2025 Kitchen Design Trends
Incorporating a warm color palette, organic touches, and natural stone elements, modern kitchen designs for 2025 convey a feeling of understated elegance.
We’re seeing lots of curved architectural elements in the kitchen for 2025, including arched doorways, curved island designs and rounded kitchen counter stools.
Shimmering zellige tile is also having a moment in kitchen backsplash design.
Zellige tiles are handcrafted from clay, and each one is unique, retaining variations in shimmer, depth, and color tone, making them popular with interior designers.
Kitchen designers and homeowners alike are also embracing a mix of metal finishes for kitchen faucets, lighting, pot fillers, and cabinet pulls.
I love this light-filled kitchen, incorporating a mix of brass and polished nickel metal finishes. We chose the same pendant lighting and counter stools for our kitchen.
