set timers to close them later. The remote offers simple tap operation and you can mount it in one place or keep it with you—whatever's convenient!

Model: VELUX® Touch | $150.00 MSRP

A Sleek Over-the-Range Microwave

Undercounter and built-in microwaves look great in all sorts of kitchen designs, but what if you need an over-the-range model to fit your space? KitchenAid® has answered the call with a new microwave that sits flush when installed in standard cabinet depth of 12 ¾" and removes smoke and steam with 400 CFM ventilation. It forgoes a turntable to maximize capacity, cleans easily with a handy steam setting, and comes in regular, black, and PrintShield™ stainless as well as a white finish to suit different styles!

Professional Window Installation by the Experts

When not properly installed, even the best product can turn into a headache for homeowners. That's why Pella® introduced ProInstall. They have their own installation crews sent to your build site to help ensure high quality window installations—your builder only needs to schedule a day for the team to come and get to work! This service is convenient, of course, and it guarantees the windows are covered by the warranty, too. Plus, you don't have to wonder if they'll perform to expectations!

Bathroom Fixtures That Simplify Cleaning

The bathroom is prone to messes that aren't always convenient to clean up—everything from toothpaste outside of rinsing range in the sink to tough soap scum buildup in the shower. Delta® has addressed these issues with fixtures up to such challenges! Consider a pull-down faucet to reach every bit of the sink and a hand shower with a ProClean™ spray to effectively target scum. You'll find both available in Lumicoat® finishes that repel water, wipe clean, and resist spots!

Model: Delta® Stryke® Two Handle Widespread Pull Down Bathroom Faucet in Lumicoat Champagne Bronze | $842.25 MSRP
