Kitchen trends are predicted to feature earthy and jewel like colours in natural materials. A shift from grey to beige neutrals, incorporating personality into the design.
In 2024 there was a raise in the use of wood within the kitchen and this is one of the biggest design elements staying for 2025. The use of natural materials and tones creates an inviting warmth into the room. Combining natural wood, or wood effect, with stone and organic textures and shapes creates a biophillic design. Complimenting these materials with earthy colours to create a calming space that carries the outside in and promotes wellness.
A softness in design has been seen in romantic style interiors, which we are now seeing more of in our kitchens. Rich jewel tones and ornate details are balanced with elegant neutrals and vintage inspired touches. The colour palette used in this style creates a relaxing environment, and is a key example of bringing personality into your kitchen design.
The last few years have seen many cool, grey kitchens. Whilst these remain popular, there is now a transition to warm neutral tones, seen as beige and cream cabinets. On the contrast, colourful kitchens are becoming more popular as people become more creative and confident with the bold use of colour in their homes. The use of such colour can be seen in many mid-century modern inspired palettes, accompanied by clean lines and shapes.
As people opt to kitchens featuring more personal style and statement designs, a great way to incorporate varying colours and textures into your kitchen is the use of differing cabinets. For example your island maybe designed in a contrasting colour or statement lighting can create a focal points and adding depth to the design.
With maximalist and personality orientated design increasing, bold worktops create a statement and add luxury to your kitchen. Eye catching colours and stand out veining used as waterfall splashback is a practical and seamless alternative to traditional tile or glass splashbacks.
Storage will always be one of the biggest factors in kitchen design, however, how this is implemented may be changing. Whilst seamless hidden pantries and storage remains popular, using storage areas as display is both convenient and creates a design element. Contrasting from seamless storage, creating kitchens that looked lived-in brings warmth into the space. This can be implemented through showcasing your equipments such as hanging pots and pans, creating a kitchen feature and improving accessibility. Bespoke storage optimises the space in your kitchen and personalises it to your use.
Shaker style cabinetry remains the most popular door front. Combining these more traditional door fronts with with modern hardware and clean stone worktops allows for a hybrid of modern and traditional styles, named ‘soft modern’. We think this will be a popular design trend in 2025, creating kitchens tailored to personal style and complimenting almost every home.
