While at the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS) in Vegas, we sourced the most in-demand trends for updating kitchen and bath faucets and fixtures. Color, ornate details, and innovative tech are just a few of the staples introduced for 2024. Utilizing these eye-catching products in your remodel can provide a much-needed refresh and infuse new life into your space.
Gone are the days of all-white everything; color is taking over and showing up in unique ways in both kitchens and bathrooms. You've heard the saying "everything but the kitchen sink," but in 2024, even the kitchen sink received a makeover in various shades of the season's hottest colorways. Move over white porcelain and stainless steel; the new sink on the block will make you green with envy. Sinks, tubs, and fixtures adorned in beautiful shades of teal, fresh green, and brick and bright and colorful vanities in pink and blue are ready to lend energy and personality to your bathroom. 2024's updated color palette offers a variety of options across the color spectrum, from vivid and punchy to delicate and earthy. These crisp hues transform your bathroom or kitchen into dynamic reflections of your personal style, creating the ultimate in self-expression.
What's old is new again. Vintage looks are making a comeback in 2024. From curved and contoured faucets reminiscent of midcentury architecture to shaker-style vanities, finding the perfect piece to add a touch of nostalgia to your design just got easier. Kohler reintroduced several popular colorways from its archives, adding them to their vintage-inspired clawfoot tub, sinks, and toilets, all part of their Heritage Colors collection. In the kitchen, bridge faucets in subdued matte and luxe gold finishes, such as the Rook Collection from Brizo, add old-world charm while still imparting style and modern functionality. Rich details and intricate embellishments were meticulously carved into knobs and handles, imbuing them with a unique charm. Although seemingly minor, these accents contribute an impactful element to the overall visual narrative of your kitchen or bath.
Minimalist elements and rustic design shined at KBIS. This trend emphasized clean lines and simple shapes that created visually appealing spaces. Wall-mounted bathroom faucets and vanities in refined tones, matte textures, and geometric shapes were popular choices that contributed to these spaces' clean and modern feel. The color palette was dominated by earthy wood tones, creamy neutrals, dark, muted mattes, and sleek mixed metals blending to create an eclectic yet cohesive look. Using mixed materials adds texture and interest to these spaces while providing a cozy, lived-in feel that is both inviting and stylish.
High-tech shower systems promoting personal health and wellness were a staple on the KBIS showroom floor.
Spa-like luxury intertwined with high-tech solutions allows you to experience a personal wellness retreat at the touch of a button in your bathroom. Kohler's new SpaViva hand shower includes magnetic attachments to deep clean your pores, exfoliate your skin, or massage your body. Water purification and sustainable water use remain top of mind thanks to new impurity-filtering shower heads and smart tech shower appliances that recirculate and recycle your shower water. These trends are sure to appeal to both tech-savvy and design-conscious homeowners.
