Toronto, ON (July 8, 2026) – Kitchen + Bath Canada (KBC Expo) announced today that “Naturally” is the theme and creative initiative that will shape the look, feel and experience of the 2026 event. Inspired by natural materials, texture, movement, light and living, “Naturally” reflects many of the design influences shaping today’s kitchen and bath industry. The theme will be expressed through selected elements of the event, including feature environments, networking spaces, and Centre Stage sponsored by Monogram, the show’s destination for thought leadership and educational programming.
Produced by Emerald, the team behind KBIS (Kitchen & Bath Industry Show) and developed in partnership with the National Kitchen & Bath Association and its Canadian chapters, KBC Expo is designed specifically for the Canadian market, bringing together education, product discovery, networking and experiences that reflect the industry’s unique character and creativity. “Naturally” adds another layer to the event by creating a cohesive narrative that connects key moments throughout the show while celebrating Canadian craftsmanship, innovation and design.
Exhibitors are invited to interpret “Naturally” in ways that are authentic to their brands, whether through product introductions, booth design, materials, storytelling or a simple design detail. Participation is entirely optional, with the initiative intended to inspire rather than prescribe.
“The best live events create an impression that stays with people long after they leave the show floor,” said Jason McGraw, group vice president, KBC Expo. “Naturally gives us another way to create that connection by bringing greater cohesion to the event while celebrating the creativity, craftsmanship and innovation that define Canada’s kitchen and bath industry. It’s designed to inspire exhibitors and attendees alike while giving every brand the freedom to interpret the concept in a way that feels authentic to them.”
The initiative reflects many of the trends influencing contemporary kitchen and bath design, from the growing use of natural materials and organic forms to an increased focus on wellness, craftsmanship and connection to nature. Rather than defining a single aesthetic, “Naturally” provides a creative backdrop that enhances the overall event while allowing exhibitors to showcase their own distinctive brands, products and stories.
Registration is open for KBC Expo 2026, which will take place November 11–12 at the Toronto Congress Centre. Additional details on programming, special features and exhibitor participation will be announced in the coming months.
