SPECIAL REPORT

Members of K+BB's Editorial Advisory Board Share Their Favorite
Trends and Products from the KBIS 2015 Floor
Splashes of color, innovative storage and technology solutions, personalization and ease of use are some of the product and design trends
seen at KBIS this year. Six designers from the K+BB Editorial Advisory Board
shared their selections with us in the following Special Report.

designed for ADA needs. The large convection fan with bi-directional movement allows maximum airﬂow and excellent cooking results.
4. Homecrest Cabinetry. It's one of Souza's favorite cabinet lines because it can be used anywhere - kitchen, laundry area and mudroom.

According to Souza, KBIS was ﬁlled with plenty of
brands we know and love, and these brands have clearly embraced new technology to make our lives easier.
"One takeaway from this year's show was that technology is king," she
added. "Technology, design and function can come together to better
our lives."
1. Kohler's Touchless Flush Technology. Just when you think heated
seats were the best invention to toilets, now we don't even have to touch
our toilets to ﬂush them!
2. TechTop by LG Hausys. Just place your cell phone, exercise tracker, glucose meter, heart-rate meter or portable speaker on the counter
surface, and your battery will automatically charge.
3. Viking's Professional French-Door Double Oven. This design gives a
modern, commercial look to your oven. It matches the current French-door
refrigeration trends and allows users to open it with one hand - perfectly

Gaylor was on her mission to ﬁnd the sustainable
and green products prevalent at KBIS this year. Several
of the products by which she was impressed also fall
into the category of ease of use and comfortable living.
1. Florida Tile's Restore product line is part of its new Thinner program.
According the Gaylor, the planks can be placed over existing tile, which
saves the old tile from winding up in a landﬁll.
2. LED lighting is showing up everywhere these days - even in drawers. The Loox LED Lighting collection from Häfele provides uniform cabinet and drawer illumination so users can easily see and access what
they need inside.
