October is National Kitchen and Bath Month, a great time to reimagine two of the most essential living spaces in any home.

To kick off the month, and for a second year in a row, Colorado Homes & Lifestyles asked HighCraft Builders to identify our top kitchen and bath trends for the coming year.

Capsule-shaped tiles, vertical detailing, and grooved or fluted paneling, will make a bold statement in 2026.
“These elongated and ribbed elements create a sense of movement and visual rhythm, adding architectural interest to even the simplest surfaces,” says Jill Sanchez, Design Manager for HighCraft Builders. To slightly soften the look, she points to capsule tiles as a great option. “Because of their round edges, they temper the rigidity of straight lines while still feeling modern and structured.”
