Adding Warmth to Your Home with the Latest from KBIS 2024

As luxury interior designers, one of the most common requests we hear from our clients is to create spaces that feel warm and welcoming for themselves and their guests. At KBIS 2024, we discovered an array of innovative products that can help you achieve just that in your kitchen or bathroom.

Textural Tiles: Infusing Warmth and Dimension

Textural tiles were a standout trend at KBIS 2024, offering both visual and tactile warmth to interior spaces. These tiles come in a variety of finishes, from glazed options ideal for wet areas to dimensional tiles that add depth to backsplashes and walls. At Lilu, we have been using dimensional tile since the early 2000s. I believe incorporating textural tiles is a timeless trend that has turned into a standard part of interior visual language.

Wood and Stone: Nature-Inspired Warmth

Wood panels and tiles, such as those from Ikonni, showcased at KBIS 2024, offer a natural warmth that can be used creatively in your home. With technological advancements in the industry, textural wood is more accessible to homeowners than ever before. From focal walls to cabinet door panels and even ceilings, the versatility of textural wood allows you to customize your space with warmth and texture.

Similarly, stone products with textured finishes created using C & C routers add a touch of sophistication to your interiors. Consider using stone tiles like these on backsplashes or accent walls to invoke nature-inspired warmth in your space. While these textures elevate the aesthetic of your space, it's essential to consider their cleaning needs and placement to avoid moisture-related issues.

Fixtures & Fittings: Adding Visual Interest

Even sinks, bathtubs, and faucets at KBIS 2024 embraced texture on their exteriors. These textural elements not only enhance visual interest but also contribute to the overall warmth and soothing ambiance of your bathroom.

Creating Your Warm and Welcoming Space

By incorporating textural tiles, wood and stone accents, and textured fixtures, you can infuse warmth and character into your kitchen and bath. These elements not only add visual interest but also create a soothing environment that welcomes you and your guests with open arms. KBIS 2024 was a great showcase of the perfect textures for the homes of the moment.
