NKBA members heading to High Point Market, taking place from April 26 – 30th, won’t want to miss an exciting panel discussion hosted by NKBA on Monday, April 28, 2025 at The Point. This is a must-attend conversation that explores how kitchen and bath design is shaping — and being shaped by — whole-home living trends.
The Point: NKBA K&B Discussion
Date: Monday, April 28, 2025
Time: 2:00 – 3:00 PM
Location: The Point | Commerce Avenue, between Wrenn and Main
Panel Discussion: Emerging Trends in Kitchen and Bath Design
Moderator: Heather Shannon, SVP of Marketing & Communications, NKBA | KBIS
Panelists:
• Michel Smith Boyd, Owner, Michel Smith Boyd, LLC
• Sharon Sherman, ASID, CKD, Owner, Thyme and Place Design
Join us as Heather leads a dynamic conversation with two of the industry’s top design talents. Together, they’ll discuss regional and national kitchen and bath trends, the integration of K&B into full-home design, the rise of outdoor living spaces, and the evolving role of these key rooms in today’s homes. The discussion will conclude with an audience Q&A.
This is an ideal opportunity for interior designers of all disciplines to discover how kitchen and bath are expanding beyond their traditional boundaries — and how this shift can open new creative and business possibilities across the residential design space.
Why High Point Market Matters
Held every April and October in High Point, North Carolina, High Point Market is the world’s largest home furnishings trade show. It brings together tens of thousands of designers, architects, buyers, and manufacturers to explore the newest innovations in furniture, lighting, textiles, and now — increasingly — kitchen and bath. As NKBA continues to bridge design categories and drive conversations across sectors, our presence at High Point Market reflects a growing convergence of style, function, and whole-home integration.
