KBIS 2026 Trends

KBIS 2026 | Setting Trends for the Year

KBIS 2026 delivered an inspiring look at where kitchen and bath design is heading — and decorative hardware is playing a leading role. From vibrant color palettes to refined mixed finishes and tactile textures, this year’s show confirmed that hardware is no longer an afterthought. It’s a defining design element.

Here are the four major decorative hardware trends we’re seeing emerge.

1. 
Bold and Lively Colors

Color was embraced, with bright tones featured prominently in paint, tiles and cabinetry. Wallpapers had bold patterns and colors.

Many vendors were displaying vibrant color combinations, which was the inspiration for our Studio Remix  collection. 

These pulls are available in popular mixed finish combinations that add a striking visual to designs.





2.
Add Dimension with Texture

Texture was everywhere — and it’s influencing hardware design in a big way.

Cabinet hardware featuring fluting, knurling, hammered detailing, and grooved elements was prominent across displays . 

Beyond the hardware itself, we saw decorative metal mesh inlays and rattan/caning inserts incorporated into cabinetry.

Our new collection coming this spring., Cannelee, features fluted knobs and pulls adding depth and style to a space.





3.
Classic Finishes

Classic finishes have stood the test of time for a reason and are not going anywhere.

Brushed Nickel and Modern Brushed Gold continue to lead the market and anchor our new traditional collection, Emerling, available in a pull, knob, and coordinating cup pull. 

These popular finishes also extend into our new backplate collections, Galloway and Statler, designed to complement a wide range of cabinetry styles.

KBIS 2026 reinforced the growing influence of decorative hardware in shaping the overall aesthetic of a space. Designers are selecting hardware earlier in the process, using it to guide finish selection, material contrast, and visual rhythm.

For Berenson, these trends align with our commitment to offering more designs, broader finish selections, and dimensional detailing that supports both bold expression and timeless application. See What's New!
