We can’t quite believe we are saying it, but we are nearly in 2025! It’s a time when we meet the upcoming trends for the kitchen that will transform spaces in 2025. As we know homeowners spend countless hours in the kitchen and it’s not just for cooking, it’s also a central gathering spot for the whole family.
Of course, function is at the forefront of the design, but looking beautiful is also paramount. Each year trends change and it was also about all-white kitchen spaces but, in recent years, more colour has started to creep into the backsplash and cabinets. 2025 is the year that trends are set to redefine kitchen design with personal style, technological advancement, and sustainable living.
It can always be daunting when first starting out on your kitchen project, but looking at the latest trends can help get you started. Get ready to discover exciting new styles with us at The Handmade Kitchen Company. New kitchen trends will help you push boundaries and redefine functionality in your next bespoke kitchen project.
Get on the bandwagon early! What 2025 design trend are you choosing?
Earthy & Nature Inspired
Bringing the outside in is still dominating interior design trends. This trend creates calming, earthy spaces that are designed to flourish beautifully. This can mean adding natural materials with solid wood cabinetry, stone worktops, and tactile finishes to highlight natural grains, veining and stunning textures. We continue to incorporate natural materials and earthy tones into our bespoke kitchen designs in the new year.
The colour green is still a favoured choice and is being enhanced with browns, taupes, and warm neutrals to create a soothing and organic look that represents the beautiful nature we are surrounded with.
Plants still add greenery to the space and enhance the biophilic design trend.

Statement Worktops Bound to Inspire & Catch the Eye
Worktops are one of the main features of the kitchen, they continue to inspire us with their different styles, colours and finishes. Still dominating the stone industry are quartz worktops and their marble-look surfaces. The dramatic veining is trending for islands and splashbacks and is even being paired with wooden breakfast bars to add interest and function.
Another way to enhance the kitchen island is to extend the worktop down the sides to give a waterfall illusion. This design remains a sleek and sophisticated choice, and imagine if it had a striking vein!
Although the big dramatic designs are set to trend, the edge detailing is gaining more attention too. Thicker worktops and ogee edge profiles are going to make an impact on kitchen designs in 2025.

Dark & Moody Colour Palettes are Taking Centre Stage
While white kitchen designs remain timeless and have been a long-standing trend, darker tones are taking centre stage. We are seeing more shades like jet black, deep emerald green, navy blue and charcoal. Dark and moody colour palettes bring richness and luxury to any space. They are wonderful hues to pair with metallic finishes like brushed gold and matte black.
Double colour drenching is taking a stance in 2025, where bold colours are combined from the same side of the colour wheel. These colours aren’t tonally similar but they contrast and do not clash with one another. This type of design is suitable for modern kitchen ideas and traditional spaces.
Matte black cabinets and other matte finishes dominate kitchen design with modern and understated elegance.
Add Visual Interest & Depth with Mixed Materials and Textures
A marble-style kitchen worktop with exquisite book-matching and coordinating dramatic splashback is nothing short of incredible. It’s a clever way of combining the organic beauty of materials like nautral marble with the durability and easy maintenance of an engineered alternative.
Blends of wood, metal and stone will be incorporated into the kitchen, along with varied textures of matte and glossy textures. A bespoke kitchen allows you to personalise it just how you want it.

Stylish Glass Displays
It’s not about open shelving anymore, it’s about adding stylish glass display cabinets right at the heart of the cooking space. This look is suited to contemporary and traditional kitchen designs, offering a relaxed yet polished alternative to wall units, much like the open shelving trend that revolutionised kitchens a decade ago. It’s an ideal choice for open-plan kitchens that still dominate the home, blending living areas with the main hub of the home.

Sustainability Remains a Key Focus
The world remains conscious of its environmental footprint, and a key focus in kitchens is sustainability, using eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient appliances to complete the design. Homeowners create their environmentally responsible kitchens with recycled materials, sustainably sourced wood, and low-energy appliances.
Personalised Spaces Matching Your Style
Bespoke kitchens allow you to be as personal as you want, reflecting your true self. The elements that make up the design from the cabinets to the unique colour palettes and materials bring a distinctive touch to kitchen designs.
Opt for bespoke storage solutions that cater to your needs, from extra pantry ideas to creative corner units.

Smart Technology, Smart Kitchens
Smart kitchens are on the rise and it’s no surprise, as the technology available transforms the way we design and operate our kitchens. As more homeowners embrace the convenience of connected devices and add them to their kitchen wish lists, expect this trend to become the norm in 2025.
Voice-activated features are a thing of the future, and these innovations enhance functionality in the kitchen.
