Your kitchen is the center of your home, where friends and family gather to share a meal and memories are created. If you decide to remodel this important room in your house, consider choosing high-end design features to redesign your kitchen into a living space you will love. The kitchen countertop experts at Stone World at Red Bank, located in Monmouth County, New Jersey, discuss the must-have items in your dream kitchen.

Consider these four design features to include in your updated kitchen:

• Quartz Countertops: These countertops are manufactured to be strong and nonporous, and they come in a variety of color combinations to match your decor. Although they are more expensive than stone or synthetic countertops, quartz has a natural look that makes it stand out in any designer kitchen.
• Touch-Activated Faucets: Faucets with a built-in sensor that run water with a tap from your elbow are a must-have in any dream kitchen. Even when your hands are messy, you'll love being able to turn on the faucet without making the handles dirty.
• Deep Sink: Most standard kitchen sinks are about eight inches deep, but sinks that are at least 10 inches deep are much more practical. Two extra inches can make a big difference, accommodating large pots and concealing dirty dishes you’ll clean later.
• Steam-Convection Oven: Convection ovens circulate hot air to cook food more evenly. Newer steam-convection ovens keep food moist and retain more vitamins than food that is baked in traditional ovens, making them essential to your dream kitchen.
