KBIS, the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show took place in Orlando this year. Combined with IBIS, the International Builder Industry Show there were more than 70,000 people in attendance. Having gone virtual last year due to the pandemic, some were concerned there would be a small turn out when the show returned to in-person attendance, but that was far from the case.

As a Kitchen and Bath designer, I have been attending KBIS for about 12 years now and each time I am amazed at the knowledge and connections I come away with. This year was certainly no different as I took my entire team with me so that we could spread out and get as much value as possible in the short time we were there. KBIS offers far more than one could possibly see in the 4-day show, so divide and conquer!

This year I was lucky enough to have been chosen as one of Modenus Medias Designhounds KBIS, which is a group of Interior design influencers from across the country who scour the show looking for the most innovative new technologies and beautiful new products to spotlight. Each Designhounds member receives 10 awards to bestow on their favorite products from the show. I have to say there were so many amazing products and the show is so large with so much to see, it was difficult to narrow it down to only 10, but I did manage to complete the task.
