KBIS 2025 in Review: A Post-Show Wrap-Up Not to Miss

KBIS 2025 took place last week, and the show had more than 43,000 registered attendees and almost 700 exhibitors. More than 150 of those exhibitors were new to KBIS. Although the KBB editors were not able to see all of them, we were able to visit with numerous exhibitors and learn about their new offerings for 2025.

These esteemed members of the KBB Editorial Advisory Board graciously share some of their thoughts on outstanding products they saw at KBIS 2025.

KBIS 2025 was a masterclass in immersive design, and this year, I had the opportunity to collaborate with Fabuwood, JennAir and Feeney to bring their brand visions to life through unforgettable booth experiences. Each space was carefully crafted to inspire, innovate and engage – pushing beyond traditional trade show displays to create immersive environments that showcased the future of kitchen and bath design. In this behind-the-scenes look, we’re breaking down the creative vision, product highlights and key design moments from each booth. Whether you joined us in person or are catching up from afar, here’s an inside look at the design behind the booths that made waves at KBIS 2025.

KBIS, the destination for kitchen and bath design professionals, revealed the winners of Best of KBIS, the industry’s premier awards program.

The Best Booth Awards recognized outstanding exhibitor creativity on display at KBIS 2025. Remarkable ingenuity paired with strategic collaborations continue to raise the level of competition for best booth every show, with brands showcasing limitless possibilities. Each year, exhibitors present new ways to display products and inspire attendees, leaving a lasting impression with craftsmanship, innovation and imagination.

An indicator of the design landscape at large, 2025 booth trends included warm, mixed materials, dramatic color saturation and personalized spaces with clear points of view. Judges Nar Bustamante (Nar Fine Cabinetry), Christopher Grubb (Arch-Interiors Design Group) and Rachel Hutchens, CMKBD (Maven Home Interiors) remarked that the product displays were some of the most sophisticated they have seen. Elegant, elevated design details stood out, creatively using vertical space, lighting and fabrication.
