Kohler has reaffirmed its commitment to design excellence and innovation as the exclusive kitchen and bathroom plumbing partner of the Kips Bay Decorator Show House Palm Beach edition. The 2026 event marks a milestone, with the Show House taking over two properties for the first time, featuring Kohler products throughout both homes.
Among the highlights are several new introductions, including the Kohler C2 Sauna, the Aquifer 4-in-1 beverage tap and the Synthos workstation sink, demonstrating the brand's focus on wellness, functionality and contemporary design.

"It's an honour to collaborate with such a talented group of designers and witness the thoughtful ways they incorporate Kohler products into their spaces," said Brittany Canniff Kimball, Senior Marketing Manager, Brand Partnerships & Designers at Kohler. "Seeing their creative visions come to life is inspiring, and we are proud to continue our partnership with the Kips Bay Decorator Show House while supporting vital fundraising efforts for young people in New York and Palm Beach."
Designers interpret Kohler across indoor and outdoor spaces
Eleven design studios selected design-led Kohler products for their spaces. Robert Bell and Firefinish Interiors each created outdoor sanctuaries for relaxation and reflection. Bell integrated the Kohler C2 outdoor sauna as a three-person retreat, while Firefinish Interiors specified the Vibrant Brushed Bronze finish from the Components Mix & Match tap collection for a cabana bathroom and outdoor shower area.
The two kitchens, designed by Amy Young Design and Yarn Design Associates, were conceived as social spaces for gathering and entertaining. Both showcase new products such as the Billet touchless pull-down tap and the Aquifer 4-in-1 beverage tap, which delivers ambient, chilled, near-boiling or sparkling water at the touch of a button. While Amy Young Design opted for a dramatic Matte Black finish, Yarn Design Associates selected Kohler's Moderne Brushed Brass for a more luxurious expression.
In the primary bathroom and adjoining dressing room, Eilyn Jimenez of Sire Design drew inspiration from 17th- and 18th-century traditions, using the Artifacts Mix & Match tap collection in Vibrant French Gold alongside the Memoirs Stately toilet in the soft Biscuit colourway.
Kohler's distinctive finishes feature throughout both houses, including the Dune finish on the Memoirs Stately console and toilet in Danielle Balanis' bathroom, the Translucent Doe finish on the Kallos glass washbasin by Tartan & Toile, and the shimmering Translucent Dew finish on the Salute glass vessel basin used by Alexander Interiors.

"Kohler is integral to the success of the Show House, and we are proud to continue our partnership with the brand," said Nazira Handal, Director of Special Events and Corporate Partnerships at the Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club. "Kohler continues to push the boundaries of design excellence while helping us raise vital funds to support more than 11,000 young people."
Since 1973, the Kips Bay Decorator Show House has raised millions of dollars for after-school and enrichment programmes, with editions now held in New York and Dallas in addition to Palm Beach. The Palm Beach Show House runs until 24 March 2026, with ticket prices starting at $50, supporting the Boys & Girls Club of Palm Beach County.
