2019 KBIS Trends: Matte Black and Satin Brass Finishes

Every year, the (KBIS) Kitchen & Bath Industry Show takes place in Las Vegas, Nevada where hundreds of leading brands put their newest, trend-setting designs on display for other exhibitors and thousands of attendees can network, exchange ideas, and draw inspiration from the expansive selection of the industry’s freshest concepts and designs.

This year, our Kingston Brass Team displayed the vast assortment of kitchen and ensembles and accessories that we have to offer and received the first-hand advantage of surveying the floor to gather up this year’s hottest trends within the industry.

Although there exists a variety of diversity within kitchen and bath appliances between different brands, one element that all brands essentially have in common are finishes. Throughout the weekend, it became clear that there were a few trending, popular finishes found amongst each exhibitor. The latest craze of 2019 appears to be the ever indulgent Matte Black, and Satin Brass finishes.

Matte Black

Matte black envelops a timeless, elegant appeal and serves as a striking, bold accent to home décor. When paired with subtle neutrals or natural colors, matte black provides a

stunning contrast and complementary element that ties together the room. Additionally, the matte color has the unique capability of embodying a true neutral tone that sets a moody theme that can either soften or harden the surrounding color scheme. Pair matte black with satin brass or rose gold for a sophisticated, classic spin on 80’s style, or incorporate it with a vibrant, rich green for a distinctive, refined look.

In addition to its sultry charm, the forgiving matte texture is smudge and fingerprint resistant, making it an ideal solution for the lifestyle of busy families. The stress of continuously needing to wipe down polished metal finishes and surfaces to maintain a fresh, unblemished appearance becomes a thing of the past when choosing a matte black finish.
