The annual Kitchen and Bath Industry Show, aka KBIS, took place in Las Vegas from January 31 to February 2 and over 90,0000 kitchen and bath designers, interior designers, dealers, architects, and other professionals attended the show (co-located with the NKBA International Builders Show). We walked the aisles and scoured the booths looking for the latest and greatest product introductions. Here are some standouts from the trade show floor.
1. Kohler Co.
In celebration of their 150th anniversary, the Wisconsin-based brand will offer limited edition fixtures in fetching pastels such as Peachblow, a soft neutral hue from 1934, and Spring Green, a blue-green first offered in 1927. With the rise of “retro-inspired” décor, your bathroom will be the talk of the town (in a good way).
2. LG
The South Korean manufacturer presented cleaning innovations such as their Styler ShoeCare system. It provides cleaning of various shoe types, including coveted sneakers, utilizing steam to refresh and sanitize up to four pairs of shoes at a time. Pair with the Styler ShoeCase, a stackable modular solution for protecting collectible kicks from humidity and preventing UV discoloration.
3. True Residential
Say goodbye to stainless steel, and say hello to the ever a soothing, color! The refrigeration manufacturer’s latest finish Bluestone also adds wisps of lilac and gray, making it applicable to several environments and styles. Part of the brand’s Build our True custom finishes and hardware program, 72 unique colors make for myriad options.
4. Kallista
What’s old is new again with Kallista’s introduction of their Brushed French Gold finish. Warm-toned with a subtle matte texture, the offering adds a touch of luxury while being the brand’s first use of PVD (physical vapor deposition) technology. Shown on their Central Park West collection.
