Kitchen Design Trends We’re Actually Excited About (and the Ones We’re Over)

Trends come and go, but great design? That’s timeless.
We don’t just follow trends, we translate them into livable, lasting spaces tailored to you. Whether you’re dreaming up your new kitchen design trend or itching to refresh an outdated one, here’s our take on the styles worth leaning into, and the ones it might be time to leave behind.
1. Warm Wood Tones
Rich walnut, white oak are bringing a soft, organic touch back into modern kitchens. These tones warm wood cabinets and add beautiful contrast against stone counters.
2. Mixed Materials
Gone are the days of matchy-matchy finishes. We love layering metals (brushed brass + matte black), combining wood and quartz, and pairing rustic textures with sleek cabinetry for a curated feel.
3. Statement Hoods
The range hood has officially entered its main character era. Whether it's a plaster finish, wood-wrapped, or custom metal, we’re designing hoods that command attention and elevate the entire space.
4. Clever Storage
From appliance garages to hidden spice drawers, we’re here for smart storage that works as beautifully as it looks.
Kitchen Design Trends We’re Saying Goodbye To
X All-White Everything. We’ll always love a clean palette, but the stark, sterile white kitchen is losing its shine. We're seeing a shift toward layered neutrals and creamy off-whites that feel more relaxed and welcoming.
X Open Shelving Overload: One or two open shelves? Still charming. Entire walls of exposed dishes and décor? Not so much. They’re hard to maintain and visually cluttered for most real-life kitchens.
X Farmhouse Everything full-on farmhouse is starting to feel a little played out, especially in homes that don’t match the style. Modern rustic? Yes. Faux-rural overload? Maybe not.
Final Thoughts
Trends should work for you, not the other way around. The best kitchens aren’t the most “on-trend,” they’re the ones that reflect your taste, your lifestyle, and the way you want to feel at home.
Before you start pinning the latest viral backsplash, ask yourself. Does it inspire you, or is it just everywhere right now?
