As we step into 2025, the modern kitchen is transforming into a space that fuses style, technology, sustainability and functionality - making convenience and responsibility top of list.
To help keep you (and your kitchen) up to date, we've pulled together these top kitchen ideas 2025 to provide some fresh inspiration for your next project. Whether you want to add some new taps or completely revamp the style of your kitchen, you're sure to find something you'll like.
Warm metallic taps
One of the biggest trends we expect to see in 2025 is the increasing popularity of statement tap finishes. Every year we see a bigger variety of vibrant tap finishes being released, which are perfect for anyone who wants to create a kitchen that stands out from the crowd.
When we think about statement finishes, gold is often the first that comes to mind. Gold kitchen taps are vibrant and will add a touch of elegance to your kitchen. Similarly, white kitchen taps can also look stunning when paired with a black sink and are becoming more mainstream.
But this year we expect warmer metals to take centre stage. Bronze kitchen taps are an ideal choice for anyone wanting to add a unique twist to their kitchen. This finish is versatile and can match well with both modern and contemporary kitchens with tap styles available for both aesthetics.
Wellness-focused taps
Convenience is a key factor in all our lives but health and wellness has never been more important than it is in 2025. The controversary around tap water over recent months has meant a stark rise in the demand for water filters, which can turn any standard tap into filtered water. The convenience of boiling water taps has also become a kitchen must-have, especially for those who like to keep surfaces neat and tidy.
The 4 in 1 tap combines a boiling water tap with a filtered water tap and is the must-have accessory for every kitchen. These taps give the convenience of instant boiling water and filtered water within the same package as your domestic hot and cold water. This means no more kettles cluttering up your beautiful kitchen workspaces. You can learn more about this in or handy boiling water tap guide.
Concealed kitchens
In 2025, the concealed kitchen or 'invisible' kitchen is set to be a major trend. This minimalist look is based on the idea to conceal most of your kitchenware as possible and create a sharp, ‘barely there’ finish. People no longer want to fill their kitchens with clutter and accessories, but strip it back to the essentials and have cupboards that blend into the walls behind them - no appliance on show! This trend is similar to ‘slow decor’ which follows the idea to bring everything back to basics creating a calming and fresh finish.
Monochromatic sinks
Creating a seamless flow in kitchens by choosing just one simple shade for sinks, taps and countertops is becoming a huge trend in 2025. Modern kitchens are moving away from the classic stainless steel look to more achromatic shades of black and graphite and gunmetal grey with matching taps and countertops. These clean, understated tones offer timeless appeal while allowing for sleek, seamless coordination with taps and surfaces. Whether it’s a black kitchen sink or a soft grey stone composite, achromatic sinks bring a minimalist edge that’s both versatile and visually striking.
Appliance housing
Storage is being reimagined with purpose-built solutions. It fits in nicely with the concealed kitchen trend and one solution in particular - appliance housing - is going to be a big storage must-have for 2025. Appliance housing is basically specified storage for things like air fryers, microwaves and even coffee machines to live, making sure worktops and surfaces are clutter free.
Storage in general is going to be key this year. Think deep drawers with fancy dividers, vertical pull-outs for spices and trays, corner carousels and integrated recycling bins. Large pantries with pull-out racks and pocket doors are also becoming the norm for any serious cook. This trend reflects a desire for kitchens to work harder and smarter, not just look good!
Eat-in and entertaining spaces
The kitchen remains the social hub of the home. In 2025, design is catering to entertaining with oversized islands, built-in seating and cosy breakfast nooks. These elements provide casual dining options and promote gathering.
Secondary kitchen spaces, such as sculleries or back kitchens, are increasingly popular for hiding meal prep messes, keeping the primary kitchen pristine and guest-ready.
Kitchen towel rails
Traditionally found in bathrooms, more and more people are choosing to install a heated towel rail in their kitchen. Much better than hanging tea towels on oven doors or hooks, a heated towel rail will help keep your kitchen towels dry and fresh for longer.
Statement lighting and mixed fixtures
Lighting is being used to express personality and elevate design. Oversized pendant lights, sculptural chandeliers and layered lighting plans (ambient, task, and accent) are all key.
When it comes to fixtures like brassware, uniform finishes are out. Mixing metals like polished nickel with antique brass or matt black adds contrast and modernity.
Butler sinks
Despite the fact their style has been around for centuries, the Butler sink is still increasing in popularity. Their stunning minimalist lines still look great in a modern home and their large capacity gives you a lot of space to work.
Although we love the traditional white finish, you'll increasingly find Butler sinks in more modern finishes including fluted white, copper, granite and black.
This style of sink is our top selling range this year making that country and traditional aesthetic still a prominent design feature for kitchens.
Colour Pops
You can also stay on trend this year by adding some pops of colour to your kitchen rather than sticking to one overall shade. Whether it's a vibrant splashback, bright accessories or a colourful tap, you can add some character without having to commit to full colour schemes.
That concludes our roundup of the top 2025 kitchen ideas! If you want some more kitchen inspiration, take a look at our Country Kitchen, Industrial Kitchen, Scandinavian Kitchen and Rose Gold Kitchen Ideas.
