EVANSTON, Ill.--()--Kitchen & Bath Design News, the industry’s leading magazine for kitchen and bath professionals, has announced the winners of its 2018 Kitchen & Bath Design Awards.

The winning projects showcase today’s hot trends in kitchen and bath design, including asymmetrical elements, layered patterns/textures, creative use of tile, dramatic lighting fixtures, interesting ceiling treatments and a move away from the all-white kitchen.

Thirty winners in 10 categories were picked by panel of top designers: Kimball Derrick, Stephanie Frees, Christopher Grubb, Mikal Otten, Peter Salerno and Jean Stoffer.

“As the independent voice of the industry, we believe great design needs to be celebrated, regardless of brand or affiliation,” stated Paul DeGrandis, KBDN’s publisher.

“We’re excited to show what’s possible when kitchen and bath designers tap into their creative potential, melding form and function, color and texture, and all of the details that make a space come to life,” added KBDN editor Janice Costa.
