KBIS is where the future of kitchen and bath design is revealed.
Every year, thousands of industry leaders gather to unveil what’s next on the horizon, from breakthrough wellness technology to sculptural fixtures and sustainability innovations that redefine luxury.
The Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS), hosted by the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA), brings together more than 650 brands to debut what’s next in kitchen and bath design.
For homeowners, designers, and remodelers alike, the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show sets the tone for the year ahead.
And at Infusion Kitchen and Bath Showrooms by Etna, we don’t wait for trends to trickle down. We invest in attending KBIS 2026 so our clients are always in the know.
As a family-owned showroom committed to elevated expertise and ongoing education, we believe luxury is in the details, and we make it our responsibility to learn them firsthand.
By walking the show floor, experiencing immersive product launches, and engaging directly with leading brands, we bring back more than inspiration. We bring back insight.
Because when you step into our showroom, you deserve to know that the guidance you receive reflects what’s shaping kitchens and baths right now.
KBIS is more than a showcase; it’s a pulse check on the future of the industry.
The event features:
650+ exhibiting brands
Immersive product launches
Live demonstrations
NEXTStage educational programming
Award-winning innovation categories
What debuts at KBIS doesn’t stay on the show floor.
The displays influence:
The finishes designers specify
The technology remodelers install
The wellness features homeowners begin requesting
The sustainability standards clients expect
For our Michigan clients (from first-time custom home builders to experienced designers), it means access to products and insight that are ahead of the curve.
And that’s intentional. We go to KBIS so you don’t have to wonder what’s next.
Every year, the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show reveals where design is heading next.
From Best of KBIS award categories to NEXTStage programming and immersive brand showcases, this year’s event made one thing clear: kitchens and baths are becoming more intentional, more wellness-driven, and more seamlessly integrated into everyday life.
The themes emerging this year weren’t just beautiful. They were purposeful.
Here are the five trends that stood out most to our team and what they mean for your next project.
Wellness-forward design took center stage across booths, award categories, and brand messaging at KBIS 2026.
What once felt like a splurge is quickly becoming an expectation in elevated homes.
What we saw:
Immersive spa-style environments at Kohler, featuring sauna concepts and cold-plunge integrations that blur the line between retreat and residence
Advanced bidets and hydrotherapy systems are evolving into everyday essentials
Intelligent shower systems with precision temperature and personalized settings
Hydration and water quality innovations from Elkay, including enhanced filtration and bottle-filling stations
What it means for our clients:
Bathrooms are becoming restorative retreats. Kitchens are becoming wellness hubs.
In our showroom, you can experience these features firsthand. From live faucet demonstrations to integrated wellness solutions that elevate everyday living.
At KBIS 2026, sustainability wasn’t positioned as a compromise. It was positioned as intelligent luxury.
The message was clear: today’s clients expect products that perform beautifully and reduce environmental impact. Longevity, efficiency, and responsible sourcing are now part of what defines high-end design.
What we saw:
Water-saving technologies integrated seamlessly into premium fixtures
Durable materials engineered for long-term performance and reduced waste
Energy-efficient systems that don’t sacrifice aesthetics
Artisan-crafted, responsibly sourced products from brands like Native Trails that combine sustainability with texture, warmth, and refined design
What it means for our clients:
Sustainability is no longer a secondary conversation.
At Infusion, we curate brands that align with this philosophy and offer sustainable solutions that feel elevated rather than utilitarian.
Fixtures are no longer quiet background elements. They’re expressive, architectural, and intentionally bold focal points.
Across award categories focused on style and innovation, we saw silhouettes that felt fashion-inspired, finishes that layered texture with tone, and hardware that commanded attention rather than blended in.
What we saw:
Jewelry-inspired faucets at Brizo featuring mixed metals, knurled details, and architectural lines
Bold, sculptural spouts that double as design statements
Expanded finish palettes beyond matte black and brushed gold
Expressive fireclay sinks from BOCCHI and Kohler introducing color as a design anchor
What it means for our clients:
In our showroom, you don’t have to imagine how a sculptural faucet will feel in your space. You can see it. Touch it. Experience it in motion.
Because in 2026, fixtures aren’t finishing touches. They’re defining features.
Technology was everywhere at KBIS 2026, but you wouldn’t necessarily see it.
The focus wasn’t on flashy screens or visible controls. It was on seamless integration. Smart features are becoming quieter, more intuitive, and beautifully embedded into everyday design.
Luxury in 2026 is effortless.
What we saw:
Touchless activation in both kitchens and baths
Digital shower systems with precise temperature memory and user presets
Integrated lighting layered directly into mirrors, cabinetry, and vanities
Advanced smart controls showcased by brands like Kohler that enhance comfort without visual clutter
What it means for our clients:
At Infusion, we believe technology should elevate your experience, not dominate your space. That’s why we prioritize integrated solutions you can experience live in our showroom, so you understand exactly how they function before they’re installed in your home.
One of the strongest themes across KBIS 2026 panels and trend programming was this: Design must reflect real life.
Not an idealized life. Not showroom only. Real life.
From multigenerational living to aging-in-place considerations to flexible spaces that serve multiple functions, kitchens and baths are becoming more adaptable, thoughtful, and deeply personal.
What we saw:
Flexible layouts designed to evolve with families over time
Aging-in-place features integrated beautifully — not clinically
Storage solutions that support real cooking, real hosting, real routines
Customization across finishes, hardware, and configurations
What it means for our clients:
This is where our personalized approach matters most. We don’t push cookie-cutter packages. We ask how you cook, how you gather, how you recharge, and even how you host.
Because the most successful spaces aren’t just beautiful, they’re built around you.
Trends tell the story of where design is going. Brands show us how it gets there.
At KBIS 2026, several manufacturers stood out for innovation, craftsmanship, and clarity of vision. These are brands we proudly carry at Infusion, and seeing their newest releases firsthand reinforces why they continue to lead.
