The Katy Home & Outdoor Living Show is back this month (March 22 and 23, 2025) with hundreds of exhibitors and they are hosting a drawing for a $250 shopping spree. Learn more about that online.
This event features the latest trends in home design with everything from windows to doors, floors, outdoor living areas, landscape, pools, kitchens, baths, displaying cutting-edge home renovation solutions, sustainable gardening techniques and eye-catching backyard attractions including a more economical, creative swimming pool solution, and more.
New this year is a Sustainability Showcase, free gardening classes, and swimming pools made from shipping containers. Visitors are encouraged to bring pictures and compare prices.
"We're thrilled to bring the 19th Annual Katy Home & Outdoor Living Show to life once again — a community favorite that showcases the latest Houston area home design and garden trends and supports our local economy by connecting local businesses with the customers who need them," says show producer Robyn Cade, president of RJC Productions.
Register for a Shopping Spree
Register online for the $250 show shopping spree before Friday, March 21. One winner will be drawn this Friday. Registering online in advance will also earn you free admission.
Inspiration for Inside and Outside
The two-day Home and Outdoor Living Show at Katy's Merrell Center will feature numerous workshops promising ideas and inspiration for homes, both inside and out. Advice from the experts will focus on topics including Texas-friendly landscaping, energy-efficient home solutions and sustainable living practices, like how to save on food costs such as the high price of eggs. The show will include a fashion show, floral arranging, cookie design and live embroidery.
This year Katy homeowners can enjoy some new options with the show’s new additions for inground swimming pools. Such ideas are great ahead of the summer months. Pools made from shipping containers are becoming popular for their affordability, distinctive industrial-chic appearance and significantly reduced installation time. These repurposed containers offer an eco-conscious swimming solution with a modern aesthetic look.
Though new is exciting, Katy fans can look forward to fan favorites like the return of the Brookwood Community. They will host their popular spring plant sale, offering visitors the opportunity to beautify their Houston-area homes with Texas-native plants grown at nearby greenhouses in Brookshire.
