Furthermore, one of the main benefits of being a Surrey kitchen company is that we get an excellent insight into what London homeowners are looking for.

As we kick off 2025, we’ve decided now would be a perfect time to talk about some of the trends we see sweeping modern kitchen design as well as some of our predictions for the year to come.

The Return of The Cosy Kitchen

If there’s one word that dominated almost all design for most of the 2010s – from interior decor to software logos – it was minimalism.

In the era of iPhones and electric cars, it’s no surprise the silicon valley aesthetic caught on as strongly as it did. What might come as a surprise, however, is the way in which 2020s designers are rejecting that style in the name of comfort.

In the last couple of years we’ve noticed a trend away from stark lines and bold shapes, towards cosy colour palettes and a desire for a sense of homeliness.

In practice, this means more wood textures and warm materials. It also means saying goodbye to the menagerie of gadgets and hello to the cook book nook.

The Mix & Match

Perhaps the most surprising trend we’re seeing at the moment is a willingness to combine styles. Where once a kitchen was either contemporary or timeless, in 2025 there seems to be an urge to fuse these elements together and create a sort of best of both worlds.

Although homeowners appreciate elegance and simplicity they also want a space that feels more tailored and unique to themselves with plenty of vibrant, ornamental touches.

Out of Sight Out of Mind

Last but certainly not least, it seems that this year’s #1 solution to a cluttered kitchen is that old classic: put it in a cupboard.

Open storage solutions have been popular in recent years but this is a trend that’s well and truly shifting. Homeowners are increasingly reporting that open storage solutions are difficult to clean, especially if you’re making plans in a hurry and need to get your kitchen looking nice quickly.

Now, we’re not so sure that hiding the clutter is always the answer but this does highlight a desire to have a healthy mix of storage solutions.
