In 2025, kitchen designs return to their roots while incorporating modern updates. Vintage is being reinvented with new touches. Wood and reassuring colors adapt to contemporary designs. Want to know more? I present you with the 15 kitchen design trends that will shape the heart of the home in the coming months.

1. European Farmhouse Kitchen

Instagram

This year, farmhouse kitchens are getting a touch more refined, drawing inspiration from the French countryside. While traditional is full of rustic details, the European version is more sophisticated. Light fixtures add a touch of modernity, while glass and gold metal accents in hardware and accessories preserve the cozy feel of yesteryear.

Large windows, which provide an open and airy atmosphere, replace the traditional compartmentalized style in the European farmhouse kitchen space. The appliances are discreet. There is also a warm chromatic mix of beiges, then wood and metallic tones like gold and brass. These shades contrast with last year’s, which limited the color palette to black, white, and blue.

2. Double Island

Instagram

The double island trend stands out for its functionality. Two oversized centerpieces take up space in the kitchen and meet the needs of culinary preparation. They constitute an essential activity center by becoming a privileged place to gather loved ones during receptions. There is storage and built-in appliances all around and inside. 

3. Combination of Materials

One of the keys to kitchen design in 2025 is the bold combination of materials. Whether wood pairs with glass or metals like copper and bronze, the design focuses on creating a dynamic and nuanced decor. Combinations of different textures and finishes, such as matte and shiny surfaces or rough and smooth materials, are in. 

4. Countertop Storage Cabinets

In this trend, the cabinets rest directly on the kitchen counter instead of being suspended, maximizing space and enhancing the room’s decor. Typically, these structures consist of panels and glass, allowing a view of the dishes and accessories inside. Some storage allows you to hide small appliances while keeping them within reach.  

5. Seaside Style

Instagram

With this trend, we are transported to the shores, seaside landscapes, and relaxing beaches. The coastal-inspired kitchen turns to soft colors (white, beige, pastel blue, and light gray), as well as natural materials (rattan, wood paneling, and linen). The idea is to design a comforting and nature-connected environment that evokes vacations. 

7. Touches of Color in the Kitchen

This trend transports us to shores, seaside landscapes, and relaxing beaches. They assert themselves with deep blues, among others, which bring new energy and wake up the kitchen. Greens (from sage to forest) are more soothing. Pigments like the emblematic orange of the 70s, blush pink, terracotta brown, and pale gray enrich the palette of possibilities.

8. Vintage Accessories on display

Instagram

Nostalgia and tradition are in the spotlight! We have proof of this with this trend that highlights the heritage of our grandparents. By reusing old everyday objects, we understand that they have lost none of their appeal. It is a beautiful celebration of handmade durability and the simplicity of yesteryear. 

9. Modern Rustic Style

Instagram

We love the modern, rustic style which, you guessed it, combines elements of a modern kitchen with rustic charm. In response to the growing popularity of the raw materials, it features tropical wood, natural stone, concrete, and metal. Textures are welcome! In return, we notice minimalist contemporary furniture, which occupies an important place in the decor.   

10. Glass Light Fixtures

Elegant and timeless glass light fixtures (not frosted) are a must in the kitchen in 2025. Whether you opt for classic globes or special creations, transparent lamps, and pendants highlight the beauty of glass and will surely delight your guests! 

11. The Comeback of Wood

Instagram

The kitchen is once again adorned with noble materials, such as wood, which is no longer necessarily associated with rustic atmospheres. Scandinavian and industrial interiors alike give pride of place to a variety of wood species: oak, walnut, and maple, in light or medium tones. In this sense, we notice the desire to bring warmth to the environment. Wood finishes, raw or worked, match other textures in a place that combines contemporaneity and timelessness. 

12. Grooved Surfaces

Instagram

Sleek designs are enhanced by grooved surfaces. Small, hollowed-out vertical lines create a subtle, yet eye-catching texture in the kitchen. Grooves, whether placed on the front wall of the island or on the cabinets, help to hide the joints. This detail contributes to visual harmony, creating the impression of a continuous, unified area. 

13. Closed Kitchen

After several years of the reign of the famous open spaces, it’s time for a change! The closed kitchen is proving to be a good answer to the quest for privacy. Hidden behind doors, partitions, or walls, the room becomes a quiet corner to prepare meals… and hide potential disorder. Noise and odors are contained, preserving peace and quiet in the rest of the house. This choice of layout offers the advantage of clearly separating the living areas.  

15. Arched Pantry Door or Entrance

With or without a door, arched openings are full of style. They become a focal point in the kitchen and can delimit the space leading to the pantry. The open passage with a curved shape allows more natural light and amplifies the effect of grandeur. Arched doors are just as trendy, whether they are made of wood, glass or metal.
