As the year draws to a close, many of us will be exploring ways to revitalise our homes in 2025. From modernising our bathrooms to reshaping our gardens, there are plenty of ways to reimagine our homes to suit individual tastes and lifestyles. But of all the spaces in our homes, it’s our kitchens that we are most keen to revamp. In fact, almost a quarter of a million of us search for “kitchen trends” in the last three months of the year.

In this article, we will be exploring a few of the trends set to transform our kitchens in the year ahead. From a new take on the farmhouse aesthetic to a bolder approach to tiling, we have no doubt you’ll want to welcome a few of these 2025 kitchen trends into your own home. Plus, you’ll discover a few great products to help you do just that throughout.

Kitchen Trends of 2025

1. Elevated Farmhouse Style

With their rustic charm and warmth, farmhouse-styled kitchens have seen a boom over the past few years. Through combining natural and often weathered materials with muted and earthy tones, they can prove an awe-inspiring addition to homes with a Victorian or Edwardian style of architecture.

Farmhouse kitchens will continue to be popular throughout 2025, albeit with a more elevated approach than in previous years. Throughout the year ahead, farmhouse-inspired kitchens will be heavily influenced by the sophisticated country styles of France and wider Europe.

Alongside the always popular shaker cabinetry, expect to see modern pendant lights, such as those with a drum or bowl-like appearance. 2025 will also see faucets take a turn to luxury with brass, gold, and even black taking centre stage within farmhouse kitchens. More kitchens will also feature European-inspired ranges from Rangemaster, AGA, and Bertazzoni.

2. Natural Wood Cabinetry

Whilst the popularity of wooden worktops has ebbed and flowed for decades, 2025 will see uncoated wooden cabinets showcased in many kitchens. When paired with the right colour pallet, wooden cabinetry introduces warmth and character into a room. This only grows as the wood develops a unique patina over time.

Of course, as wooden cabinets become more popular homeowners will seek alternative worktops. Marble, quartz, and granite are great choices with almost any wood cabinets. Whitewashed woods pair brilliantly with darker varieties whilst deeper woods go great with lighter varieties.

The blend of rustic wooden cabinetry and modern stone worktops will lend itself to the elevated farmhouse style that’s set to boom in 2025. Plus, the breadth of woods and stones available will allow homeowners to match this trend with their individual property and style.

3. Cabinet to Ceiling Tiling

As each year passes, the use of tiles in the kitchen becomes bolder. 2025 will continue this trend with a newfound love for cabinet to ceiling tiling, whether they be subtle metro tiles or more elaborate tiles. Dependent upon the colour and finish used, these can be as effective at bouncing light around a room as mirrors.

Full-height tiling isn’t only great on the walls where cabinets are hung. Tiling a dividing or feature wall is a great way to make a statement in 2025. If you’ve got plenty of space to play with, you can experiment with more complex patterns that mix colours, textures, and orientations.

This trend doesn’t only look great. Having tiles cover the entirety of your wall makes your kitchen far easier to clean, hence the use of floor to ceiling tiles in our bathrooms. But if this is one of the reasons you love this trend, stick with glazed tiles that are easy to wipe clean.

4. Fluted Surfaces

Kitchens have been dominated by flat surfaces for decades. From perfectly smooth worktops to doors that appear as one continuous panel, most homeowners have adored a minimal aesthetic. Instead of the surfaces themselves, we’ve relied on faucets, sinks, handles, and other smaller items to add depth to our kitchens.

The coming year will see a shift that welcomes texture to the various surfaces found in our kitchens. From cabinet doors featuring a fluted design to wall panels with a reeded finish, 2025 will turn its back on the mundane in favour of something far more captivating.

As well as elevating the ordinary, these unique surfaces are great for camouflaging imperfections. This makes them ideal for kitchens where little ones run riot, as scratches and blemishes are well hidden by the shadows created by the flutes or reeds.  

5. Blending Rustic & Luxury

In previous years, rustic and opulent styles have been seen as polar opposites. But in 2025 this is set to change as kitchens fuse together rustic and luxurious features. This will be achieved mostly through blending rustic textures such as aged wood with natural tones such as cashmere.  

But the coming year will see rustic charm and luxurious touches combine in more obvious ways too. One such way could be through combining a classic butlers sink with a modern wall mounted tap. Another way may be through introducing high-end Miele appliances into otherwise understated cabinetry.

The blend of a rustic and opulent style does not only offer up a new ‘feel’ for kitchens in 2025 but allows us to enjoy a traditional aesthetic whilst also indulging in the wonders of the modern kitchen. That said, this is a trend in which achieving the right balance between rustic and luxury is key.
