It's almost 2025 (we can hardly believe it), which means the world of interior design is preparing for the trends of the upcoming year.
In the realm of color, Pantone has announced "Moss Mocha" as the color of the year, and that's just the beginning. So, what can we expect in the kitchen design sector in the coming year?
Kitchens will never go out of style (regardless of what your Wolt order history might suggest!). We turned to some prominent companies to provide their forecasts for the trends that will dominate kitchen design in the coming year. And not a word about white kitchens.
Rich and Dramatic Colors
Natural Materials and Textures
Secondary Kitchens ("Dirty Kitchens")
The secondary kitchen, also known as a scullery or pantry, is becoming particularly popular. This space is designated for prep and cooking, allowing the main kitchen to remain tidy and ready for hosting. The secondary kitchen typically includes a sink, countertops, storage for small appliances, and sometimes even an additional oven or dishwasher. This trend enables clutter to be kept out of sight while maintaining aesthetics in the main kitchen.
Smart Kitchen Technology
The kitchen of 2025 will be smarter and more connected. Appliances with AI capabilities, such as ovens that recognize food types and adjust cooking methods accordingly, will become commonplace. In addition, voice-activated devices, smartphone integration, and UV sanitization features will offer convenience and health benefits in the kitchen.
Large and Functional Islands
Kitchen islands will continue to grow in size, serving not only as work and cooking surfaces but also as seating and hosting areas. These islands will become the hub of kitchen activity and will be designed to adapt to the changing needs of families.
Open Shelving
People love collecting—whether it’s art, dishes, or beautiful decorative objects. With this refreshed appreciation comes the need to display everything ideally. More and more customers want open storage displays that allow them to showcase their collectibles, some of which are used daily.
The year 2025 brings an intriguing fusion of advanced technology and warm, inviting designs tailored to modern users' needs. The kitchen is evolving into a versatile space, combining cooking, hosting, and smart technology while maintaining aesthetics and a homely feel.
