The world’s largest home building convention in Vegas is always packed with the latest and greatest home products. Here are 17 standout finds that you’ll want to know about if you’re building or renovating.
Murphy Door
These guys are known for hidden doors and beds, and they debuted a new sliding hidden door this year. Unlike traditional swing-out hidden doors, this one slides along the wall, offering a sleek alternative that doubles as storage.
Their pull-down Murphy beds are also a game-changer. They now come with integrated storage and built-in nightstands, making guest rooms feel more like a high-end hotel. When not in use, everything easily folds away.

Rev-A-Shelf
Always a crowd favorite, Rev-A-Shelf has storage solutions for every room. One of their most popular products is the pop-out mixer stand. You simply pull it out when needed and tuck it away after use.
They also have pull-out shelving to maximize cabinet space, especially helpful for tall cupboards where you get to adjust the heights as needed. This year’s new additions included a paper towel holder and a double-capacity expandable junk drawer. It might not be meant for junk, but that’s exactly what I’d use it for!

VanAir Vent Door
Ever had a door slam shut when the AC kicks on? That’s due to air pressure differences. This vent door equalizes pressure between rooms, preventing slamming and eliminating the need for separate wall transfer grills.

Mbrico Tile Deck
These tiles are designed for front and back porches as well as roofs. They install directly onto deck joists using a track system or onto roofs with a pedestal system. They don’t get hot, slippery, or scratched!

Duxxbak Composite Decking
This interlocking composite decking system directs rainwater in one direction, keeping the area underneath dry. No need for separate drainage systems like we’d traditionally use. It even creates extra dry space below your deck that can be used for storage or an extra room.

Deakco Smart Switches
Deakco’s electrical switches make home automation easy. Your house can initially be wired with standard switches and when your budget allows, you simply swap them out for smart switches, dimmers, or specialty controls without rewiring. Just plug and play.

Watrline Outdoor Shower System
These outdoor showers caught my eye immediately. Instead of a typical wall-mounted faucet, they feature dramatic ground-mounted pipes that look sleek and modern. They do come with a hefty price tag but I absolutely loved the design!

Prinsco Proform Foundation Drain
This innovative foundation drain integrates piping directly into the concrete form. Traditional drainage requires separate piping along the foundation, but this combines forming and drainage in one step. No need to remove forms after pouring concrete!

FastenMaster Deck Frame Coating
Instead of using deck tape to extend the life of your deck joists, this liquid coating is simply painted on. It cures in 24 hours and costs 50% less than traditional deck tape.

Elite Doors and Windows
Oversized doors are a big trend, and this convention featured a showstopper: a 23-foot-tall door weighing 1,000 pounds! If you’re considering a statement entryway, this is worth checking out.

LitCon Concrete Sheathing
This exterior sheathing is made of concrete, making it soundproof and water-resistant. Surprisingly, it even floats! It’s an alternative to traditional OSB sheathing with added durability.

Pella Hidden Screens
These windows feature built-in screens that only appear when the window is open. When closed, the screen retracts into the frame, eliminating bulky screen frames and keeping the view unobstructed.

SnapSafe Doors
If you’re looking for a budget-friendly safe room door, SnapSafe is a great option. Their newest feature is a storage mount behind the door.

SnapPower Sensors
SnapPower’s outlet nightlights are already a favorite, but their new humidity sensor for bathroom exhaust fans is a smart addition. It installs easily over an existing wall switch, eliminating the need for separate humidity switches or extra wiring. Will be released sometime this year.
Cosentino FreePower Countertop Charging
This countertop has built-in wireless charging so no cords are needed! While I love the convenience, I do wonder about its long-term compatibility with future charging technology.
Fakro Skylight to Balcony
This skylight opens into two sections, transforming into a mini rooftop balcony. If you’re investing in a large skylight, this could add an unexpected bonus feature to your space.

Elkay Water Fountain
With the rise of reusable water bottles, dedicated bottle-filling stations are becoming common in new builds. Elkay’s latest version is battery-operated, meaning no need to run power or plumbing for a drain. You only need a simple water line connection to no longer fill your water bottle at the kitchen sink!

(Battery operated will be out later this year)
