Held last week in Orlando, Florida, the 2026 Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) marked the Sunshine State’s final turn as host before the event returns to Las Vegas for the foreseeable future—and it went out with a bang. The National Kitchen & Bath Association drew record crowds to the Orange County Convention Center, where 2,250 exhibitors unveiled their latest innovations to more than 100,000 registrants. For us at LUXE, KBIS is where cutting-edge technology and emerging trends converge, offering a glimpse at the product ideas set to shape the design world in the year ahead. From sleek new appliances to inspired collaborations, here’s what we predict will take center stage in 2026 and beyond.
1. SKS Gets Into The Laundry Game
Known for their top-of-the-line kitchen appliances, SKS (formerly known as Signature Kitchen Suites) debuted their first ever line of laundry appliances, marking a bold move outside the kitchen category and into the whole home. The portfolio is made up of three stellar products, including an all-in-one WashCombo, a dryer, and, our favorite, a Mini-Wash pedestal washer.
2. Brizo Wows With A Modernist-Inspired Bath Collection
Inspired by Italian contemporary design, Brizo's Roccesco Bath Collection was a notable standout with its rounded, fluid shapes and modernist flair. (Fun fact: the collection gets its name from the Italian word rocchetto, a word associated with rounded objects like coils, spools and reels.) The collection is comprised of shower heads and faucet knobs and levers in four finishes. The Widespread Lavatory Faucet with Arc Spout in Brilliance Black Onyx is illustrated here. Bravo, Brizo!
3. Artistic Tile Delights With A New Designer Collaboration
It wouldn’t be KBIS without a collaboration from Artistic Tile. For this show, the New Jersey-based company showcased three exquisite designs in collaboration with Canadian designer, Ali Budd. Already in the Artistic Tile designer family, Budd’s 2026 designs complement her earlier collection. Here is Varo, a mosaic design featuring an organic pattern of irregular shapes in four different natural stones, including a beautiful Calacatta Rosa marble.
4. Kohler Throws A House Party
Always one of the most popular stops of the show, you never know what awaits you at the Kohler booth. This year, among their buzzy launches of toilets, saunas, and more, seven design firms were invited to create a designated space that together formed the Kohler “House Party.” Each of the designers’ DNA shined with their signature colors and aesthetics seamlessly woven in with Kohler’s products, underscoring a wide range of versatility. It was hard to miss the warm, wood kitchen by the Miami firm Moniomi Design, where the Synthos Kitchen Workstation Sink was command central for this entertainer’s kitchen.
5. Haute Hardware Teams Up With A Paint Powerhouse
Behold Modern Matter’s first powder-coated hardware collection, in collaboration with none other than paint powerhouse Benjamin Moore. Available on Modern Matter’s top-selling knobs and pulls, the available colors include Benjamin Moore’s buzzy 2025 Color of the Year, Silhouette, shown here, along with other, more cheery hues, like Newburyport Blue, Head Over Heels and Mint Chocolate Chip.
6. Monogram’s Newest Dishwasher Is A Game-Changer
Doing the dishes just got easier thanks to Monogram’s new 24” Premium Fully Integrated Dishwasher. What makes it so great? Every centimeter was thoughtfully designed and every pain point accounted for. Those tall, cumbersome, reusable water bottles? There’s a powerful jet for that. Nervous about dainty pieces of flatware or small, easy-to-lose items? A versatile upper third row is the answer. Concerned about noise level? It boasts the quietest cycle in the industry. For fairgoers seeing the appliance IRL, the true highlight was its installation within a real-life kitchen by Richard T. Anuszkiewicz, where warm colors, textured finishes and natural materials converged to create a cozy respite—and spark inspiration for their own spaces.
7. Kitchen Appliances Are Now Part Of The Wellness Revolution
Not all downdrafts are created equal, and JennAir’s new Downdraft Cooktop (in partnership with the German kitchen tech company, BORA) is proof of that sentiment. From an aesthetic POV, the design seamlessly blends into a 30 or 36-inch glass cooktop (say goodbye to those bulky eyesores and grimy contraptions of the past). And, most importantly, the addition of a downdraft prevents odors, grease and steam from spreading beyond the kitchen, supporting the consensus that health and wellness are not just passing trends in the K&B world, but a sector with real staying power.
