Kitchen Trends 2025
Kitchen trends in 2025 are no longer just about choosing a pretty color: we are looking for multi-functional, sustainable, and technologically invisible spaces. In this guide, you will discover the tones, layouts, and materials that lead the year, along with practical tips to apply them in your kitchen project with Decoluxe, so you can make decisions with the same confidence with which you stir a sauce.
Color palette that dominates 2025
Deep greens (forest, sage, and eucalyptus) are the stars of 2025 kitchens because they connect with nature and generate a feeling of calm, especially when combined with stone-look countertops or matte black wine coolers. Designers point out that they function as “the new neutral”: balancing both warm wood grains and bronze metals.
On the other side of the coin come chocolate browns (Pantone “Mocha Mousse”) and warm neutrals (sand, taupe, cream) that replace clinical white and provide a “visual hug” much sought after in open spaces.
For accents, 2025 rescues petroleum blues and dark aquamarine which, used on the island or in display cabinets, provide sophistication without stealing the spotlight; the key is to contrast them with brushed brass handles or black profiles. Large-format porcelain countertops in a satin finish further enhance these high-impact tones.
Maintain the proportion of 70% base tone, 20% contrast, 10% metallic accent so that the palette does not become “heavy”.
Social ergonomics
Open kitchen & breakfast bar
Kitchens that merge with the living room continue to gain ground, but now integrate breakfast bars at medium height that serve as an express dining room, teleworking area, or cocktail bar. The trend responds to the desire to “cook without isolating oneself,” according to studies by La Cuisine International.
Dual kitchen / scullery
The new aspirational symbol is the “dirty kitchen” or scullery: a secondary space (often behind a sliding door) where frying, baking, and mess occur, leaving the main area spotless for receiving visitors. The Times notes that these second kitchens have gone from mansions to medium-sized works thanks to compact modular furniture.
Multifunction islands
In 2025, the island is no longer just a countertop: it incorporates a hob with extractor, auxiliary sink, hidden storage and, in many cases, mobile modules that slide to expand the surface when a dinner is held. The firm Nolte summarizes the concept as “24/7 transforming furniture”.
Maintain between 4 m and 7.9 m the sum of sink-hob-refrigerator distances; outside that range, the displacement is uncomfortable.
Emerging materials and surfaces
Large format porcelain
6-12 mm slabs imitate Calacatta marble or burnt cement without visible joints and with resistance to stains, bumps and UV, ideal for extending the countertop on the front and achieving a “monolith” effect.
Terrazzo and premium recycled materials
Terrazzo returns with chips of glass or recovered marble; combined with low-emission resins, it offers a retro-modern and sustainable finish.
Noble wood and fluted textures
Honey oak, walnut and treated pine are presented in fluted fronts that add depth without using handles, reinforcing the organic minimalist aesthetic.

Technology and invisible integration
Panel-ready appliances: refrigerators, dishwashers, and wine coolers that “disappear” behind doors with the same finish as the furniture, creating totally uniform walls.
Hobs with integrated extractor: the definitive solution for islands without a visible hood; models with boiling sensors stop the smoke and can be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Smart lighting: voice-adjustable LED strips, pre-programmed scenes (“mise en place”, “intimate dinner”) and presence sensors in plinths.
Pop-up sockets and Qi chargers hidden in the countertop avoid cables and keep the surface clean.
Integrating panelable appliances revalues housing by 3-5% in the premium segment, according to real estate consultants cited by UAKC.
