2025 Kitchen Design Trends

Kitchen design trends for 2025 are emphasising a blend of sustainability, bold textures, and unique design choices. Here are some of the key trends to watch 👀

Layers of texture

Ribbed doors, fluted glass, and wooden panel feature walls are increasingly popular in kitchen design, adding artistic texture to create focal points and break up uniform surfaces. These design elements bring depth and character to modern kitchens, and this trend is set to continue in 2025 as more homeowners embrace textured finishes for added visual interest.

Tiered Islands

Kitchen islands are evolving in shape, size, and functionality, with features like integrated curved booths, breakfast bars, and tiered designs. Islands now include varying heights for meal prep and seating areas, with some breakfast bars recessed or raised for added versatility. For a multi-dimensional effect, tiered islands are a popular choice.

‘Wow’ storage elements

Personalised kitchen storage is on the rise, with homeowners creating spaces tailored to their cooking habits and lifestyles. Custom storage solutions are not only functional but also add individuality. A standout trend is the "wow factor"—unique storage features that enhance daily kitchen use and leave a lasting impression on guests.

Natural Walnut

Natural walnut is becoming a major trend, especially for 2025. While dark, stained walnut has been a classic choice, there’s now a shift towards a more natural look. Lacquered walnut highlights the wood’s grain and tonal variations, adding warmth and depth to kitchen spaces. This organic aesthetic is set to be a standout option for the year ahead.

Moody Hues 

Rich, deep colours like dark blue, forest green, emerald, and black bring sophistication to kitchens and pair perfectly with gold or brass accents. These hues create a luxurious contrast with metals or lighter tones and will continue to be popular through 2025. A new trend, "double drenching," involves using two complementary shades—one for cabinetry and a related colour for the walls—for a dramatic, cohesive look.
