As one of the main hubs of every home, kitchen renovations are some of the most sought-after projects. The following kitchen design trends for 2025 will explore the most popular ways to make your kitchen your own. With just a few tips, you’ll make it a space you won’t want to leave.
Texture
The smaller details matter in any room of a home but especially in the kitchen. There is no other room in the house that is made for cooking, eating, and cleaning like the kitchen is. This doesn’t mean that it must look like a sterile professional kitchen!
Adding texture and color to the walls inserts an eye-catching element into the space. One way of doing this is by incorporating fluted wall panels. Fluted wall panels are wall coverings made of a series of pieces of wood. They are hung either vertically or horizontally. As seen above, the concept doesn’t need to be solely used on walls. It can also be done subtly on kitchen island areas or as a backsplash.
Colorful Backsplash
It’s understandable to like the idea of fluted wall panels but perhaps not as a backsplash. Admittedly, they may make the task of cleaning cooking splatter a tad bigger job. Alternative backsplash ideas popular in 2025 include using options that add a pop of color to the space. This would make an even bigger impact if the rest of the kitchen design included mostly white or a sole color.
Colorful Cabinets
Another kitchen design trend this year is to have colorful cabinets. Many are even choosing to go quite bold with their color choices! Opting for trendy bright yellows and deep reds like burgundy can quickly make it look like an entirely new space.
A professional can help you choose the right combination of materials and colors if you don’t know where to begin. This will ensure anything chosen pairs well with the countertops and appliances. Additionally, vibrant light fixtures and unique cupboard/drawer hardware can add a nice touch. Gold is always a popular choice for cupboard finishings, among other in-style options such as warm metallics, matte, and satin.
Dining Nook
Cozy dining nooks are also making a comeback in 2025. Although, we don’t believe they ever truly went out of style in the first place. Separating the dining area from the kitchen is one of the best ways to keep the busier energy from the cooking space away from where the meal will be enjoyed. The dining experience will be more peaceful and comfortable while keeping everyone connected simultaneously.
We love kitchen islands and seating arrangements that allow individuals to be amongst the food preparations. However, we also appreciate how sitting at an actual table for the meal brings people and families together.
Many times, we see dining nooks placed next to bay windows. Realistically, not every home has such a window! Instead, any corner that is barely used or seems like a “wasted” space would be an ideal location.
The base can be a sturdy wood like oak or maple while the tabletop is made of durable quartz, porcelain, granite, or quartzite. Blending materials is another design trend for 2025 so this is like a two-in-one! As an added feature, it can also act as extra storage! Cookbooks, extra appliances you may not have room for, and/or extra cushions will have their place and be kept out of sight when not in use.
The rest of the space can be decorated depending on the desired tone of the setting. This may include the aforementioned colored cushion fabrics or a sleek stone bench which can be adjusted accordingly as time progresses.
Oversized Lighting
Having oversized light fixtures throughout the home are statement pieces also making a comeback this year! Natural lighting is often preferred yet this isn’t always an option. Especially, if you live in a climate with early nights due to winter. Luckily, these make the perfect lighting for dining nooks.
Floating Countertops and Shelves
To some, one of the most trendy kitchen design trends of 2025 may come as a surprise- floating countertops and shelves. Open isn’t for everyone but it can be a great way to display beautiful dishware or show your personality.
Candles, cookbooks, artwork, sculptures- the choice is yours in terms of what to showcase on the shelving but no matter what is chosen, it will add a warm, lived-in feel that so many strive for.
