KBIS 2025 Trends

This year, KBIS featured 650+ exhibitors who showcased their cutting-edge products ranging from bathroom faucets to kitchen appliances. Browse through to see what we are predicting will be the biggest upcoming trends in the kitchen and bathroom space in 2025.

A refrigerator with a pop of color makes much more of an impact than a stainless steel appliance. Smeg showcased an array of colorful refrigerators that will be a top trend this year and will create a dramatic, eye-catching moment in any kitchen space.

The idea of colorful bathtubs was on full display at KBIS. At House of Rohl you can select from over 200 custom colors, in matte and gloss finishes, for your one-of-a-kind bathroom look.

Emtek features beautiful, versatile and quality door hardware across many different design styles. They feature levers and knobs made with marble and stone finishes in green, white and red (Rosso). This unique finish elevates the design of this functional and essential home product. Will Zhang, director of design and product innovation at Emtek, explains that his goal is to “create inspiring door hardware that compliments and personalizes a home.”

With an ever-growing desire for at-home wellness features, brands have created at-home home saunas and cold tubs to allow homeowners that ability to use these features in their own space. Christine Davis from Kohler said, “everyone wants self-care and therapy and what better way than to do it at home.”

Café displayed a double dishwasher drawer that allows for less bending as you fill the dishwasher and it has been innovated to fit bigger cups and silverware, meeting the needs of today's user.

James Martin Vanities worked in collaboration with Cosentino and FreePower to create a vanity that features a wireless charging station. Innovations like these solve multiple problems at once, while homeowners do not have to sacrifice on design and look.

Another new bathroom vanity feature, from James Martin Vanities, was a built-in outlet under the sink. This amenity makes getting ready easier and quicker and frees up counterspace.

GE’s Monogram booth, designed by Richard T. Anuszkiewicz, was a spectacular space that featured luxury appliances that will change the design space for years to come. One to note is a built-in refrigerator drawer conveniently located in the bathroom vanity. This can be used to house skincare products, medication, drinks, etc. Spa-like bathrooms will continue to rise as homeowners look to make their home space a wellness retreat, and integrating a refrigerator into the bathroom furthers its ability to work as a haven and problem-solve for the next generation’s quiet luxuries. Caroline Danielson, director of showrooms at Ferguson Home, further explains, “it’s a luxury to have these additional appliances in a space that typically doesn’t have them.”

Kohler went all-in on red marble with this statement-making stone bathtub. Red marble will continue to grow as designers integrate this stunning stone into countertops, tubs, flooring and more.

Personalization was a key theme throughout KBIS and can be seen in this sink accessory by Ruvati. This particular accessory, a bottle drying rack, takes the hassle out of bottle care and maintenance. With many different sink accessories that meet a wide variety of needs, brands are realizing the value of making mundane, daily tasks a bit easier and more efficient.

Miele displayed their new MasterCool line, which has many interesting features, including integrated cameras inside of the refrigerator. This allows homeowners to view the contents of the fridge from the Miele@Home app. “We’re excited to offer new innovation in refrigeration that helps consumers keep track of what they currently have on-hand so that waste is further limited,” says Dirk Sappok, Director of Category Management, Kitchen Appliances.

The '80s design trend of black tubs and toilets is back! There will be a noticeable shift away from the all-white bathrooms of the past as homeowners look to bring color back into the bathroom space. For an elevated design, consider a black bathtub, sink or toilet, like the ones seen at TOTO.

As reported by Pinterest Predicts: 2025, the Sea Witchery trend dives into sea-inspired lifestyle trends, and this shell-shaped vessel sink by Ruvati falls right into that trend prediction.

At True, homeowners can select a custom refrigerator color and custom handles, making this essential home appliance completely unique and personal to your tastes.

A big takeaway from KBIS 2025 is that more homeowners want to see color in unexpected places, even the kitchen and bathroom sink (like these sinks from Ruvati). A home that is colorful and features more personal touches will be a growing trend.

At the Monogram booth, the bathroom space featured a curved or 'pill-shaped' shower design that is a more modern and appealing take on a 90-degree angle wall. Curved furniture and accessories are an ever-growing trend, and this is now expanding into areas like light fixtures and even shower stalls.

Artistic Tile displayed some beautiful mosaics that were reminiscent of art installations. These intricate mosaics will take a kitchen or bathroom space to the next level and are a more appealing alternative to the overused white subway tile.

Design elements with texture or sensory components will continue to see growth in the coming years. Caesarstone debuted a leather and wood wall application, which serves as a great example of new ways brands will be bringing textured elements into the home in unexpected ways.

Kichler debuted new light fixtures that are an update on the traditional style. A more sleek and less ornate design, combined with integrated LED lighting - for sustainability - the lighting trends of the future are timeless and eco-friendly.

The sage green hues could be seen throughout the show, including this ceramic square tile at the Kohler booth. This barely-there green hue, that could be considered a neutral, provides just the right amount of color without being too overwhelming.

We have seen a growing trend of fluted wood vanities and accent walls and now this textural element is moving into stone selections. Be on the lookout for fluted stone accent walls, bathtubs and vanity applications.

Customization continues to grow and be an important feature in home design, and this idea could be seen across KBIS 2025. As an example of this, GE displayed a microwave with a braille application. A desire for appliances that meet the individual and specific needs of the owner will continue to grow and become an important factor when making these purchases.

Brands recognize the health benefits from cold plunging and Empava showcased an indoor hot/cold plunge tub that has a range of 37.4 degrees Fahrenheit to 113 degrees Fahrenheit. This allows for cold or warm water therapy to be done from the privacy and convenience of your own bathroom.

Be on the lookout for sage green kitchen cabinets to take over the kitchen space in 2025. Benjamin Moore displayed this pleasing hue at their booth where the cabinets were painted Rosepine 461.

There has been a dramatic shift away from gray hues moving to more creamy and beige tones over the past several years. "[We are] going away from the greiges and more into the creams," explains Tyler Thompson from Caesarstone.

A growing trend among homeowners is a desire for a well-equipped outdoor kitchen that has all the conveniences of the indoor kitchen. Designer Daniel Germani says, "we are trying to treat the outdoors the same way we would treat the indoors." He also explains that there is a need to "move away from the concept that being outside is 'dude.'"
