Imagine an event that combines the best of the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS), Las Vegas Market, Consumer Electronics Show (CES), and Casual Market Atlanta — all in one place. It does exist! In fact, this is the essence of Nationwide Marketing Group’s PrimeTime expo.
Featuring well over 100 exhibitors, PrimeTime offers a unique opportunity for independent retailers to connect with vendors, large and small, across various industries. The show floor is also ideal for spotting trends, with booth after booth displaying some of the latest and best-selling products on the market.
2025 / 2026 Appliance Trends
Multi-Function Appliances
More is more when it comes to appliances, as consumers are looking for ways to save time, money, and even space without sacrificing quality or aesthetics. Kitchen appliances at PrimeTime featured everything from flex drawers in refrigerators to air fryer ovens and ranges with over 15 ways to cook.
Pizza Oven Ranges
Speaking of cooking, home-baked pizzas are having a moment, thanks to the hottest new ranges — pun intended. For example, the Frigidaire team demoed a new Front Control Electric Range with Stone-Baked Pizza that reaches 750 degrees, and KitchenAid showcased its own range with a restaurant-style pizza mode.

White Appliances Are Back
That’s right. The 1980s and 1990s white trend is making a comeback — in kitchens and laundry rooms. Several appliance vendors at PrimeTime showed white models alongside other finish options like stainless steel and black.

2025 / 2026 Furniture Trends
In addition to some of the trends spotted at Las Vegas Market and High Point Market earlier this year, furniture vendors at PrimeTime displayed these hot trends in the home furnishings space:
Two-Tone and Lighter Washes
Color will always play a prominent role in the home, and yet the core tonal properties of light and dark are just as key. While the popularity of dark and moody continues, two-tone and lighter finishes are gaining traction — especially among the booths at PrimeTime.

Curved Furniture
It’s official. Curves are still in and influencing the details of everything from sofas and chairs to desks, dining room tables and accent pieces. The curve appeal was high at PrimeTime with plenty of eye-catching edges and shapes on the show floor.

Modern Furniture
Move over, farmhouse. Sleek lines and contemporary silhouettes were prominent at PrimeTime. Given the timelessness of modern furniture, it’s no wonder that consumers are looking to invest in pieces that likely won’t go out of style in a year or two.

2025 / 2026 Consumer Electronics (CE) Trends
The Samsung Experience Room was back at PrimeTime once again, this time showcasing the latest in sound bars and anti-glare TV technology.
Other CE trends at PrimeTime included:
- An increase in TV models 100” and larger
- New mini-LED displays with higher brightness levels
- Outdoor TVs engineered for extreme weather conditions
2025 / 2026 Outdoor Trends
Now let’s talk outdoors. In addition to PrimeTime Backyard — an event just off the show floor that features several outdoor cooking vendors — the outdoor living category continues to grow. August PrimeTime in Nashville featured several new outdoor vendors, including Armen Living, Monument Grills, Vintage Grills, Captiva Outdoor Islands, and Sonagi, plus new outdoor furniture from Ashley.

While outdoor living had a major moment during Covid, PrimeTime proved that manufacturers and consumers alike are still investing in all aspects of the outdoor space — from grills, pizza ovens, and outdoor kitchens to modern outdoor furniture, and those all-weather TVs.
And that’s a wrap on PrimeTime trends for August 2025. Stick around for more coverage of what’s new and trending at future PrimeTime events and markets throughout the year.
