Every year for the past five years, I've gone to the Kitchen & Bath Show to search for the latest and greatest innovations. As the host of NBC-TV's Naturally, DannySeo, and editor-in-chief of a print magazine of the same name, I'm always on the hunt for ways to make homes smarter, more efficient, cleaner, sustainable and of course, more naturally beautiful. Here are a few of my favorite finds.
Bosch Dishwasher With MyWay Rack
I always look to Bosch for the best kitchen appliances and they never fail to impress. This year they launched the new MyWay rack, which not only has a third rack, but it also features the industry's largest third rack loading capacity – so it easily fits larger & deeper items like cereal bowls, freeing up extra space for pots & pans in the bottom rack. It also has a new EasyGlide system, which makes it easier to control fully loaded racks. Oh and bonus, Bosch is the quietest dishwasher brand in the US.

Urban Cultivator
I'm all about eating the freshest food possible, which is why I love this indoor home garden. It's roughly the size of a small wine fridge, so it doesn't take up too much space, and it lets you easily grow your own fresh herbs, microgreens, veggies, and more in your kitchen. Their seeds are non-GMO, and no sprays or chemicals are added in the growing process, so everything is 100% organic. Which is how it should be!

Wilsonart® Laminate in Marmo Bianco with an Ultra Matte Finish
I don't recommend using marble because of the impact its mining and processing has on the earth, but I do love the look of this naturally beautiful material. That's why I was so blown away by this new laminate from Wilsonart. Yes, this is laminate! The realistic veining and on-trend, low-sheen stone look really rivals the natural material itself. Plus, laminate is made with recycled materials and is much less expensive than marble. That's a smart choice!

Sherwin-Williams ColorSnap Visualizer
Color is so big right now, but let's face it, it makes us all a little nervous choosing a bold paint color. What if it's not the right shade or it doesn't look right in your small bathroom or galley kitchen? That's why, the ColorSnap Visualizer is so cool. It makes adding color to a space a whole lot easier and stress-free because you can use this app to see what your room and décor look like in any paint shade. Plus, it's pretty fun to play around with too.

Kohler Real Rain Shower
The Bluetooth-enabled Moxie shower head was one of my top bathroom product picks last year and this year, Kohler has done it again. Because there's something magical about getting caught in a rainstorm, the geniuses at Kohler recreated that feeling with a unique shower head nozzle that simulates rain by adjusting the size and intensity of the water drops. Flowing at 2 gallons per minute, Real Rain complies with CALGreen requirements.

CertainTeed AirRenew
Admittedly, this is not a beautiful product, but it is a super smart
one! If you're planning to remodel a kitchen or bath, this drywall is
ideal as it features a first-of-its-kind technology that helps to
improve indoor air quality. It absorbs VOCs (volatile organic
compounds), specifically formaldehyde, and converts it into a safe,
inert compound. And it's made up of mainly recycled material, some of
which is specially engineered to provide enhanced protection against
moisture and is treated to protect against mold growth.
