Acclaimed American chef Julia Child once said, "There's no end to imagination in the kitchen." Who are we to disagree with such an icon? The kitchen is the heart of the home and is often the setting for some of our fondest memories with friends and family.
As such, it's a room that should reflect your personality. It should be warm, welcoming, and a space you love to spend time in. If your kitchen is starting to feel a little tired and in need of some TLC, then perhaps it's time for a kitchen makeover.
Each year, we predict the kitchen trends set to dominate the next 12 months, and 2025 is no different. Without further ado, here are the 2025 trends to give you the kitchen design ideas you need to get started.
Bold Colours and Unique Patterns
There was a growing trend in the design sphere of minimalist kitchens that combined metallic finishes with cool colours, and the result was often a cold space that could feel generic. Your kitchen should be a reflection of your personality. Someone you know should walk in and know immediately that this kitchen belongs to you.
So, for 2025, we're predicting a shift towards bold colours and unique patterns that allow us to create kitchens that are authentically us! Choose a dramatic accent wall packed with charm and character to captivate guests.
We love how two of our customers have embraced bold and beautiful in their kitchens. The peacock design elevates the space, while the leopard print creates a cosy separation between the dining area and the kitchen, perfect for a catch-up with friends over coffee.
Fresh Fine Art

There's a tendency to think of the kitchen as a messy room. And while that's true sometimes, it doesn't mean you can't enhance the space with spectacular artwork. A simple plain wall can be transformed into a breathtaking display of beautiful art that becomes the focal point for the whole room.
It's something unexpected that will wow guests and give the room a feeling of grandeur and elegance. We're not suggesting you have the Mona Lisa above the microwave. However, the right design can subtly complement your colour scheme while still bringing character into the room.
For kitchen design inspiration, look at how one of our customers has harnessed mesmerising art from Monet to enhance their kitchen. Using an innovative backsplash for the sink and hob elevates the space. With the right material, it will remain in excellent condition even despite accidental food splashes during cooking.
Out of This World
Speaking of innovative backsplashes brings us to a 2025 kitchen trend we're very excited about. The celestial theme has been growing in popularity in different rooms of the house, but we're very intrigued by some designers who are bringing it into the kitchen.
It's a bit boho, a little zodiac, but the result is breathtaking—deep shades of blue and purple swirl together, evoking a celestial ambience that sparks creativity and imagination.
A space theme offers a rich array of colours, from deep blues and purples to bright whites and silvers. This palette can add depth and atmosphere to the kitchen, making it a vibrant space for culinary creativity.
Creative Coloured Tile

Tiles are a staple element in kitchen design, offering functionality and the opportunity to infuse vibrant colour into the space. Classic white tiles can sometimes create a cold and industrial ambience, which is perhaps why we are beginning to see a shift towards bold, captivating colours in tile designs, which can transform the kitchen into a lively and inviting area.
With an extensive selection of hues and patterns, coloured tiles can seamlessly complement any design style—whether sleek modern lines, charming rustic elements, or a more eclectic mix. These tiles can serve as stunning focal points that draw the eye or act as cohesive threads that harmonise various design components throughout the kitchen.
Incorporating coloured tiles can be a positive long-term decision because it allows for creative tweaks without overwhelming the overall aesthetic. They are versatile and can easily complement future styles to reflect evolving trends.
Embracing Nature

Integrating jungle themes into interior design allows for a fascinating blend of nature within our living spaces, fostering an atmosphere that is both calming and invigorating. This approach not only evokes a sense of relaxation but also encourages a deeper appreciation for fresh, wholesome ingredients, potentially sparking a newfound passion for cooking.
One striking way to infuse your kitchen with this vibrant aesthetic is through jungle-themed wallpaper. Create a captivating focal point and transform your kitchen into a unique sanctuary from everyday life that stands out from conventional designs.
The lush patterns elevate the overall ambiance, allowing you to showcase your individual personality and creative flair. This design choice offers an opportunity for self-expression, making your home a true reflection of your love for the natural world and your culinary interests.
Elegant Marble (Sort of)
Marble has been a favourite in kitchens all over the world for as long as we can remember. It's an expensive material to source and install, so many of us are being a little creative when it comes to marble.
Marble effect wallpaper can bring the look and aesthetic of marble into your kitchen for a fraction of the cost. It's a great way to trick the eye into thinking it's natural marble while still benefiting from the elegance and luxury that marble brings to a space.
Some might say it's cheating, but we're all for getting the most for our kitchens with the available space and resources! Other surface texture wallpapers can transform a kitchen without the need for significant renovation, like this Union Jack brick-style.
