The June 2025 kitchen design trends highlight a shift towards natural elegance, with an emphasis on earthy tones, sustainable materials, and biophilic elements. By embracing these trends, homeowners can create kitchens that are not only stylish but also promote well-being and environmental consciousness.
Wood Revival
Dark wood finishes are making a comeback in kitchen design, bringing warmth and a sense of luxury. Woods like walnut and oak, especially in matte or honed finishes, are being used for cabinetry and flooring to create rich, comforting interiors.
Natural Design Elements
Integrating natural elements into kitchen design enhances well-being and creates a connection to the outdoors. Features such as maximizing natural light, incorporating indoor plants contribute to a biophilic kitchen environment. This approach not only improves aesthetics but also promotes a calming atmosphere.
Earthy Hues
Colours like terracotta, olive green, and sandy beige are gaining popularity for their ability to create inviting and grounded spaces. These hues pair well with natural materials, adding depth and sophistication to the kitchen. Try the colours Baked Terracotta, Spanish Olive, Aegean Olive, and Sandy Shores from Benjamin Moore to spruce up your kitchen.
