Each year the National Kitchen & Bath Show (KBIS) judges companies’ submissions of the best and most innovative products. It is exciting to see what is cutting-edge, meets the growing demand for wellness, and is an improvement in design, function, efficiency, and sustainability. These award-winning products can provide great ideas for your next home remodeling project, or even as a gift!
Best of Show
Aladdin by EFFE Perfect Wellness. Luxury and simplicity combine for this personal sauna. It has a mirror wrap-around at the base that elevates the look, making it seem like it is floating. Saunas are valued for a means of assisting the body to detox.
Wellness Trailblazer
Gold: Kohler x Remedy Place Ice Bath by Kohler. Perhaps you prefer a cold plunge’s benefits of driving circulation deep into your core organs. Kohler partnered with a chiropractor (owner of social wellness club Remedy) who helped design the stylish cold plunge bathtub for a great home experience.
Style Statement: Bath
Gold: James Martin Vanities x Cosentino x FreePower Collaboration. Cosentino’s Silestone, a high-quality, durable, low–maintenance quartz surface will provide five of the most popular colors for James Martin 375 premium vanity cabinet designs.
Style Statement: Kitchen
Gold: Vera Deluxe Workstation Kitchen Sink by TopZero. This marine-grade stainless steel sink has a frame to hold multiple multi-level accessories for cutting, straining, and draining, with an LED-lit basin.
Game-Changing Innovation
Gold: VIBE by LifeValet. Provides stylish grab bars with aesthetics in mind. From hidden wall integration, colors, added texture, patterns, or space for tile inserts, it will be a beautiful accessory that increases safety.
Most Functional Find
Gold: Space Step by Blum. Has a pull-out platform for the bottom drawer of the cabinet that can be stepped on to have greater reach, whether it be for a child brushing their teeth or an adult reaching the upper cabinet contents.
