Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) 2020: main trends

In Las Vegas at the end of January, the Kitchen exhibition was traditionally held & Bath Industry 2020, where designers and manufacturers from different countries presented trends and innovations in the field of kitchen and bathroom design. Our tips site will tell you about the most striking trends showcased at the show.

Recall that last year, the portal separately wrote about the main kitchen trends & Bath Industry 2019 in general and the most interesting mixers. This time, let’s start our story about the exhibition with the colors that dominated the exhibitions..

In the kitchens and bathrooms there were many shades of blue – from pale blue to deep dark, deep. This is not surprising, because it was the “sky at dusk” color that became the choice of the Pantone Color Institute at the end of last year..

However, at the Las Vegas exhibition there were also many exhibits in dark colors – gray, graphite, almost black. Designers call such shades dramatic; they actually look impressive. Despite this noticeable trend, Kitchen & Bath Industry and traditional white kitchens, very light countertops and tiles.

The Dark collection by Caesarstone and Laurent by Dekton showcased all the features of the most popular material for kitchen countertops in 2020 – engineered quartz. The material really deserves praise – it consists of 95% natural stone, 5% of binding pigments and resins. Today, quartz has confidently pushed marble and granite from the market for the production of countertops..

Overall countertops in Kitchen & Bath Industry was dominated by only two main shades – either black, dark gray with streaks of gold and brown, or very light with streaks of gray, blue and gold. Both options are exactly in trend, are actively used by designers and are able to transform any kitchen. And the bathroom too, where quartz is used for the countertop under the sink.

A lot of attention was paid, of course, to household appliances for kitchens. Manufacturers are making it more professional and adding new features. For example, on Kitchen & Bath Industry presented steam ovens capable of professionally baking pizza, with grill function and built-in deep fat fryer. Powerful hotplates and outstanding control knobs are the main trend in hobs.

The faucets at the exhibition were again distinguished by their original handles, the design of which each buyer can choose separately from the options offered by the manufacturer. Black and gold faucets are still popular with designers, and the most popular styles in this area are loft and art deco..
