Embarking on a kitchen renovation is no small feat. It requires time and patience, with endless deliberation and countless hours spent flipping through magazines and curating vision boards, not to mention the pretty sum left to pay at the end. So, there's nothing worse than going through all of this just to end up with a kitchen that looks dated by the end of the year. But with a trend cycle that moves faster than a caffeinated cheetah, it can, at times, feel almost impossible to keep up with. To make the task easier, we’ve consulted designers and kitchen experts to give us the definitive guide to the outdated kitchen trends of 2025.
Of course, personal style cannot be predicted or trumped by trends, but if, like us, you struggle to narrow down all the latest kitchen trends to only the ones you love, this list can act as a helpful tool. Not just dictated by trends, our experts have also considered what materials have been proven to last and which ones have shown themselves to be nothing more than pretty headaches. While that stark white Carrara marble worktop may look amazing, we promise you’ll end up resenting it when just the sight of a lemon anywhere near your surface is enough to cause heart palpitations. The durability of the materials you choose to use in your kitchen is of utmost importance, even more so than anywhere else in your home, as this is the space you’re likely to spend the majority of your time in.
