Does your kitchen in your house need a bit of a makeover? Here’s our top kitchen renovation trend predictions for 2025.
Top Kitchen Trends 2025
1. Wood Shaker Kitchen Cabinets in Light Green or Blue (as shown below)
The trend of wood shaker cabinets will still be popular in 2025, but instead of all white, they will likely be moving more to light green or blue.
2. Mid-Tone Engineered Hardwood Floors.
Mid-tone engineered hardwood floors have already become popular in 2024 and will still likely remain so throughout 2025.
3. Antique Gold Hardware.
Antique gold hardware for kitchen cabinet handles have become all of the rage lately, which will give your new kitchen a much more elegant look.
4. Large 4×4 Glossy Backsplash Tiles.
These large 4×4 glossy textured backsplash tiles should be in the same colour palette as the rest of your kitchen, including colours, such as light blues and pinks. The main benefits of the larger backsplash tiles is that they have less grout lines, which make them appear more seamless, and they are also easier to maintain.
5. Combining Bold Materials.
One of the main kitchen renovation trends for 2025 will be combining bold materials together, such as wood with glass or metals, such as copper or bronze. The main goal or challenge being to create a dynamic and nuanced kitchen decor.
6. European Farmhouse Kitchen.
The European Farmhouse Kitchen is the perfect example of this recent trend of combining bold kitchen materials, such as wood with more refined metals, such as gold or brass. However, modern styled lighting is still often used.
Another main element of the European Farmhouse Kitchen is large windows overlooking outside, which give it a large and open airy vibe. Whereas, the traditional farmhouse kitchen style in North America is much more compartmentalized and closed in. There’s also a warm chromatic mix of beiges and wood and metallic hues, such as gold and brass. Whereas, last year’s kitchen colour palette was limited to black, white, and blue.
7. Double Kitchen Island.
The double kitchen island trend has become popular due to its practicality, since you can host people on one island and prepare food on the other! Plenty of storage space is often contained inside and around the exterior of each island.
8. Countertop Kitchen Cabinets.
With this trend kitchen cabinets are mounted directly on the kitchen counter instead of hanging above, which increases space and gives it a unique decorative style.
9. Coastal Style.
A coastal-inspired kitchen relies on soft colours, such as white, beige, and pastel blue and light grey, as well as natural materials, such as rattan, wood paneling, and linen. The idea is to make your kitchen feel like you are immersed in nature at the beach, giving off a much more laid-back vibe than most traditional-style kitchens.
10. Modern Rustic Style.
This trend combines modern kitchen styling with older rustic materials, such as tropical wood, natural stone, concrete, and metals.
11. Glass Lighting.
Elegant and timeless glass lighting (unfrosted) have become an extremely popular kitchen design trend lately. Some of the most popular glass kitchen lighting design styles include classic globes or hanging fixtures with clean lines.
12. Enclosed Kitchen.
The purpose of the enclosed kitchen is to separate it from the rest of the house, making it more private and intimate. The main benefits being that it will prevent smells and sounds from escaping to other areas of the home. However, you could also just have some sort of sliding doors installed, which would allow you to open up the area if you ever got tired of it being closed off from the rest of your house.
13. Wood.
Once again wood has become a very popular kitchen material, due to its rustic, warm nature. Some of the most popular types of wood used in kitchens include: oak, walnut, and maple in pale to medium shades.
14. Arched Door or Pantry Door.
Arched kitchen doors (with or without a door) have become very popular, since they become a focal point for your kitchen and can mark the space leading to your pantry. In addition, the arched doors also let in more light and make the space look bigger. The arched doors can be made of wood, glass or metal.
15. Stainless Steel Accents.
Stainless steel kitchen accents have made a huge comeback, this is because it makes kitchens look more modern and futuristic. In addition, stainless steel reflects light, so it can make the room brighter, just by including more of it in your kitchen.
