2025 Kitchen Design and Remodel Trends

Your kitchen is one of the most important spaces in your home. It’s where you prepare meals and connect with your family as you eat together, and it’s often a primary room where guests congregate when you’re hosting company. When you have a beautiful and functional kitchen, it enhances your enjoyment of your home exponentially. If you haven’t updated your kitchen recently, now may be a great time to consider some upgrades.

Kitchen remodel projects can transform the space, allowing it to serve the needs of your family in ways that simply aren’t possible with an outdated kitchen. If you’re considering a kitchen remodel project in 2025, you’ll want to be aware of the latest trends associated with modern kitchens. The following guide will help you understand the kitchen design and remodel trends that will be most popular over the next year.

Kitchen Cabinet and Color Trends

Wood cabinets are making a big comeback. While painted cabinets will never go away, we’re seeing a shift where a lot of people are more open to doing their entire kitchen in wood instead of just using wood as an accent item. In particular, medium and dark tones of wood are trending for kitchen cabinets right now, as an increasing number of homeowners are seeking a warmer, natural looking feel for their kitchen.

If you prefer painted cabinets, you’ll have quite a few trending colors to choose from. The desire for warmth and natural, organic tones is causing colors such as beige, cream and taupe to become very popular this year. We’re also seeing a mix of wood and painted cabinets, often pairing wood islands with creamy upper cabinets.

Kitchen Countertop Material Trends

Stone countertops are still extremely popular, with quartzite trending as one of the most popular natural stone materials. Many homeowners are choosing dark bold veining patterns in their stone countertops and backsplashes. This classic design feature will give your kitchen a more opulent look.

Finish and Fixture Trends

The matte black fixtures and finishes we’ve seen in recent years are starting to fade in popularity. Instead, softer metal fixtures and finishes are now trending. In 2025, expect to see a lot of fixtures made out of unlacquered brass, polished nickel and soft bronze. If you’re having trouble deciding between these options, don’t worry. You can just mix and match your finish and fixture materials, as mixing metals in the kitchen will be a popular design choice this year.

Layout and Storage Trends

Efficiency is being increasingly prioritized in kitchen design, as people are looking to maximize the functionality of their cooking space. This is impacting layout decisions and storage options being used in kitchen remodels:

• Hidden storage solutions that provide a sleek look
• Integrated appliances that blend in seamlessly with surrounding cabinetry
• Countertop hutches that provide additional storage
• “Dirty kitchens” and butler’s pantries that create a dedicated and covert space for food prep and cleanup that is out of the way and hidden from view

Trending Design Elements

We’re also seeing the following design elements surge in popularity right now:

• Statement backsplashes with large format tiles or stacked stone
• Eat-in kitchens that feature spaces for kitchen tables rather than an island that doubles as an eating spot
• Vintage and antique elements, such as shelving brackets and hardware
• Purpose-driven, oversized islands that can be used for food prep, homework and socializing
• Wood floors in the kitchen
• Custom plaster hoods
• Long marble shelves instead of multiple floating shelves
