We’re also seeing lots of curved architectural elements in the kitchen for 2025, including arched doorways, curved island designs and rounded kitchen counter stools.
In addition, shimmering zellige tile is 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.
Designers and homeowners are also embracing a mix of metal finishes for kitchen faucets, lighting, pot fillers, and cabinet pulls.
