BY ROBERT P. MADER OF CONTRACTOR'S STAFF You're not just washing your hands or a dish, you're living a lifestyle and plumbing manufacturers are happy to help. When the home builders met in Orlando, Fla., in January, their show was all about function (April, pg. 39) . The Kitchen & Bath Industry Show , on the contrary, is all about pizzazz. While the show covers everything one will find in a kitchen or bathroom, the 60,000 designers, contractors and remodelors at this year's show in April in Chicago saw plenty of plumbing products . High-tech plumbing Kohler has entered the programmable shower market with its DTV custom showering system . Featuring the DTV Digital Interface and DTV Digital Shower Valve , the product offers customized shower experiences with multiple showerheads, hand showers and body sprays. The DTV's pre- set hydrotherapy experiences include up, down and wave massage, as well as temperature therapy that can ...

Not many people take into consideration how dangerous the bathroom can be. Slippery tiles , hard objects and hot water can make a bathroom one of the most dangerous rooms in the home. Rubber-backed rugs and bath mats reduce the chances of slipping and also offer additional comfort . However, these need to be aired after bathing to prevent mildew or mould. So, when the time comes to renovate or improve your bathroom, consider adding features that make it safer and more accessible.    1. Install anti-slip flooring With most bathrooms being tiled from floor to ceiling, accidents are a common cause of bath injuries. When ceramic tiles get wet you can easily slip and lose your footing, especially when climbing out of a bath or shower. Rather than installing large glossy tiles in a bathroom, look for tiles that have a slightly textured surface - more grip than slip. If you have your heart set on gloss, opt for smaller tiles that have more grout lines, a...

If you’re without a window in your below-ground bathroom, keep water damage at bay by installing a fan and tiling the walls from floor to ceiling. Photography by Stacey Brandford 2 Problem: Our main floor powder room is teeny tiny and feels more like a closet. Make that small space shine like a diamond with a few glam updates. Paper the walls in a fun pattern, go bold with artwork and add some shine with brass scones. It will feel less like a closet and more like stepping inside a jewelry box!

Yesterday I attended the International Builder Show (IBS) and National Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) both taking place simultaneously during Design & Construction Week at the Las Vegas Convention Center , and let me tell you it’s HUGE. There are tens of thousands of people in the industry that attend. All the major brands you can think of are set up booths, it’s a once a year opportunity to see all the new design and home improvement products and also meet with the reps that work for these major brands and I was SO excited to be there. I also attended an influencer presentation on design trends which was insightful (see notes at the bottom). I mingled and photographed what I saw and I was like a kid in a candy store. I’d rather fondle tile and faucets and flooring and cabinets than any other products in the world! I had a press pass and took a ton of pictures so I could share them with you. First here’s a peek at some emerging trends based on products and displays se...
