Top Kitchen Trends For 2025

Earthy Kitchens

‘Earthy kitchens are quickly gaining traction, becoming one of the most sought-after styles for 2025,’ says kitchen expert Alex Woods at Victorian Plumbing. ‘This design trend draws heavily on nature, embracing calming, forest-inspired elements that promote a sense of serenity.’ 

Alongside a colour palette of muted greens and browns, the look is rooted in ‘distressed organic materials, wood finishes and natural textures.’ Incorporate some rattan details and finish with a few house plants for a grounded, earthy feel: ‘It’s all about blurring the lines between inside and outside,’ Alex adds.

Karolina Wierzbicka, Head of Design at August, advises utilising ‘locally sourced materials and objects that keep the kitchen closely connected to nature’ – which you’ll spot in August’s Premium Mallorca home. ‘We combined wooden cabinets with stone countertops, contrasting the intricate grain with the purity of the stone for earthy appeal,’ Karolina explains. ‘The rattan ceiling lights add rugged, natural texture and dimension, acting as a contemporary focal point to bring the look together.’

Moody Kitchens

‘We predict that home renovators will soon embrace darker design choices, moving away from the longstanding dominance of beige and neutrals in kitchens,’ Alex reflects. ‘2025 is all about experimenting with deeper, moodier aesthetics.’

The moody kitchen is already making waves, tying together sleek black worktops and rich wooden cabinets – or vice versa. ‘Dark kitchens can incorporate black, navy or dark green cupboards with dark oak counters, finishing off with warm, rustic lighting,’ Alex confirms. No longer associated with cold, industrial spaces, the moody aesthetic provides the perfect way to transform your kitchen into a space that’s both stylish and inviting.

Maximalism & Bold Tiling

‘Bold, colourful tiling is growing increasingly popular, so we expect this to peak in 2025,’ says Alex. ‘Emerald greens, ocean blues and maximalist finishes are being used more and more, bringing a polished, Mediterranean-inspired look to kitchens. Natural and stone tiling are particularly brilliant (and affordable) ways to make kitchens look instantly expensive.’

According to Rosalind Lang, a designer at Tom Howley, the maximalist look is also set to take a Regency-inspired turn. If the bright, Meditarranean style isn’t for you, consider embracing ‘vivid, Regency-era hues and intricate patterns, bringing a touch of romance and historical charm to contemporary spaces,’ says Rosalind. ‘William Morris-inspired patterns and Liberty prints are making a comeback, too, adding layers of texture and depth to the space without overwhelming the overall design.’

Brass Features

Replacing your kitchen hardware is a great way to update your kitchen without committing to a full renovation – and it looks like another 2025 kitchen trend is all about brass features. ‘Elements like brass sinks and antique tap knobs are anticipated to rise in popularity next year, along with brass door handles and industrial lighting fixtures such as pendant lights,’ says Alex.

Brass is not only timeless but incredibly versatile: Elisabeth Rogoff, Principal at Champalimaud Design, suggests that ‘materials like unlacquered brass speak well to the natural or moody kitchen look, while shiny metals can feed more into the industrial aesthetic.’

Scandinavian Style

A trend that continues to dominate is, of course, the Scandinavian look. ‘Characterised by a clean, uncluttered aesthetic, Scandinavian kitchens utilise a minimalist colour palette and focus on smart storage solutions,’ says Alex. ‘Since Scandi kitchens prioritise functionality and simplicity, they’re a particularly ideal choice for smaller spaces.’

Tying in with the delightfully uncluttered invisible kitchen trend, Scandi kitchens ensure that ‘everything is pared back and everything has its place,’ Alex continues. ‘Perhaps the key word to describe this style is ‘breathable’ – a quality that resonates deeply in today’s climate as homeowners look to decompress and feel at ease.’

Incorporating a Scandi look can also help to bring a fresh, stylish feel into your kitchen without requiring a huge overhaul. ‘If you’re one for restyling as the seasons change, choosing pale and earthy tones for your kitchen is important,’ says Mor Krisher, Head of Design at Caesarstone. ‘Neutral cabinetry and light worktops – such as a veined, marble-inspired design – pair beautifully with a vast range of other hues, giving you the flexibility to change your décor throughout the year.’

Now’s the time to get ahead of the curve when it comes to kitchen trends in 2025…
