The Most Exciting New Building, Kitchen and Bath Products of 2025

Each year, the biggest events in the home products industry are the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) International Builders’ Show and the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS). These prestigious award shows aim to highlight and celebrate industry leaders for their innovative, sustainable, and stylish product designs. Read on to learn about all of this year’s winners and get the highlights to inspire your future home renovations.

This year’s winners are as follows:

KBIS Winners

KBIS Highlights

Eco-friendly tile

Made of landfill-bound leftovers from Kohler manufacturing processes, Landshapes Tile by Kohler WasteLAB x Daniel Arsham is as innovative as it is beautiful. Constructed from 80 percent recycled materials and available in various colors, this indoor tile may just be the future of all tile production.

Streamlined home sauna

Luxury and simplicity combine in the ALADDIN personal sauna by Effe Perfect Wellness. This sauna’s sophisticated design and premium materials effortlessly enhances any living space. Notable highlights of the product include a curved-edge bench, floating heater wrapped in anodized aluminum and mirrored fascia for an elevated home sauna experience.

Seamless sink design

The Vera Deluxe Workstation Kitchen Sink by TopZero effortlessly combines beauty and functionality. Made from marine-grade stainless steel and finished with a physical vapor deposition coating, it offers exceptional durability and scratch resistance. Its award-winning stylish features include LED-in-basin lighting and a sleek, seamless design. The sink also boasts a multi-level frame for cutting, washing and drying accessories, a built-in drawer organizer, and three installation options.

Double-duty plunge tub

Experience the ultimate in contrast therapy with the Hot/Cold Plunge Indoor Tub by EMPAVA. Designed with side-by-side tubs—one for hot soaks and the other for cold plunges—this spa-quality unit offers an 18-inch soaking depth, a 41.73-inch basin length and powerful circulating jets.

Home ice bath

Ice baths are all the rage right now, and the forthcoming Kohler X Remedy Place Ice Bath would make a lovely addition for anyone interested in having their own wellness space at home. Ergonomically designed with a beautiful silhouette that would transform any bathroom into a spa, Kohler’s ice bath features an integrated water filtration system as well as a programmed user experience to create personalized sessions. No surprise why this was an award winner.  – Ryan Van Bibber, executive editor Family Handyman.

Elegant faucets

We’ve told readers for years that upgrading their faucets and fixtures is an easy way to add some design flair to a house, and I saw some incredible options for DIYers at the KBIS show. The Frank Loyd Wright collection from Brizo really captured my attention. The designs feature clean lines and a simple, function-driven focus that makes Wright’s work memorable. The products come in various finishes, but the wood trim is what really stands out. – Ryan Van Bibber

 Design-forward appliances

Another favorite from KBIS for me was the Cafe line of appliances from GE. The Cafe line has been around for a while now, but they’ve really doubled down on the idea that everyday kitchen appliances can effectively be a personal style choice. More than just something that sits in the kitchen, but appliances that truly define the space with a variety of colors and finishes that can turn a functional space like a kitchen into a true design statement. Among the products on display, I was really impressed with the Cafe Double Drawer Dishwasher. Incredibly convenient, it allows you to run small loads without having to power the entire dishwasher. Plus, it’d be great for entertaining, as you can run one drawer while waiting to load the other one. – Ryan Van Bibber

NHAB Winners

NHAB Highlights

Reimagined Garage Doors

I saw Clopay VertiStack Avante garage door in action at the show, and it was awesome. Instead of the door rolling up on tracks, the VertiStack Avante opens with sections that stack vertically above the door opening. Not only would it be great for someone who wants to maximize the overhead, but I could also see it as a door between the patio and house, combining your outdoor space with the interior into one giant living space during the warm weather months. – Ryan Van Bibber

Luxurious standalone tub

With its visually striking design, the Acrylic Haven Hammock by The Hammock Bath Company seamlessly blends style and modernity. Suspended in the air and supported by two steel end frames, this tub mimics the look of a real hammock. Crafted from molded acrylic, it offers a stain-resistant, low-maintenance finish, while its flat bottom makes it an ideal choice as a two-person soaker tub.

Forward-thinking electrical panel

Step into the future of home energy management with the SPAN Panel MLO 48. Designed to replace traditional circuit breaker panels, this advanced panel offers smart home integration and real-time energy monitoring. The MLO 48 is perfect for homes looking to optimize energy usage, integrate renewable energy sources like solar or incorporate energy storage systems such as home batteries.

Smart wildfire protection

At the core of the Frontline Defense System 2 is advanced fire detection software that monitors fire activity within a 7-mile radius of your home. Upon detecting a fire, the system automatically activates sprinkler systems to drench the home’s exterior with water and flame retardant. The companion app delivers real-time evacuation instructions and live updates, for truly smart wildfire protection.

Eco conscious construction materials

Powered by CaptureCrete technology, the ADORN Stone ECO2LUXE mortarless stone veneer actively captures and stores carbon from the atmosphere. This innovative material seamlessly combines environmental responsibility with a visually appealing, durable building solution, setting a new standard in sustainable construction.

Better screens for windows

As someone who’s repaired more than a few window screens over the years, I was really excited to see the new Integrated Rolscreen Windows from Pella. It’s a retractable screen that appears when you roll up the window and disappears when you close it, helping to prevent wear and tear as well as giving your exterior a more attractive look. Another highlight is just how tough the screen materials are on these windows. It seems like most screens get a big gash just from catching a fingernail on them, but Pella’s screen material can withstand the rigors of even the most aggressive pets. – Ryan Van Bibber 

Resilient building materials

I live in New Mexico, where wildfires are just a part of life now, so I was really impressed by LP’s FlameBlock fire-resistance OSB panels. In addition to that product, LP had a lot of resiliency-focused building materials on display at the show, including their WeatherLogic panels, which would be great if you’re building in an area where moisture and flooding are major concerns.  – Ryan Van Bibber
