Inspiration for your project: Gold Medal winners from KBIS 2026
February 24, 2026 · Cheryl Savit
The newest products for kitchens and baths make their debut at the annual KBIS show. Even when we don’t attend, we love to see what’s happening in the industry and to share the gold winners with you for a bit of inspiration. The KBIS Best in Show awards were sponsored by Luxe Interiors + Design magazine and judged by a panel of interior design and kitchen design experts.
Best in Show
KitchenAid took home the honors for Best in Show for the Smart Double Wall Oven with Live Look In technology (a built-in camera). The oven comes in a range of colors and finishes and offers several attachments from baking stone to steam.
Style Statement Kitchen Gold
The Signature Rockwell from True Caliber is a new deluxe grill that works with their other award-winning products for the ultimate outdoor kitchen. Made in America, you can find their refrigerators and built-in grills at Yale Appliance. Never fear - spring is coming and outdoor grilling will be back on the menu!
Style Statement Bath Gold
Sensa Expanded Quartzite Collection from Cosentino ups the ante with their beautiful natural stone catalogue. Shown here Marau.
Game Changing Innovation Gold
FreePower for Countertop from FreePower. They’ve developed the most advanced wireless charging solution for countertops, bringing style and effortless power to kitchens everywhere. When the phone or tablet is charging, a square lights up letting you know (and you can change colors). We agree - this could be a game changer by having fewer outlets in the kitchen. One of our local collaborators, Divine Stoneworks, installs FreePower. And don’t worry about repairs - the tech is accessible through the cabinetry.
Most Functional Find + Sustainable Standout Gold
MORE® AntiEtch Next Gen from More Surface Care. This product won two awards at KBIS. Used in New England by Boston Stone Restoration, Next Gen keeps your new stone looking new!
Shout out to our friends at Fabuwood who won Best Large Booth at the show, designed by founders Carolina Gentry and Beth Dotolo at Pulp Design Studios.
The silver winners look inspiring as well. Bottom line: we are always on the lookout for new, interesting products for cooking and appliances, lighting, countertops, tile, fixtures and more. If you’re thinking about a kitchen or bath renovation, let’s talk. Smart planning provides the best results.
