Pale blue kitchens
Pale blue kitchens are not going anywhere for 2025 – in fact in this new year of kitchen remodels, we think this might be the most popular trend. The pastel pale blue kitchen creates a feeling of calm and serenity, in a world where we most certainly need that. See these pale blue kitchens for inspiration. @lucywilliams02 @horwoodphoto

Artistic and unique features
Homeowners are adding additional features to their splashback in place of a large, expansive piece of marble. Through chequerboard or painterly tiles and even wallpaper, create a more individualistic space with your own wonderful creations. @littlegreenepaintcompany

Unique points of interest
Again, it’s all about personalising your kitchen to make it work for you. Adding a curved archway creates an interesting space, while a unique rug under a dining area can add a splash of personality. www.lewhit.com

Inspiration from hospitality
Hospitality will forever inspire trends we see in domestic kitchens. A welcoming space in a restaurant or bar will always have great lighting, so an emphasis on layered lights is crucial to creating ambience. It can also be as simple as LED lighting underneath shelves, or mirrored shelving to reflect light. There’s also the sought-after wine walls, reeded glass cabinetry and party islands. Remember to take pictures of your favourite places, where you might just find the inspiration you need to get the ball rolling. www.blockhousebuild.co.uk

Soft textures
Soft textures and natural materials will never go out of style. Add warmth to your kitchen with a rattan rug, soft lamp shades, curtains, tablecloths or natural stone. www.neptune.com

Earth tones
Earthen colour palettes change with the seasons, with terracotta shades and forest greens accessorising the natural space. @oconnorsofdrumleck

So vein!
If you are incorporating stone or marble in your new kitchen, make it as loud as possible to stand out. Don’t be scared to try something different! Mixing exposed walnut, reeded doors, fresh blue shaker cabinets and a marbled splashback will fill your kitchen with rich layers of texture and colour. www.nakedkitchens.com

Mid-century style
Mid-century style is making a big comeback in 2025. Think clean lines, natural wood tones and bold accents. From nostalgic shades of orange to walnut laminate panelling, this trend recalls your childhood. A kitchen island with square-format tiles and coloured grout, with blue pendant lights by &Tradition, add the finising touch. See inside this mid-century mews in Dublin for some inspiration.

Sustainable materials
It’s paramouunt to think sustainable from start to finish. Interior designer Sara Cosgrove says there is no clear answer about the best eco-friendly materials to use, so do your research. Map the journey where any sustainable materials will have to travel and request less packaging if you know it is not needed. Countertop materials such as Dekton look like real stone, while Caesarstone and Quartzite are also more sustainable choices. The most sustainable route is to simply refresh your kitchen, but sometimes out with the old is more energy efficient, so talk to the experts if you have questions or concerns. www.cosentino.com

Appliances
A new year brings new opportunity to rethink your appliances to ensure you get the most out of your kitchen. To start, the Siemens vented hob has a frying sensor, which means you can choose the temperature you want your hob to be. We have this function on our ovens, so why wouldn’t we want it on our hobs?
Another trend is the air fryer function in ovens. You get the benefits of an air fryer without having an extra appliance on your countertop. It cooks quickly and evenly, which can be an issue with other air fryers. Steam ovens are also trendy at the moment. The Siemens selection has triple functions; baking, roasting and re-heating, so you can get three times as much out of them!
Combi-ovens are still popular as ever, but a lot of us rarely use the top oven, so experts advise placing the two single ovens side by side instead. This means you get the dual function without the hassle of two operations running on top of each other. Watch this space! www.siemens-home.bsh-group.com
