If you walked the floor at KBIS in Orlando last month, you know: color is back, and it’s bold. And there’s some jaw-dropping technology bringing health and wellness into the home.
That’s what our very own Bobby Berk shared with Jenna Bush Hager and Sheinelle Jones on the TODAY show last week. Here’s a recap:
James Martin Vanities with Wireless Charging
Admit it: phones are following us into the bathroom. Now we can keep them charged up while we’re showering. James Martin, Cosentino, and FreePower Charging have masterminded to create the vanity of the future–with gorgeous Silestone® countertops. Best of all? They’re in stock right now and ready to install.
KOHLER’S® Aquifer® 4-in-1 Beverage System
Here’s a sleek solution that declutters the counter and reduces waste: ambient, chilled, near boiling, and sparkling water all at the tap of your finger. The system automatically detects how much will fill your glass, and it can be set up as a wet bar–or simply installed next to the kitchen sink (with the unit tucked away underneath). Given the amount of money saved over the years in beverages, it’ll pay for itself.
Dekoda
KBIS made it clear: Integrating wellness into the home is a key innovation in interior design. Enter the smart bathroom. The Dekoda attaches to any toilet to monitor hydration and gut health. It’s fingerprint-enabled to recognize everyone in the family, and the data is handily encrypted in the KOHLER health app to help build better health habits.
TOTO Vibrant Color Vessel Lavatories
Not since the 70s and 80s has color made such a splash in the bath, but this is no retro comeback. TOTO has re-invented the ordinary but essential bathroom sink, elevating it to a work of art to customize each space.
Fabuwood Color-Match Cabinetry
Fabuwood outdid itself with its “Sound of Home” showroom at KBIS, and that’s the kind of impression their custom cabinets make–which can be matched to any color from Sherwin Williams or Benjamin Moore. And they’re not just for kitchens and baths–libraries and offices are prime canvases for a color statement.
Daltile® Contempee Wall Tile
The white, pale tones of yesterday’s home trends are quickly receding into the background as rich color and earthy patterns dominate design. The Contempee collection combines natural cracking, interesting textures, and 3D tile–offering endless possibilities from detailed accents to statement walls.
