Everything We Obsessed Over At KBIS 2026

There is so much to love about the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS), but the 2026 edition was particularly special. The halls were buzzing with energy, the booths were packed with color, ingenious hardware, fun collabs, and of course, designs catering to high-tech fluid living. We’ve combed through the offerings to bring you some of our favorite finds.

CAMBRIA
This is no longer your grandmother’s quartz: Cambria unveiled its “Style Without Limits” experience at this year’s show, proving the material’s capabilities extend far beyond the countertop. Using exclusively American-made quartz, the brand showcased everything from full-scale accent walls to fully clad, grout-free spa sanctuaries made possible by an innovative new 1cm-thin quartz. New debuts include St. Isley (left), which features bold, blue-gray veining with a sense of movement, and Traymore Bay (right), which beautifully balances warm and cool tones alongside an organic depth.

FABUWOOD
Fabuwood’s debuts this year were, well, FAB. While new intros included a variety of chic new door styles and vanity tops for its line of semi-custom kitchen and bath cabinetry, the brand’s InFocus Drawer — a collaboration with FreePower — was a hit. It allows for integrated wireless charging, keeping phones powered while encouraging phone-free cooking and entertaining. On the finish side, Fabuwood expanded its palette with a handful of attractive new hues, including an alluring Pistachio Green (left).

DANVER
Danver and its partner brand, Brown Jordan Outdoor Kitchens, kicked off the show with a strong presence in the West Hall, showcasing a slew of new offerings. Highlights include the expanded Ascento Collection, which comprises both the Ascento Outdoor kitchen and Outdoor Living Accessories. Designed in collaboration with Danver’s Creative Director, Daniel Germani, the latest additions to the collection feature a striking Walnut Woodgrain Finish for the outdoor kitchen (right). The finish mimics the look and feel of natural wood with the durability of stainless steel. The kitchen is shown with a True Caliber grill and will also be available in new powder-coated finishes this spring. New outdoor accessories included planters in four different sizes along with an eye-catching bench (left), each maintaining the collection’s sleek, minimalistic aesthetic.

INFINITY DRAIN
Color us stunned. Infinity Drain’s latest architectural solutions deliver what can only be described as haute couture functionality for your sinks, floors, and showers. Disco-rectangle (left), a tile insert featuring organic, curved contours, was a major draw. It’s available in 10 designer finishes. Equally striking, the Adhesion Linear Drain is a pattern-based solution created in collaboration with Gensler.

RICHELIEU
Richelieu’s new and aptly named Atipica hardware (left), designed by Gianmarco Codato and Luciano Trevisol, was a sensation at the show. Defined by geometric shapes and tactile surfaces, the collection offered the perfect balance of style and functionality, and was just one of several decorative hardware launches for the brand. Meanwhile, Richelieu also introduced the FlexyLED AT6 system (right), a flexible linear module featuring silicone-encapsulated technology that provides soft, ambient illumination.

BRIZO
The Roccesco Bath Collection from Brizo embodies all the hallmarks of a timeless design. Each piece features a rounded form in homage to its name — derived from the Italian word for spool — resulting in silhouettes that feel both sculptural and fluid. The faucets balance simplicity with customizable elements (including the handle styles), while the Halo Shower Head (right) offers a funnel-like cascade designed for immersive coverage. Four signature finishes can be specified, including Brilliance Luxe Gold and Matte Black.

ÉCLOS BY COSENTINO
ÉCLOS, Cosentino’s newest mineral surface brand, incorporates the brand’s Inlayr technology to create a cutting-edge new category of mineral surfaces that are manufactured using a layered design system. Thanks in part to advanced robotics engineering processes, what results are 3D designs that feature singular veins and patterns with striking depth. The inaugural Eclectic Veins collection is made with zero crystalline silica.

KOHLER
Kohler’s immersive, 15,600-square-foot booth rightfully earned Best of Show. Showcasing innovations across kitchen, bath, and whole-home wellness, the brand delivered a fully realized experience — anchored by House Party — an expansive designer-driven installation featuring seven impeccably styled spaces. Among the highlights were the Kohler x Studio McGee Audrine farmhouse kitchen sink collection (left) and the Derring Carillon Artist Editions Sink (right), made by artisans in Kohler, Wisconsin. The latter debuted in Pearlized — an iridescent finish developed in collaboration with artist David Franklin that transforms the sink into a shimmering example of form meeting function. Expanding into the wellness category, Kohler also unveiled its new premium indoor and outdoor KOHLER Saunas. The saunas are crafted with refined wood finishes and advanced mineral wool insulation engineered for superior heat retention among many other performance-driven elements.

ARTISTIC TILE
Artistic Tile launched its third collaboration with designer Ali Budd, debuting three new tile designs. Varo (left) celebrates movement and the exploration of pattern, consisting of six different stone panels that allow for endless configurations. Sculpta (right), meanwhile, explores form and depth, light and shadow with eye-catching dimensional etching. Both designs are part of the brand’s “Tailored To” program, allowing for customization in size, scale, color, and material.

THE WOOD VENEER HUB (WVH)
Building on 50 years of material innovation, WVH showcased its capabilities in premium wood panels and architectural surfaces through high-profile collabs, including an exclusive collection with “Property Brothers” hosts Drew and Jonathan Scott. The Drew & Jonathan Home x WVH Collection features Grainmatch Acoustic Wall Panels (right) — available in natural oak or walnut — which utilize some of the brand’s proprietary technology to align each veneer slat for a seamless, solid wood appearance. The brand also previewed the ALMA by ALFONSO Verduzco x WVH Collection. The Reflejo Ambiente surface (left) offers a dramatic appeal, blending traditional artisan materials with precision-crafted manufacturing.

TRUE CALIBER
Grilling enthusiasts have reason to celebrate: True Caliber unveiled a sculptural powerhouse in its newly reimagined Signature Rockwell Grill. Designed by David Rockwell to evoke the communal spirit of a picnic table, the 360-degree freestanding social grill features an ingenious “disappearing lid” that allows chefs to seamlessly interact with guests. The grill earned Best of KBIS: Kitchen Style Statement and is shown in the brand’s newly reintroduced legacy hue, Crimson. True Caliber also debuted Espresso, its 2026 Color of the Year — a rich chocolate shade reminiscent of a perfectly pulled ristretto.

FITTINGS METAL COLLECTION
Fittings Metal Collection rolled out a variety of new products at this year’s show, including Cellarette, a chic new wine wall system. The steel-based design is available in six powder-coated finishes, optional Swarovski crystal details, and interchangeable finial styles.

CERAMICS OF ITALY
Who doesn’t love tile? Ceramics of Italy never disappoints, especially when showcasing new collections from ABK Group, Marca Corona, and Mirage. The latter introduced NÖRIVEN (right), a porcelain stoneware collection inspired by the iconic Portland stone used in landmarks such as the British Museum — it’s designed to transition between indoor and outdoor spaces. On the left, from Ceramiche Marca Corona, is the Terrasale collection. This versatile porcelain stoneware harnesses the expressive power of materials such as volcanic basalt and marine limestone. Available in a compact format, the collection comes in a variety of shades — including earth-toned hues — complemented by both natural and glossy finishes. Meanwhile, ABK Group showcased large-format porcelain slabs with a Botticino marble effect from its MATERIA brand.

SIGNATURE KITCHEN SUITE (SKS)
SKS introduced the 36” Induction Pro Range — the largest capacity steam-combi convection oven. It is also the first range in its class to pair ENERGY STAR certification with steam-combi functionality. For the home chef, or “Technicurean,” the perks don’t stop there. The range’s advanced modes include Steam Sous Vide, Air Fry, ProHeat Convection, and Gourmet Steam. A powerful dual-center element is also able to boil a quart of water in under a minute, while a cookware compatibility indicator shows which pots and pans are induction-ready.
