February 20, 2026

The Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) announced the winners of the annual Best of KBIS Awards. Sponsored by LUXE Interiors + Design, the industry’s premier awards program celebrates the visionaries driving the latest trends and cutting-edge products, recognizing innovation, elegance, sustainability, and all-around excellence. Winners were announced to a packed house at the KBIS NEXTStage on February 18, 2026, in Orlando. Sarah Shelton, Senior Market Editor of LUXE Interiors + Design, led the ceremony as this year’s host for a third time.

“The atmosphere at the Best of KBIS Awards is always so inspiring and energizing, and this year was no different,” said Shelton after the ceremony. “To see new and exciting products in the kitchen and bath categories – and then to see those brands and companies win for their hard work and dedication – it makes me so proud of our industry and excited for the future ahead. These awards encourage everyone from brand titans to emerging startups to show up with their best foot forward, and rewards risk-taking, innovation, and artistic flair. I’m honored to be a part of this special event that celebrates the creativity and talent of so many, and these products will inspire the pages of LUXE all year long. We’re so proud of our long-standing partnership with NKBA|KBIS. Bravo to all the winners and finalists.”
