🍳Elevated Kitchen Design: Haute @ Home Video #5 Drops Today🔥

July 10, 2026

Our team was on-site at the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS) and the International Builders’ Show (IBS), searching for the latest in design and home construction. Walk the floor with us to see our top picks from Orlando.

If the first four stops on this tour proved that performance and beauty no longer compete, KBIS and IBS 2026 made the case that the kitchen itself has become the most personal room in the house. The products earning attention weren’t just well-made, they had a point of view. Ranges are being designed to be looked at, not just cooked on. Ventilation is being treated less like an appliance and more like architecture, built either to disappear into the space or to command the room. Lighting is doing double duty as sculpture. Even the oven is getting smarter without getting more complicated. And the smallest details, the knobs and pulls that most people never think twice about, are being asked to carry real design weight. The throughline across this batch: nothing in today’s kitchen is allowed to be default anymore. Every surface, every fixture, every finish is a decision.

The Haute @ Home video series captures the most compelling new products debuting at KBIS and IBS 2026, delivering editorial-style content that lives on YouTube, social channels, and in front of national trade and consumer media across the shelter and design space. With a streamlined, 20-minute booth shoot focused on a single trend-worthy product — no on-camera interviews required — brands gain polished, ready-to-share video assets that extend their tradeshow investment well beyond Orlando. Featured brands in this video include:

 

Vezini FeaturedThe Range That Owns the Room

Vezeni’s 48-inch Randolph Range pairs bold proportions and signature blue knobs with professional-grade power, precise temperature control, and exceptional heat distribution. Inspired by the energy of Chicago’s Randolph Street, it’s a range built to be the centerpiece of the kitchen and to earn that spot every time it’s used.

 

VentAHood FeaturedVentilation, Built Around You

Vent-A-Hood starts with its signature Magic Lung® technology and builds outward from there, offering near-total flexibility in shape, scale, finish, and application. Whether it’s a liner engineered to vanish into custom cabinetry or a fully sculptural statement hood, the system adapts to the design instead of the other way around.

 

Kichler FeaturedLighting That Shapes the Room, Not Just Lights It

Kichler brings art lights, sconces, pendants, and chandeliers together under one design language, each piece built with sculptural silhouettes, layered finishes, and solid brass construction. Etched glass, adjustable shades, and integrated LED technology deliver light that’s directional where you need it and ambient where you want it.

 

Sharp FeaturedSpeed Without the Shortcuts

The Sharp Celerity™ High-Speed Wall Oven uses industry-first Golden Heater Technology, True European Convection, and inverter microwave technology to cook a whole chicken up to three times faster than a conventional oven. With nine manual modes, more than 100 smart presets, and app-based control, it proves speed and simplicity aren’t a trade-off.

 

TopKnobs FeaturedThe Detail That Finishes the Design

Top Knobs’ Garrison Collection pairs contrasting textures across four suites and two interchangeable backplate styles, blending industrial character with modern polish. It’s proof that the smallest fixtures in a kitchen carry some of its biggest design decisions.
