Abode, award-winning designer and distributor of market leading kitchen sinks and taps, bathroom taps, and showering solutions reflects on a triumphant return to Kbb Birmingham 2026, as Stand P80 was overflowing with UK customers that came to explore the company’s brand-new boiling water tap collection, product designs, and design finishes for the Traditional, Scandi/Japandi, Contemporary, and Personalised kitchen space.

All products throughout the four trend-focused areas were curated by Abode, with the sole aim of illustrating how easy it is to create seamless product pairings from the same brand, no matter the size or style of kitchen. From exclusive display opportunities, product demonstrations of the latest innovations, and company resources regarding the Accumulate rewards programme, the Abode Sales Team remain inspired by the significant level of brand engagement from beginning to end.

Leanne Stansfield, Digital & Marketing Director at Abode says, “The stand was designed around four influential style trends with different product pairings helping to showcase how full design solutions can be crafted with Abode to serve real needs in the kitchen and bathroom.

“Visitors also got to experience the complete relaunch of our boiling water tap collection, which introduced our next generation PB3X boiler and five new tap designs including Persona, Arkitect, Oxbury, Organico, and Scandi-X. In fact, early feedback has identified our new Persona Boiling Water Tap as setting the standard for customisable tap design, as showgoers appreciated how Persona can respond to current style trends using the broad range of finishes and interchangeable handle packs on offer.

“Furthermore, the compact nature of PB3X was well-received by customers wanting to pair a boiling water tap with traditional Belfast sink as combined, they can accommodate a standard 60mm base unit with storage to spare!”

From sink to tap and shower to basin, here’s what visitors got to experience from Abode at Kbb 2026:

TRADITIONAL – The new classically-styled Abode Oxbury boiling water tap was showcased in Antique Brass alongside a range of Oxbury mixer taps showing two brand-new finishes for the classic kitchen space; Dark Bronze, a dark brown metallic with ultra-matt surface texture, and Polished Nickel, which provides a chic alternative to contemporary chrome. Paired with a range of Classically ceramic sinks throughout, models included Abode’s signature Belfast Sink, as well as Sandon in several bowl variants so customers could sample traditional sinks and taps that combine British design with modern-day convenience.

PERSONALISATION – Customers got up close and personal with the new Persona boiling water tap and Ornate mixer tap ranges, which are designed with fluted dual lever handles and were displayed with Abode’s reversible Optima Belfast sink in new Taupe Grey colour, which is a fluted surface on one side, and smooth on the other. Offering customers a fresh way to introduce vertical grooves across the sinks and taps, all Abode sinks were shown with paired accessories, and matching wastes and overflows in complementary finishes.

CONTEMPORARY – Abode unveiled the new Arkitect boiling & filtered water tap with bold, sculptural form, and innovative two-stage safety handle for secure boiling water control. Featuring a unique cogwheel design, Arkitect was shown in the company’s new Gunmetal finish and paired with a KOTO PVD Black sink. Coupled with the new LINARO granite sink collection in three new colourways – Pure Black, Matt White, and Grey – the contemporary room set was the place to go for of-the-moment sinks and taps. Abode also previewed the Arkitect Flex Pro Spray in Matt Black, which is due to be released later in the year and features a professional-style kitchen tap with pull around functionality and boiling & filtered water functionality.

SCANDI/JAPANDI – Exuding the warmth of Nordic-inspired design with Japanese-style minimalism, visitors in Scandi/Japandi welcomed the launch of Organico, a modern boiling water tap with real Beechwood handles, which is also available with filtered cold water on demand. The company’s award-winning boiling water tap, Scandi-X, also made an appearance to reveal solid metal levers and advanced boiler technology for the first time, alongside the Synchronist sink collection and accessories.

BATHROOMS – Abode presented a dedicated bathroom roomset showing products from the FOCUS 60 collection like its award-winning CAVA and IOX basins, quality brassware in new Gunmetal finish, UNO showering solutions, and complementary mirrors and accessories. This area was supported by bathroom distribution partner, PJH, and incorporated a colourful vanity unit and freestanding bath with Fibo UK panels.
