Why the Dream Kitchen for the Real World?  This platform is based on a recent consumer research study Merillat conducted that revealed how important kitchen storage is to consumers.  

• 84% of consumers consider storage features to be the most important factor in their cabinetry decision process.  
• 54% of consumers post remodeling wish they had put in more functional storage.

"While consumers know they want more functionality and storage, they often don't know what's available to them," said Susan Cross, Brand & Communications Manager for Merillat. "Based on this idea, Merillat is redefining the term 'Dream Kitchen' because kitchens should be beautiful, functional and work in your everyday life... The Dream Kitchen for the Real World."

To bring the initiative to life in an entertaining way, Merillat partnered with renowned chef Curtis Stone. "Who better to illustrate the importance of a well-designed kitchen than a professional chef?" continued Cross.
