Overview

Kitchen + Bath Show is a dedicated trade event focused on the kitchen, bathroom, and laundry industry, held at ICC Sydney as part of the broader Design & Build Week. It runs alongside Design Show Australia and Futurebuild Australia, sharing a single visitor pass across all three shows. The event targets the Australian market, which the organisers place at an estimated value of $11 billion.

Focus

The show concentrates on product categories directly tied to interior design and specification within kitchen and bathroom environments. These include appliances, cabinetry, surfaces, tapware, sinks, baths, toilets, vanities, mirrors, components, fittings, lighting, and flooring. The scope positions it within the overlap between building materials and interior fit-out rather than broader architectural discourse.

Australia’s only trade event dedicated exclusively to the kitchen and bathroom sector — the show draws professionals from design, construction, retail, and property development into a single sourcing environment for three days each June.

Program

The exhibition floor hosts 250+ brands across a wide range of kitchen and bathroom product categories. Alongside the exhibits, a structured programme runs in parallel.

Knowledge Sessions

Over 30 sessions covering product trends, practice insights, and industry developments. All sessions are included with the visitor pass. Speakers for 2026 include practitioners from interior design studios, joinery businesses, retail, and industry associations such as KBDi and ACFA.

KBDi & ACFA Members Lounge

A dedicated space on the floor for members of the Kitchen & Bathroom Designers Institute and the Australian Cabinet & Furniture Association to meet and network separately from the general show floor.

Three Shows in One

The Kitchen + Bath Show pass also grants full access to Design Show Australia and Futurebuild Australia, running concurrently at the same venue. This structure allows visitors to move between architecture, design, and sustainability-focused content within a single visit.

Audience

The event targets trade professionals including kitchen and bathroom designers, interior designers, architects, builders, cabinet makers, fit-out contractors, property developers, and retail showroom staff — with Saturday open to homeowners and design enthusiasts.

Event Details

✦ ArchUp Editorial Insight

Kitchen + Bath Show occupies a specific and commercially well-defined niche — it addresses a sector where specification decisions carry significant construction value, yet the event’s format remains predominantly product-display oriented. The educational programme, while practical, does not engage substantively with the broader spatial and material questions that kitchen and bathroom design raises within architectural practice — such as the integration of wet rooms within structural systems, or the long-term performance of surface materials under residential conditions. Its value for architects and specifiers lies in direct product comparison and supplier access, rather than in design thinking or research-led content.

Closing Note

As the only trade event in Australia dedicated solely to the kitchen and bathroom sector, Kitchen + Bath Show holds a clear position in the regional events calendar — functioning as a sourcing and networking platform within a high-value, specification-driven segment of the construction and design industry.
