October is Kitchen & Bath Month — time to give the two hardest-working spaces in your home a fresh look. From morning chaos to evening wind-downs, kitchens and baths set the tone for daily life. This year's top surface trends — Restorative Retreats, Coastal Luxe, Moody Mid-Century and Hidden Gems — blend style, performance and practicality. Think spa-worthy bathrooms, bright and airy kitchens, bold retro vibes and clever small-space statements. Here are four ways to make everyday living feel extraordinary.

1. Restorative Retreats

Turn your bathroom into a serene sanctuary with Japanese-inspired design. Clean lines, soft neutrals and warm wood tones create balance and calm. Wetwall™ Waterproof Wall Panels bring spa-worthy veining and textures to showers, bath surrounds or accent walls — no demolition required. Style meets function in every corner.

2. Coastal Luxe

Light, airy and effortlessly chic. Scandinavian simplicity meets coastal vibes in bright kitchens with multifunctional islands, fluted details and soft curves. Wilsonart^® Quartz designs like Glencoe, Marathi Marble and Bregava offer a stunning alternative to Taj Mahal quartzite, providing the elegance of natural stone with nonporous, low-maintenance durability. Everyday luxury has never been easier.

3. Moody Mid-Century

Deep tones, bold shapes and layered textures bring retro sophistication to modern life. LUJO^® TFL from Wilsonart adds wood-inspired finishes and luxury matte textures to cabinetry and wall panels — melding mid-century style with contemporary durability. Entertain, relax, repeat.

4. Hidden Gems

Small spaces, big impact. Jewel-toned pantries, tucked-away bars and clever storage nooks shine with Traceless™ by Wilsonart. Its ultra-matte, fingerprint-resistant finish and velvet-touch feel bring bold style and effortless performance to compact spaces, turning them into stylish, functional showpieces.

This Kitchen & Bath Month, these four trends show that kitchens and baths can be more than just workhorses, they can be statement spaces. With surfaces that balance performance and beauty, they invite fresh ideas for creating rooms that truly shine.
