And I think that\u2019s so important if you\u2019re going to keep moving design forward, especially in the home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Webber agrees: \u201cFor the award-winning projects, the priority seemed to be highly personalized spaces \u2013 whether it be a really impactful wallpaper or antique pieces. Stepping away from the standard commodity style kitchens and baths won the day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe submissions reveal a clear shift: people are prioritizing comfort, functionality and seamless integration with the rest of their home,\u201d adds Price. \u201cKitchens and bathrooms are no longer just task-oriented spaces \u2013 they\u2019re personal, intentional and often luxurious.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She also says: \u201cIn kitchens, there\u2019s a strong focus on multifunctionality \u2013 spaces that support cooking, entertaining, working and gathering.

I see a lot of [designers] using less man-made materials and going back to using woods, natural stone, quartzite and marble.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Klein points to the use of metals as an inspiring element. \u201cMetal finishes, metal hardware\u2026. There were a lot of metal freestanding shelves, and integration of metal into cabinetry was really on point this year \u2013 I think it was for kitchens and for bathrooms, too. The use of the mixed metals is definitely a trend that I think is here to stay.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kitchenbathdesign.com\/2025-best-master-bathroom-over-125000-gold\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"198042\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/28174122\/31750_002-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-198042 lazyload\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1799\" data-id=\"198042\" src=\"https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/28174122\/31750_002-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-198042 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/28174122\/31750_002-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/28174122\/31750_002-1-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/28174122\/31750_002-1-800x1200.jpg 800w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/28174122\/31750_002-1-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/28174122\/31750_002-1-1025x1536.jpg 1025w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/28174122\/31750_002-1-1170x1754.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/28174122\/31750_002-1-585x877.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kitchenbathdesign.com\/2025-best-master-bathroom-75000-125000-gold\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"198041\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/28174110\/Thomson-Residence-at-5305ESundownDr-41.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-198041 lazyload\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1799\" data-id=\"198041\" src=\"https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/28174110\/Thomson-Residence-at-5305ESundownDr-41.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-198041 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/28174110\/Thomson-Residence-at-5305ESundownDr-41.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/28174110\/Thomson-Residence-at-5305ESundownDr-41-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/28174110\/Thomson-Residence-at-5305ESundownDr-41-800x1200.jpg 800w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/28174110\/Thomson-Residence-at-5305ESundownDr-41-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/28174110\/Thomson-Residence-at-5305ESundownDr-41-1025x1536.jpg 1025w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/28174110\/Thomson-Residence-at-5305ESundownDr-41-1170x1754.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/28174110\/Thomson-Residence-at-5305ESundownDr-41-585x877.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">Gold winner, Best Master Bathroom Over $125,000 \u2013 Mark Cayen and Kevin Mullen of Empire Kitchen &amp; Bath, and Gold winner, Best Master Bath $75,000-$125,000 \u2013 Amy Klosterman and Michelle Jefferson of AB Design Elements<br><em>Photos: Eymeric Widling and Phil Johnson<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Anatomy of a Winner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what elements of a design award submission really catch a judge\u2019s eyes? <em>KBDN <\/em>asked the 2025 KBDA judging panel to weigh in on what makes a winning submission.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Photography and photo styling, many agreed, might just be the secret sauce that sets a great submission apart from an amazing submission. \u201cAs a small business owner, I am careful about how I spend money on marketing,\u201d Swanson explains. \u201cI rarely if ever spend money on advertising, I prioritize professional photography over all else in terms of promoting my design and business.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When asked what makes good photography, Swanson immediately points to lighting. \u201cWe saw so many submissions with the overhead recessed can lighting on \u2013 it really detracts. A good photographer is opening their aperture to allow light in; they are using blankets and other devices to block light from coming into the room. I have my best photo shoot days in overcast weather.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPhotography, lighting and staging play a critical role,&nbsp;especially in spaces that may lack bold colors or dramatic elements,\u201d adds Price. \u201cA strong visual presentation can elevate even the most understated design and make all the difference in how the space is perceived.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sherman looks for \u201ca true mastery of the aesthetic and the functional. I believe you cannot have one without the other,\u201d which translates into \u201can understanding of good design as it relates to human-centered design. Things can be beautiful, but how will people function within the spaces? Human scale is very important to the metal aspect of living in a space.
