🍷The Second Video in our 2026 Haute @ Home Series Drops Today👀

April 27, 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.

KBIS 2026 made one thing clear: the kitchen and bath industry has graduated from novelty to intention. The innovations earning attention in Orlando weren’t the loudest or the most loaded with features: they were the most considered. Across the show floor, a few unmistakable currents ran through the best of what brands brought to market. Wellness has fully arrived in the bath, not as a trend word, but as a design standard, with soaking tubs, whole-home water systems, and spa-calibrated finishes reframing the bathroom as the most personal room in the house. Personalization is no longer a premium option; it’s a baseline expectation, with homeowners and designers alike demanding materials, forms, and systems that reflect how they actually live. And the most compelling products were defined by what you couldn’t see: invisible technology, seamless integration, and the quiet confidence of design that removes itself from the equation to let the space do the talking.

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:

 

Feature Artistic TileMarble That Earns a Second Look…and a Third

Artistic Tile’s Undercoat collection transforms Bianco Antico marble into something truly sculptural: hand-carved organic striations in varying lengths and widths create movement, depth, and shadow that shift beautifully as the light changes. It’s marble reimagined as art, and it’s exactly the kind of surface that makes a wall unforgettable.

 

Feature KarranThe Faucet That Does One More Thing — Really Well

Karran’s Dispoflow faucet integrates an illuminated touch button that activates the garbage disposal directly from the faucet: no separate switch, no awkward reach. It’s a small detail with a big impact on how a kitchen actually functions, day in and day out.

 

Feature HauslaneYour Range Hood Just Got Smarter Than You

Hauslane’s Theodore range hood, powered by SensAble™ technology, senses when you step up to the stove and activates automatically, then uses infrared heat detection to target ventilation precisely where it’s needed, at the quietest possible level. It’s high-performance kitchen ventilation that reads the room and responds without you lifting a finger.

 

Feature DaltileDramatic Marble Without the Marble Drama

Daltile’s Elemental Selection Calacatta Aries captures the bold veining and movement of natural stone, without the upkeep that usually comes with it. Timeless in look, practical by design, it’s the kind of surface that elevates a space without demanding anything in return.

 

Feature GoldenHomeDesign It Before You Build It, Down to the Last Cabinet

GoldenHome’s AI-powered, three-dimensional spatial planning tool lets designers and homeowners configure kitchens, bathrooms, and wardrobes in precise detail before a single cabinet is built — then backs it up with American-manufactured custom cabinetry that brings the vision to life. It’s where digital design intelligence meets real-world craftsmanship.
