What's New ~ Kohler

Once again, no one has asked for advice about their home. Hmmm... I'm beginning to think either everyone has their home projects under control, or maybe no one is reading my blog, or folks are too embarrassed to ask. Well folks, the invitation still stands for advice on a specific issue in your home or any interior design question you may have so Monday's Method will live on.

If you do read my blog, you know that I have substituted new products on the market for Monday's Method. Today, we look at Kohler bath. I have chosen a few of their products that I really enjoyed. At the top is one of Kohler's new rain showers. The collection is called Rainhead. They sound fabulous. Here is Kohler's description:

"Innovative technology and great design combine to create a powerful, thoroughly drenching shower experience. KOHLER® Rainheads feature Katalyst™ technology, a revolutionary air induction system that intensifies water's rinsing ability and makes each drop feel bigger and perform better. Available in three styles and a range of sizes and finishes, solid brass rainheads, with enhanced nozzle configurations, deliver complete, even coverage."

Wow ~ making water more efficient ~ I'm up for that. Now onto to bathtubs. Below is one in the series Cast Iron BubbleMassage Baths. This tub sounds heavenly. Here's what Kohler says about them...


"Thousands of bubbles and durable, beautiful KOHLER® Cast Iron come together for the first time in four new BubbleMassage baths. Personalize your bathing experience with 18 levels of adjustability, Zones of Control and optional chromatherapy. The 360-degree staggered airjet design, along with targeted foot and lumbar airjets, delivers a full-body massage." Sign me up!

This is one of the new Karbon Lavatory Faucets. This design is brilliant. I love the versatility of water spray (type and angle). The appearance is so sleek and elegant. I can see specifying these in my designs. Here's how they describe this series:

"With two pivoting joints, the Karbon articulating bathroom lavatory faucet lets you put water exactly where you want it as you shave, wash your hands or rinse the basin. This multifunction sprayhead offers a gentle spray for grooming and a more forceful spray for cleaning. Available as a wall- or deck-mount faucet and in a variety of finishes, the faucet is WaterSense labeled and can save up to 14,700 gallons of water each year compared to faucets with standard aerators."


I love this vanity. It would solve problems for storage without a lot of mass in small bathrooms. I also like the wide counter that allows for items to be placed (e.g. soap dispenser, votive). This is part of the Persuade Collection. This one in the Petite Vanity with these specifics:

"Persuade petite vanity in Mantle with Persuade Curv integrated lavatory in Almond and Forté widespread lavatory faucet with sculpted lever handles in Vibrant® Brushed Nickel."


This is a wonderful and elegant design for those with children. A section of the cabinet may be locked to store medicines, etc. that little hands shouldn't be able to get to. They call this their Lockbox (go figure). "Keep personal items and medications safe with the rust- and chip-free Lockbox. Easy to add to existing 20" recessed or wall-mount mirrors, the Lockbox comes with two folding keys so the cabinet door can be closed with the key in the lock." Ok, if you do have unsafe items in there, take the key out :)


I am a sucker for shiny silver and sleek so this faucet really caught my eye. This is one in Kohler's new Stance line. I love the way it is contemporary but not harsh. There is lovely fluidity to the lines versus hard angles. Just my style. Here is what they say:

"A definitive expression of contemporary design, the Stance faucet collection asserts itself with strong, architectural lines. Featuring refined angles and edges, the faucet collection offers a striking design statement for modern living spaces. Lavatory faucets with water-saving aerators, bath fillers and high-performance showering components let you create a coordinated, modern bathroom."


Here is another new faucet line. This one, as with the Rainhead, is eco-friendly without compromising performance. This is one of the Insights Faucets with Hybrid Energy System. "Introducing the world's first touchless faucet to last 30 years. Insight faucets with the Hybrid energy system combine adaptive infrared technology with regenerative power to perform for decades to come. No maintenance. No batteries. No hassles."


Last but not least ~ here is a sample of the Kallos™ Spun Glass Undercounter Lavatory Collection. You all know my love of glass so this one is sheer beauty to me. The prisms would sparkle at me every morning and I would sparkle right back. Here's how Kohler describes this series:

"With the look of fine cut glass, the Kallos lavatory marries chic undercounter style and traditional artistry. Thoughtfully designed to conceal items stored beneath the lavatory, Kallos reflects light and color in captivating patterns. Ideal for bathroom settings, glass is exceptionally durable and quick-cleaning." Quick cleaning! That is just one of the perks of glass.

What I really like about some of these new introductions it the fact that they are eco-friendly and have safety in mind. That is how all design/product companies need to be thinking in my opinion.
