What’s Next in Kitchen & Bath | Innovations from KBIS

While the lights may have dimmed on the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) 2025 in Las Vegas, the energy it sparked is still buzzing. From the hum of conversation on the show floor to the texture of hand-carved stone tubs and the glow of sustainability-driven finishes, this year’s show wasn’t just a display—it was a sensory experience. And now, those ideas are making their way into homes across the country, shaping how we live, cook, unwind and connect.

“Events like KBIS allow us to connect with designers, builders and homeowners who are shaping the future of kitchen and bath design,” said Caroline Danielson, Director of Showrooms and Ferguson Home. “Now the focus turns to implementation—bringing these ideas to life in homes across the country.”

Here’s a look at the top trends that are already defining 2025—and where they’re heading next:

Organic Warmth

Kitchens and baths embrace a shift from stark, cool tones to warmer, nature-inspired hues. Earthy neutrals like taupe, terracotta and soft greens dominate. This return to organic warmth extends beyond color — brands integrate natural textures, soft lighting and handcrafted details to create comforting, restorative spaces.

  • Materials with Meaning: The return to warmth is visible in every detail. Kichler’s handwoven jute and rattan fixtures introduce a sense of grounded elegance. At the same time, Kohler’s sculptural Landshapes vanities, crafted from textured, nature-inspired materials, reflect a deeper narrative of the home as a place of refuge, reflection and quiet luxury.
  • Nurturing Lighting: Lighting has become essential in transforming kitchens and bathrooms into cozy retreats. Every element enhances the atmosphere, from thoughtfully designed fixtures to the subtle illumination within appliances.

Performance Meets Purpose with Next-Gen Materials

Consumers are no longer choosing between luxury and sustainability — they expect both. The materials of 2025 and beyond aren’t just beautiful—they’re built for sustainability, durability and wellness.

  • Innovative & Sustainable Refrigeration: JennAir’s SlimTech™ vacuum insulation helps reduce energy use while maximizing storage.
  • Clean Water at the Center: Moen’s Flo Smart Water Monitor and Whole Home Water Filtration are part of a growing demand for health-forward plumbing.
  • Luxury that Lasts: Monogram’s sustainably sourced metal finishes and panel-ready refrigerators offer elevated aesthetics with an eye on environmental impact.

Wellness Tech Will Drive the Next Wave of Design

This year’s breakthroughs in wellness-driven tech are just the beginning. Smart homes are evolving to anticipate and support our daily rituals.

  • Voice-Controlled Showers & AI Appliances: Expect rapid adoption of voice and app-controlled solutions that make kitchens and baths more responsive and restorative.
  • Wireless Charging, Seamlessly Integrated: Innovations like the James Martin Vanities, Cosentino and FreePower collaboration integrating wireless charging within Silestone quartz surfaces hint at a future where design and tech are genuinely seamless.

Personalization Is the Pinnacle of Luxury

In 2025, true luxury means designing around how you live—not just how things look.

  • Custom Finishes & Intuitive Features: From chrome-infused ranges to proximity-activated wine fridges, product designers are reimagining everyday tasks as opportunities for delight.
  • Heritage Craftsmanship in Modern Form: Kallista’s metal-and-stone faucet collections and Kohler’s hydrotherapy tubs bring wellness and artistry into personal rituals.

Looking Ahead: Bringing Innovation Home

The ideas launched at KBIS 2025 are now fueling real projects. For the designer working with discerning clients or a homeowner exploring their next renovation, the themes from this year’s show offer a roadmap to what’s possible.
