Description

<p>Welcome to <em>Home Design Chat with Nancy</em>, where we tell you the truth about what’s happening in the design world—what’s worth your money… and what’s just taking up space.</p><p>Today, I’m going talk about some of the biggest product trends from the Kitchen &amp; Bath Industry Show 2026—in Orlando, Florida.</p><p>This kitchen show is not open to the public but there are several ways to actually see the products without going. Or you could just listen to me. I am going to give you my honest opinion of some items.</p><p>Let’s get into it.  </p><ul><li>Workstation Sinks</li><li>Rev-a-shelf cabinet accessories</li><li>Open Shelving in kitchens</li><li>Charging Countertops</li><li>Kohler Dekoda monitoring device</li><li>Free standing tubs</li></ul><p>While innovation is exciting…The smartest designs are still the simplest ones.</p><p>So before you jump on any of these trends, ask yourself:</p><ul><li>Will I use this every day?   Workstation sinks, large cooktops and ranges</li><li>Does it simplify my life—or complicate it? Are you confused with technology</li><li>And most importantly… is it worth the cost?  We have talked about the ROI before.  Do your homework</li></ul><p>Because good design isn’t about having more. It’s about having what actually works.</p><p>If you’re planning on a<strong> renovation</strong>, I would definitely be happy to work with you. You can email me anytime at <strong>[email protected]</strong>—I’d love to hear from you.</p>
