The Building Show in Toronto, Canada, is the largest show for viewing new kitchen and bathroom accessory trends for that year besides the upcoming KBIS show in Las Vegas. Both events will take place in December 2025 and February 2026, respectively. Caizun, a leading manufacturer of kitchen and bath products with more than 25 years of experience developing products, presented their new collection for 2026 at both shows, identifying three bathroom product trends that will dominate residential design in 2021.
The first trend we’re seeing for the bathroom space is all about minimalism, with no visible hardware being a big advantage to homeowners. According to the numbers from the show, interest in freestanding faucets and wall-mounted bathtub faucets has increased 47% since 2025 for consumers. All new faucets are made using PVD coating, which is five times more anti-scratch than traditional electroplating, meaning less time spent cleaning the faucets. There are now also many shower tub faucet models available that include built-in water filters to remove chlorine and heavy metals, which were previously restricted to kitchen products. Finally, a matching line of bath accessories, such as towel bars and toilet paper holders, has been developed to avoid visible screw holes for a minimal look with no visible clutter or hardware.
Multi-purpose, space-saving products are becoming popular in kitchens, particularly because many houses now have smaller sized kitchens. For the newest, most popular releases in accessories for the kitchen include a faucet set that has the option of providing soap and filtered drinking water, thus allowing you to eliminate having separate items on your kitchen countertop. Another example of a multi-functional accessory is a foldable drying rack that you can place over the sink which can be put away when not in use in order to create more counter space. Many of today’s homeowners are very concerned with keeping their kitchens clean as a result of the pandemic, and are requesting that cabinet pulls and cutting boards have an antimicrobial finish.
All 2026 trends can be ordered immediately through faucettaps.com and include bulk pricing for designers and contractors as well as retail to individual homeowners. For those attending KBIS 2026 you will be able to schedule a visit to try each product and receive exclusive access to special packaging. Caizun is providing many overseas clients, through North America, with one-stop shopping for all kitchen and bath products to speed up the process of sourcing products for design and build projects.
