KBIS: The Hottest 2019 Kitchen Trends
Caesarstone recently attended the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS) and spotted many unique and exciting 2019 kitchen trends. This premier event for the kitchen and bath industry brings together thought leaders, designers, manufacturers, and more to share ideas and inspire new styles. While there was much to see, the following trends topped our list as the real eye-catchers of KBIS 2019.
New Faucet Designs
Faucets also got a new look this year, borrowing from professional kitchen design. As more homeowners choose to upgrade their kitchens to a semi-professional level with commercial-grade appliances, they want fixtures that match the upscale look. Most of the faucet designs seen at KBIS provided a scaled-back version of professional faucets with pull-down hoses and heavy nozzle sprays. Also on display—a 3-D printed faucet from DXV by American Standard that took home a Best of Show award. The design offers a unique water experience with a minimalist design.
These colorful and modern faucets are the ideal complement for a variety of kitchen countertop trends. Caesarstone’s Airy Concrete, Frozen Terra, or Alpine Mist quartz countertops offer a neutral stage with urbane depth.
Bold Hues for 2019 Kitchen Trends
Luxury appliance manufacturer Dacor allows you to custom pick your own color, while Hestan offers 12 radiant shades to choose from. Another manufacturer allows you to customize the color of handles, providing a unique way to add color to your kitchen. Samsung also introduced a champagne-colored stainless-steel washer and dryer to bring some brightness into a sometimes drab space.
Bold kitchen colors pair nicely with 2019’s textured neutral kitchen countertop trend. Caesarstone’s Blizzard or Concrete surfaces provide the perfect backdrop for 2019 kitchen colors, allowing bright shades to pop while maintaining a modern, sleek appearance.
Innovative Tech in the Kitchen
Also, more and more refrigerators featuring touchscreen technology continue to roll out, including the Samsung Family Hub Fridgewith a built-in LED screen. Further, fridges are now available with “flex” drawers that can be used either for refrigeration or freezing.
Caesarstone, Always on Trend
As the largest surface in the kitchen, a countertop helps set the tone of a space—but quartz surfaces from Caesarstone offer much more than ambiance. Caesarstone combines beauty and resilience to produce some of the finest quartz countertops in the industry, offering superior functionality, easy-maintenance, and unsurpassed quality to provide uncompromised performance for years to come.
