LOUISVILLE, Ky., Feb. 25, 2025 – CAFÉ™ fuels self-expression by showcasing its appliances in an immersive experience, “This Kitchen Looks Good on You” that redefines personalization and customization at the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) 2025. This week at the show, attendees will be treated to an experience that marries the worlds of high fashion and home, envisioning trends driving kitchen design for the coming year with an emphasis on color, customization and personal style. Complete with four runway-worthy interiors inspired by the seasons, this year’s CAFÉ booth encourages homeowners to curate their home just as they curate their closet.
CAFÉ is collaborating with Seasonal Color Analysis Expert Megan Tinkler from House of Colour to host four color analysis stations where attendees are invited to receive complimentary style recommendations on what colors best complement natural skin tone, eye color and hair color. Then, true to the “This Kitchen Looks Great on You” theme, they can visit the kitchen vignette that complements their personalized palette. The 2025 KBIS display merges fashion with home to encourage consumers to fully curate a lifestyle by revealing CAFÉ’s suite of customizable appliances in fashion-forward living scenarios. The seasonal vignettes embody the essence of the four seasons with appliances in four unique finishes and six hardware options -- a customizable category that CAFÉ pioneered in 2018.
- Winter Gala Pantry: Inspired by the decadent dark, moody hues that will return to fashion and interiors in 2025, the Winter Gala Pantry imagines transforming spaces beyond the kitchen for the ultimate entertainers. This elegant pantry centers around CAFÉ’s must-see line-up of customizable dishwashers in matte black with brushed brass hardware, like the CAFÉ™ CustomFit™ Stainless Steel Interior Smart Dishwasher with Ultra Wash Top Rack & Dual Convection Ultra Dry, winner of the 2024 TWICE VIP Awards and the 2024 Architectural Digest Great Design Awards.
- Spring Plaza: Drawing from the season’s energetic palette of bright colors, mixed patterns and textures, the Spring Plaza bursts to life and envisions new possibilities for refrigeration throughout the home. The vibrant environment will showcase five refrigerators from CAFÉ’s industry-leading portfolio in matte white with brushed bronze hardware, including the new CAFÉ™ Smart Counter-Depth 4-Door French-Door Refrigerator with Dual-Dispense AutoFill Pitcher and CAFÉ™ Smart Counter-Depth Quad-Door Refrigerator in Platinum Glass with Dual-Dispense AutoFill Pitcher.
- Summer Romance Kitchen: Ornamental and organic shapes, flowing lines, florals, and wood tones embrace romanticism to create a tranquil space that combines Art Nouveau influences with modern design. Taking cues from the driving trends of Milan Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2025 runway, the sophisticated and bohemian aesthetic of the Summer Romance Kitchen is matched by function with appliances like the CAFÉ™ 36” Built-In Touch Control Induction Cooktop, CAFÉ™ 30" Smart Built-In Convection French-Door Double Wall Oven, and new CAFÉ 30" Smart Five in One Oven with 120V Advantium® Technology in matte white with brushed brass hardware.
- Autumn Eve Kitchen: Featuring organic silhouettes that blend warm terracotta and rich berry tones, the Autumn Eve Kitchen is adorned with CAFÉ’s can’t-miss entertaining solutions in matte black like the undercounter CAFÉ™ Beverage Center with matte black hardware and CAFÉ™ 36" Smart Dual-Fuel Commercial-Style Range with brushed copper hardware. Blending traditional earth tones that radiate richness and luxury, this stunning kitchen is reminiscent of Milan’s Spring/Summer 2025 runway and expands on the sweet, vibrant aesthetic that inspires the entertaining season.
After the brand launched the Style Studio last year — a new initiative committed to solving design dilemmas from consumers — CAFÉ will feature a Style Studio kiosk that will help serve as a resource for kitchen design and offer material samples from paint to hardware in response to some of the most frequently-asked questions of the Style Studio. Additionally, attendees will have the opportunity to vote on their favorite color for a new, colored CAFÉ Specialty Drip Coffee Maker that will debut next year.
“CAFÉ believes that challenging the expectations of traditional design unlocks true self-expression.” said Erica Bovard, CAFÉ senior brand director. “This year’s KBIS display indulges in next-level personalization, inciting attainable creativity that empowers today’s consumer to live boldly and weave their personal style throughout all areas of the home. We are the brand that created customizable, mass-premium appliances, and we are committed to continuing to delight our owners with new features that make their kitchen feel like them.”
CAFÉ will feature also many friends of the brand throughout the booth, including Arteriors, Cosentino, Harlequin by Sanderson Design Group, Kohler, Mercury Mosaics, Rejuvenation, Sherwin-Williams, and Wellborn Cabinet.
