KBIS 2024: Hot Trends for the Kitchen

The design world is buzzing after the premier Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS) , where the biggest names in the industry come together to show off their latest creations at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Here's a look at some of the emerging kitchen trends and must-haves from this year's show. Starting in the heart of the home, the kitchen, luxury appliance brand Signature Kitchen Suite , announced its new transitional series marrying gourmet cooking technology and high-end sophisticated design. It includes gorgeous 30-inch double wall ovens with innovative AI technology using a built-in camera. It's literally able to identify ingredients you have on hand and can automatically suggest optimal recipes using Wifi connectivity and their LG ThinQ app. The camera can also help remotely monitor what you're cooking in real time and take pics and timelapse videos that you can share with your friends and family. And this oven has convection cooking but also has a steam sous vide mode that makes things moist and tender on the inside and crispy and flaky on the outside. Knock twice with the InstaView windows so you can see perfectly without having to open the door. Part of the transitional design, the oven comes in a satin stainless steel and has a slim handle and a 7-inch led touchscreen for a sleek and modern look. And of course, there's LG's showstopping Signature Kitchen Suite 48-Inch Built-In French Door Refrigerator with a convertible refrigerator/freezer drawer for unmatched versatility and in a French door configuration that people love for entertaining. Next up cabinets, Fabuwood the #1 semi-custom cabinet makers, just consistently surpass industry standards with one-of-a-kind, beautifully handcrafted cabinetry. Their natural timber wood is just gorgeous, paired with black. Then of course, white cabinets are going nowhere so check out their onyx frost, but they are also showing a ton of new and just beautiful designer colors, such as teal and green. A lot of traditional shaker styles with a modern twist. Other design touches we're seeing include; interesting pull handles; lots of natural elements such as leather; beautiful veined countertops that are a little bit darker colors with thicker slabs, and lastly, unique shelving with roping.
