Kitchen Trends 2025 – A Look Ahead with Roundhouse Design

Explore the latest kitchen trends for 2025, as revealed by Roundhouse Design. From bold worktops with tactile finishes to smart storage ideas, the latest kitchen trends will inspire you to push style boundaries and refine functionality. One kitchen trend that is more of an overall mood than style directive is the absolute rejection of fleeting themes and fashion fads. There’s a clear shift away from fast fashion, with an ever-stronger focus on sustainable, long-lasting choices. This year’s kitchen projects are all about building for the future, and prioritising timeless style and durable materials that won’t end up in landfill anytime soon. So, without further ado, here’s Roundhouse Design round-up of the top kitchen trends that will define 2025.

1 – Suspended storage

Floating above a kitchen island or positioned against the wall, suspended shelving is set to become a defining feature in 2025. This trend has been gaining traction for some time, with Roundhouse having incorporated bespoke solutions into several projects. For example, our Vauxhall project features an antique brass frame with glass shelving, while the Munro  project (see above pic) showcases a bold blackened steel frame for an industrial vibe. These designs are practical yet striking, offering a sleek alternative to traditional wall cabinets while allowing light to flow freely through the space.

The appeal of suspended shelving lies in its ability to introduce complementary materials, such as matching metallic finishes on handles and hardware, creating a cohesive and layered aesthetic.

2 – Hidden technology

Seamless integration of appliances and technology remains a significant trend, as kitchens increasingly resemble stylish living spaces rather than traditional work areas. By concealing ovens, refrigerators, and other tech behind closed doors, the kitchen becomes a serene environment perfect for relaxation or entertaining.

The Vauxhall project is a prime example, with a stack of high-end Gaggenau ovens hidden behind sleek tall cabinetry. Other designs include sliding pocket doors that conceal sink stations and small appliances, ensuring an uncluttered appearance without compromising functionality. This approach highlights the beauty of craftsmanship and design details, enhancing the overall ambience of the space. To learn more about Roundhouse’s design process, discover how we work.

3 – The new way to display

Traditional open shelving is giving way to beautifully crafted glass display cabinets. These glazed units offer the same sense of openness while protecting contents from dust. Ideal for showcasing ceramics, glassware, and decorative pieces, they seamlessly combine functionality with aesthetic appeal.

Roundhouse places these display cabinets at the heart of the kitchen, making everyday essentials easily accessible while encouraging a carefully curated approach to design. This isn’t the place for cereal boxes or small appliances—think thoughtfully chosen pieces that elevate the room’s overall look.

4 – Stones get bolder

Step aside, pale grey marbles – bold, high-energy worktops are on the rise. As daring homeowners embrace statement materials, these standout surfaces are already making waves, delivering undeniable impact and transforming kitchens into true showstoppers. We’re still obsessed with natural stones but kitchen trends 2025 signal a significant shift away from classic white marbles like Carrara, Statuario, and Thassos. Instead, the spotlight is on stones in bold, vibrant colours, intricate patterns, and rich textures, reflecting a growing appetite for more dynamic and expressive surface designs. It’s not just the type of stone that’s evolving – finishes are being scrutinised, too. Requests for more tactile, sensory surfaces, like this leathered Verde Fantastico quartzite, are coming in fast, as the design-savvy seek surfaces with a luxurious, velvety texture that feel as good as they look.

5 – Fresh green

No kitchen trends 2025 round up would be complete without a colour forecast, and this year all the interior design trends forecasters are pointing towards Pistachio Green. Striking the perfect balance between warm and cool, this lively, nature-inspired glorious green breathes fresh energy into kitchen design, offering a vibrant and refreshing alternative to the moody grey-greens that have recently dominated the kitchen colour trend charts. Whether on cabinetry or as a striking accent wall or splashback, Pistachio delivers an uplifting pop of colour without overpowering the space. Its understated elegance pairs beautifully with soft tones like cream, stone, and pale pink, while also creating a stunning contrast with dark-stained timbers.
