New Looks for Kitchen and Bath Faucets in 2019
Statement faucets, mixed metals, matte black and gold were on display at the recent Kitchen & Bath Industry Show
New products and styles of fixtures and hardware were showcased at the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS), the industry’s biggest event, held in Las Vegas from Feb. 19 to 21, 2019. We noticed an expansion of offerings in gold finishes as well as in matte black finishes, along with a new take on the mixed-metals trend. Read on to learn about the emerging design trends we spotted at the trade show for the kitchen and bath industries.

Matte Black Offerings Expand and Gold Fixtures Increase
Matte nickel remains by far the top finish choice for homeowners matching their fixtures and hardware in both kitchen and master bathroom remodels, according to Houzz research. But more homeowners now mix finishes than match them, Houzz research shows, and manufacturers displayed a range of finish possibilities at KBIS.
Matte black and gold finishes were seen across the booths at KBIS, with many companies expanding their offerings of matte black and brushed gold. As just one example, Pfister and the brand Fortis, which are under the same parent company, now have 18 kitchen and bath collections that feature matte black and nine that feature brushed gold. Last year the brands had 12 collections with matte black and two with brushed gold.
This year at KBIS, Moen introduced new tub fillers in brushed gold and matte black. The company’s Doux tub filler in matte black is shown in this photo.

Semiprofessional Faucets for Home Kitchens
The professionalization of the home kitchen has been an ongoing trend, with consumers choosing professional-quality range tops, ovens and vent hoods. At this year’s KBIS, a number of companies introduced semiprofessional kitchen faucets. Most have a pull-down nozzle and look like a scaled-back version of the professional faucets that have a stretchy hose structure and a heavy nozzle spray. “For the consumer who is creating a semiprofessional kitchen, they want to make sure their sink and faucet match,” says Lou Rohl, chief operating officer at ROHL.
Seen here is Kohler’s Bellera Semiprofessional kitchen faucet, which debuted at KBIS along with the brand’s existing semipro faucets. The faucets have a spray head and pull-down hose.

Mixed-Metal Finishes on a Single Faucet
Mixing metals — pairing brass pulls on your kitchen cabinets with a chrome faucet at the kitchen sink, for example — has been trending in home design for some time now. In fact, the majority of renovating homeowners (54 percent) mix metal finishes for fixtures and hardware as part of their kitchen remodels, according to the 2019 U.S. Houzz Kitchen Trends study.
This year some manufacturers at KBIS took the trend a step further by mixing metals on a single faucet. This photo shows Moen’s Nio faucet in matte black. It comes with a matte black handle and also includes an alternate handle in a brushed gold finish (shown in this photo). Additional finishes are chrome, stainless steel and, appearing later this year, black stainless steel.
