KBIS 2025: Kitchen & Bath Trends & Innovations
The Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS), hosted by the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA), is the most anticipated event of the year for designers, manufacturers, and industry professionals. Held at the Las Vegas Convention Center from February 25-27, 2025, the show featured cutting-edge innovations, new product launches, and expert insights that will shape kitchen and bath design for years to come.
As a sustainable interior designer and a passionate advocate for high-quality, functional, and beautiful spaces, I attended KBIS 2025 to stay ahead of industry trends. My goal? To bring fresh, innovative, and eco-friendly solutions to my clients at Go Green Fine Interiors (learn more about our services).
Let’s dive into the standout trends, must-see products, and key takeaways from this year’s show!
Starting with an Insider Tour
I kicked off KBIS 2025 with a 5-hour tour organized by the Interior Design Community (IDC)—an invaluable way to connect with fellow designers, especially first-time attendees. This guided experience took us through some of the most exciting exhibits, including cabinetry, countertops, shower stalls, bathtubs, vanities, lighting, and appliances. The tour also helped us navigate the massive four-building convention center, ensuring we didn’t miss any must-see innovations.
Top Trends in Kitchen & Bath Design
1. Smart Kitchens & Bathrooms
Technology continues to revolutionize kitchen and bath design, with AI-powered features making spaces more efficient, convenient, and luxurious.
Voice-Activated and AI-Integrated Appliances: Imagine a refrigerator that reminds you when groceries are running low or an oven that preheats itself based on your meal schedule.
Smart Toilets & Bidets: Some of the most talked-about products were the high-tech smart toilets featuring heated seats, ambient lighting, deodorizers, and even voice control. Some models felt like they had more buttons than my car!
Touchless Faucets & Fixtures: Brands like Kohler showcased motion-activated and voice-controlled faucets that reduce water waste and improve hygiene.
One of the best ways to future-proof your home is to design spaces that serve multiple purposes.
2. Sustainability & Eco-Friendly Materials
Sustainability remains at the forefront of design, with manufacturers prioritizing eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient solutions. Some key trends include:
Recycled & Reclaimed Materials: Countertops made from recycled glass and composite materials are gaining popularity for their durability and sustainability.
Water-Saving Fixtures: Low-flow showerheads and faucets help conserve water without sacrificing performance.
Low-VOC and Formaldehyde-Free Cabinetry: Healthy home design is on the rise, with brands like DeWils Custom Cabinetry leading the way in toxin-free, high-quality craftsmanship.
3. Luxury Design & Customization
Homeowners are seeking more personalization and luxury in their kitchens and baths. Customization is key, with high-end finishes, tailored storage solutions, and unique hardware options.
Integrated Appliances: One of the most exciting releases was the LG Zero Clearance Counter Depth Refrigerator, which seamlessly blends into cabinetry for a built-in look—no more awkward gaps!
Statement Vanities & Fixtures: Bold black and brass finishes dominated, adding drama and sophistication to modern spaces.
Multifunctional Storage: Pull-out shelves, hidden drawers, and corner storage solutions maximize efficiency while maintaining a sleek aesthetic.
As families grow or downsize, storage needs shift. Instead of adding bulky furniture, consider built-in storage to maximize space.
Best Booth Experience: DeWils Custom Cabinetry
If I had to pick a favorite exhibitor, it would be DeWils Custom Cabinetry. Their booth featured breathtaking kitchen and bath vignettes that highlighted impeccable craftsmanship, innovative storage solutions, and stunning finishes. As a designer, I’m always looking for brands that combine sustainability with luxury, and DeWils delivered on both fronts.
Discover DeWils Custom Cabinetry. Under-Stair Storage: Perfect for books, pantry overflow, or even a pet nook.
Best Educational Session: AI for Interior Designers
Beyond the stunning product displays, KBIS 2025 also offered a wealth of educational sessions through the Voices from the Industry conference. One of my favorites was “AI for Interior Designers,” which explored how artificial intelligence is transforming the design process.
Key takeaways:
AI tools can help generate floor plans, predict material costs, and visualize designs in real-time.
Designers can use AI to streamline workflows, improve efficiency, and enhance client presentations.
While AI is a powerful tool, it complements—rather than replaces—the creativity and expertise of professional designers.
