Keeping up with hot trends in kitchens and baths

Highmark Interior Designer Kristen Schammel was on hand at the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show in Las Vegas in late April soaking up the latest designs trends.

KBIS is the world’s biggest event focused solely on kitchens and baths, drawing thousands of building trade professionals from over 50 countries.

“I love going to KBIS; it’s a great place to get ideas to bring back to my clients.”

— Kristen Schammel, Highmark's Interior Designer

Here's what made news at KBIS:

• Natural quartz countertops in new designs that look more like granite
• Benjamin Moore paints that are specifically matched to granite countertops
• Clean-lined plumbing fixtures, in the hot new satin nickel finish
• Beautiful moldings, corbels and other architectural wood details from Enkeboll
• Kohler toilets that flush themselves and put the seat down after 90 seconds!
