This year’s Kitchen and Bath Trends Showcased by Kohler
Every February, the design industry gathers at the Las Vegas Convention Center for the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS), where the latest products, innovations, and trends are on display. Organized by the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) and produced by Emerald Expositions, the event welcomes interior and product designers, architects, industry brands, builders, contractors, and editors.
This year, there is a noticeable trend of brands collaborating with interior designers and traditionally interiors-focused companies. Notable partnerships include textiles giants Cowtan & Tout and Donghia. One striking collaboration is Donghia’s collection with Artistic Tile, showcasing how classic textile designs can be translated into tile surfaces.
The Donghia x Artistic Tile presentation features an indoor arabesque pool concept using Casino Royale in Belgian Bluestone, available in three color variations and incorporating natural stone and tesserae mosaic.
As a first-time attendee, it is exciting to witness the thriving kitchen, design, and renovation industry and observe the latest trends firsthand.
Key Trends:
1. Hot Stone: Reddish Rosso Levanto marble is emerging as a prominent trend across various product categories this season, adding a bold and warm statement to designs.
2. Kallista: The brand introduced new bath products including a Rosso Lovanto stone bathtub and the Aileron tub filler with architecturally inspired faucet handles.
