Today, I’m sharing design features I noted at the kitchen and bath show, KBIS 2025. I have photos showing some of the popular design details of note, curves, arches, warm neutrals, terracotta, reeded glass, brass, wallpaper and much more!
Curves, arches and scallops are still popular design features to incorporate into your kitchen and bath projects.
This blush bathroom mock up in the Monogram Appliances booth was divine. The curved wall and then the tambour cabinet front speak to this popular style trend.
Arches were everywhere and I noticed this scalloped backsplash detail in the Moen booth.
80’s details like this triple bullnose edge are a curvy design feature that is quite on trend.
Deep radius corners and a double bullnose counter on this kitchen island in the Monogram booth.
All we’re missing in this 80’s look is glass block. :-) This takes me back!
Curvy products were everywhere at KBIS 2025.
Tambour and reeded looks are still a significant style trend.
I do love seeing the tambour look. It is a great way to deal with curves and add texture to a room. Reeded glass also repeats this idea, as does vertically stacked, rectangular tiles.
Love the reeded texture on this vessel sink by Ruvati.
Stylish glass enclosure in the Rohl booth.
Reeded glass in the Cosentino booth.
Checkerboard Pattern
Checkerboard patterns are a trendy touch these days. I probably would only do this layout in an enlarged floor pattern, on an angle, like a classic look. I feel like this smaller sized checkerboard trend won’t be around that long. It is a lively touch though!
The Café Appliances booth had lots of bold color and trendy details.

Bold colors and patterns filled the Café Appliances booth.
Terracotta and warmer colors
There were lots of warm color tones seen at KBIS 2025 this year, warm stone looks, warm tile colors, etc.
This photo doesn’t do this slab justice. It is such a pretty sandy color with beautiful veining, from Cosentino.
These amazing earth tone porcelain slabs are new from Caesarstone. They are so realistic.
This is a wood look porcelain and then a travertine look porcelain. They look so real.
Porcelain Slabs
It seems like vendors are coming out with more porcelain slab options as opposed to quartz. I’m typically not a fan as porcelain slabs limit the way you can edge the material, but they do seem to be popular.
Taj Mahal porcelain slab look-alikes were aseen at several different vendor booths. These looked really good, but the give away is how they are very consistent looking. I found most of them missing that gold vein that the real material has sometimes. This one below is called “Opal Taj” from Caesarstone.

Terracotta colors were popular too. Posting about this color reminds me of recent High Point Market trips.
Tile from Artistic Tile
New terracotta color introduced from Native Trails.
Brass is the most popular metal finish but variety is seen more and more.
I heard one Youtube design influencer report that chrome was making a comeback with metal finishes this year. I wouldn’t go banking on that one. :-)
Luxury design is definitely using brass as a primary metal finish although mixing metals is definitely a big YES.

Modern Matter Hardware is a luxury decorative hardware brand.
Black and brass mix in the Kohler booth.
Teak and brass in the new Frank Lloyd Wright collection from Brizo.
Brands are offering more and more variety in metal finishes these days.
This “toasted bronze” finish is new from Berenson Hardware. I think it is about time oil rubbed bronze got a reboot and this finish looks lighter and slightly pinker in color. I can see lots of applications for this finish since we are all loving terracotta these days.
The Cosentino booth won first place in the large booth competition at the show this year. I have to say the way this booth felt calm and sophisticated while really showing off their products, even when teaming with people, was quite remarkable. I can see why they won first place.
