Designing a dream kitchen or bath for homeowners in Cincinnati OH requires balancing form with function. A recurring request among homeowners in Cincinnati OH is to design spaces that make everyday tasks easier and more enjoyable to perform while making a space look and feel extraordinarily special. Many of the trends at KBIS are reflected in the desires of homeowners in Cincinnati OH who want innovative designs that maximize functionality, ease of use, and efficiency. 

Open floor plans remain a top trend in Cincinnati OH. Almost three in four homeowners love the idea of opening up their kitchens to other rooms in their home. Given the fact that many homeowners in Cincinnati OH continue to work either full-time or part-time from their home, open floor plans increase the functionality of the home, providing dedicated spaces for working, studying, entertaining, relaxing and spending quality family time.

A recent national survey confirms this trend, finding that half of homeowners want to increase their kitchen space to accommodate an extra-large refrigerator. Signature Kitchens responded to this trend at KBIS by showcasing an industry first 48-inch French door refrigerator. 

Appliance technology advancements were also front and center at KBIS. Featured were counter-deep refrigerators that serve to maximize space without compromising performance. Refrigerators have gotten much more efficient, helping to preserve food for longer periods of time and several newer models feature mirror-coated glass panels that allow you to peer inside the fridge without opening the door.
