Showroom manager at Halcyon Interiors Graham Robinson shares his four highlights from the recent Kbb Birmingham exhibition

Halcyon Interiors | Four of my favourite things at Kbb 2024

There was certainly a great build up to this year’s KBB show in Birmingham, so I was excited to be going.

As always, there was lots to see, lots of details to look at, as well as loads of industry colleagues to speak to. Here I’ve picked some of my highlights from the show.

  1. Handle choice

There were lots of handles on displays and individual manufactures showing them too.

I particularly liked those from Furnipart, presented by LDL. The edge pull handles come in lots of colours and the wooden handles felt amazing to the touch.

  1. Kitchen resales

We have always commissioned the services of The Used Kitchen Company, but this year the message at the fore was selling clients existing kitchens, not just displays.

It has two-fold benefits not only improving your green credentials but also giving you more budget to play with for the new kitchen.

  1. Lighting use

The prominent accessory wall from Rotpunkt, with integrated lighting, was simple yet an effective solution with a huge number of panel options.

It could be used not only in the kitchen but in other rooms too, so it was great to transition from one area to another or used in bar situation.

 With increased number of vented hobs now available the need to for a practical task light above a hob is paramount.

The gesture controlled lighting range from Novy is a great solution – whether it be the pendant or the light shelf, illumination can be moved and even changed in colour temperature for the task in hand.

  1. Reinventing a classic

For something completely new we loved the new Era by Aga. They have reinvented a classic, with the cooker now fronted in glass and trimmed with chrome, and it looks stunning!

Sintered stone manufacturer Neolith has launched Calacatta Roma and Cappadocia Sunset, inspired by nature and classical architecture, and for use in kitchens or bathrooms walls, floors, in gardens or facades.

They belong to The New Classtone and Fusioncollections which interpret marble and natural stone, respectively, and boast Neolith’s antibacterial NeolEAT technology.

Inspired by Ancient Rome,  Calacatta Roma (pictured top) pays homage to Italian Carrara marble, with ochre and grey veins in a white background.

While the Cappadocia region, in central Turkey, with its rock formations formed by volcanoes and underground cities, has inspired Cappadocia Sunset (pictured below).

Just like all of Neolith’s surfaces, Calacatta Roma and Cappadocia Sunset are resistant to heat and atmospheric conditions, are 100% recyclable, and do not contain added quartz to their formulation.
