Kitchen trends 2025 – what’s hot?

Whether you’re planning a new kitchen or simply updating your existing one, you may well be looking for inspiration. From supersize fridge-freezers and hidden extractors to the latest colours and finishes, here’s what the experts say will be hot in the year ahead.

Warm, natural colours

Cabinet colour is one of the first things many people consider when looking for kitchen ideas. Associated with sunshine, happiness and positivity, yellow is an increasingly popular choice for the kitchen, says Myers. In addition to the feel-good vibes, a light buttery yellow will brighten up a dark, north facing room. There’s a wide range of yellows to choose from subtle lemons to eye-catching brighter hues that might be better in small doses. 

Combining textures and materials

Multi-functional ovens

The ultimate kitchen status symbol may be a wall-mounted bank of ovens covering a range of functions from steamer to microwave to slow cooker. But lack of space is an issue in many modern kitchens. So, multi-functional ovens that combine a conventional fan function with steam cooking or microwave are highly coveted. Check out the Siemens Wi-fi connected-built in electric single oven with microwave and steam function. Meanwhile, Miele offers combination steam and microwave ovens for healthy cooking and rapid heating. 

Venting induction hobs

Consider upgrading to a venting hob. The days of the cooker hood look numbered. Instead of letting vapours and odours rise in the first place, cooktop extractors draw them away where they are created. The extractor systems are usually built into an island or peninsula and when switched on rise electronically from the work surface, but they can also be part of the cooktop. 

Larder love

The breakfast pantry is another trend likely to continue. It’s typically a half-height cupboard with built-in power sockets, much smaller than a walk-in pantry but still big enough to store small appliances such as a toaster and kettle alongside your favourite teas, coffee and mugs away from the main food prep area.

The coolest fridges

Fully integrated design that keeps the fridge-freezer neatly hidden remains on-trend though you may prefer to make a statement with stainless steel double doors, for example. A freestanding Smeg fridge freezer with its signature curves and retro colours adds character, though it might not suit a streamline kitchen aesthetic. 

When planning a kitchen makeover, the latest appliance trends may not spring immediately to mind, but they are worth considering. People tend to focus on cabinetry, worktops and layout and then choose standard ovens, extractor or fridge as an afterthought, but this means you could be missing out on the latest innovations.
