Kitchen Design Trends: 2025

January 16, 2025

The Godwin Design Center has been around long enough to see kitchen trends come and go.

We've seen avocado green appliances turn into stainless steel, farmhouse sinks take center stage, and smart tech evolve from a luxury into a kitchen essential. So, as we look ahead to 2025, we're excited to share what's cooking—pun intended—in the heart of your home.

Whether you're planning a full kitchen remodel, a simple refresh, or just curious about the future, this list of kitchen trends is here to inspire. Grab your coffee (or matcha—we'll get into that later), and let's dive into what 2025 has in store.

Sustainable Fixtures

Let's face it—sustainability is no longer just a trend—it's a lifestyle. In 2025, eco-conscious homeowners will choose fixtures that not only look good but also do good.

Think beyond just swapping out for LED lighting that uses less power to the sink. Water-saving faucets, like those with low-flow technology or motion sensors, are a top choice for conserving water without sacrificing performance.

We're also seeing an uptick in smart fixtures—think touchless faucets that help reduce germs and make cleanup a breeze (especially when your hands are covered in marinara).

But most homeowners will also go a step further and stick to Energy Star-certified appliances when they are ready to upgrade one of their appliances.

Bold, Unexpected Colors

Goodbye, all-white kitchens—2025 is bringing the drama. Homeowners are embracing bolder hues, like deep forest greens, moody blues, and even shades of plum and terracotta. The goal? Creating kitchens with character, warmth, and a touch of personality. For cabinetry, expect to see rich wood tones mixed with painted accents. Even sinks are getting a colorful glow-up. That's right—cast iron and quartz sinks are now available in vibrant finishes, giving you another way to express your unique style.

If you're not ready to commit to a bright kitchen overhaul, consider smaller pops of color through fixtures (like a brushed gold or matte black faucet), tile backsplashes, or statement lighting.

The Multi-Functional Island

The kitchen island has officially evolved. In 2025, it's no longer just a prep station—it's the MVP of the kitchen. We're talking built-in sinks, hidden charging stations, wine coolers, and even integrated induction cooktops. Islands are becoming hubs for cooking, working, and entertaining all in one spot. Homeowners will also opt for larger statement islands that double as dining tables or workspace solutions. The result? A kitchen that's as functional as it is stylish.

And don't forget the plumbing! If you're considering upgrading your island's sink or appliances, the team at Godwin is always here to help with professional installations and expert advice.

Natural Materials and Textures

2025 kitchens are leaning into nature—both in color and material. Stone countertops, like quartzite and soapstone, will replace traditional granite for a more organic look. Pair those counters with wood-paneled cabinetry, textured backsplashes, and natural stone or clay tile floors, and you've got a kitchen that feels grounded, timeless, and effortlessly elegant.

Even the smallest details, like hardware and fixtures, are moving toward warmer, natural finishes. Expect to see matte brass, copper, and oil-rubbed bronze leading the charge.

We love how these natural textures add both beauty and longevity to your kitchen. Plus, materials like stone and wood are durable enough to handle everything life throws at them—from baking messes to family dinners.

Hidden and Integrated Appliances

A clutter-free kitchen is the ultimate goal for 2025, and homeowners will be achieving it by hiding appliances. Integrated fridges, dishwashers, and microwaves blend seamlessly into cabinetry, creating a sleek and uninterrupted look. Another rising star? Appliance garages. These little nooks keep your coffee maker, toaster, and blender tucked away but still easily accessible. It's a perfect solution for those who love clean countertops without sacrificing convenience. If you're considering a remodel, we always recommend planning ahead for plumbing and electrical needs—it's one of those "little" details that makes a big difference when integrating appliances into your kitchen layout.
