Interior trend alert: Bringing the kitchen garden look indoors

Home Beautiful has been keeping a close eye on the interior design trends that are set to capture our hearts and homes in 2025 and beyond. We’ve pinpointed four distinct looks we believe will rise in popularity. We’ve already detailed why we believe Renaissance Red will burn bright in the coming year. We’ve taken you back to black and white with the gingham-loving Check Mate. Now it’s time to reveal what the Kitchen Garden trend is and why it’ll be filling our homes with natural beauty.

The garden inspired kitchen is all about botanical motifs, whether incorporated with arrangements of fresh produce or as printed patterns on decor, especially tableware. “In a post-covid world, we have completely embraced nature, getting back to basics,” explains Elle Lovelock, Home Beautiful editor-in-chief. “We’ve all had a go at growing our own produce and this has extended into decor.” Read on for tips on how you can recreate this interior design trend in your own home.

Interior design trend 2025: Kitchen Garden

There’s nothing quite as calming or revitalising as the inherent beauty of our natural world. From fresh flowers to red-speckled leaves and bundles of ripe fruit and vegetables, the gifts found in our gardens are one of life’s simplest pleasures. Garden inspired kitchen décor understands this, taking timeless botanicals and adding them to our décor, in a move that is as sustainable as it is stylish. “It is a trend but it’s also just a nice way to style what you already have,” explains Lucy Gough, Home Beautiful stylist, of the effortless appeal.

Garden inspired kitchen

The approach can be literal, with baskets or vases of vegetables freshly plucked from the garden, used as decorative arrangements that are perfect in their organic imperfections. “Create still life vignettes out of fresh produce, on kitchen benchtops or dining tables,” suggests Elle. The introduction of nature-inspired patterns then elevates the theme. “We’ve also included botanical motifs on printed textiles, artworks and dinnerware,” adds Elle.

Sustainable decorating

The garden inspired kitchen is more than just a pretty face. The trend also complements the global attempt to reduce waste. “Once you’ve finished with these pieces as displays you can use them in your cooking,” suggests Elle. After all, sometimes good style is all about getting back to basics. “We displayed carrots in a vase with all this greenery,” explains Lucy. “It’s cheaper than flowers but still really stands out.”

Cabbageware style

Earlier this year we covered the trend of cabbageware (and lettuceware), as plates, platters and bowls in the shape of leafy greens burst out of our shopping carts and on to our tables. While not the only example of this nature-loving trend, the use of cabbageware in tablescapes has seen a huge resurgence in recent years, a popularity that the garden inspired kitchen trend embraces. “It’s playful,” says Lucy. “A nod to the kitsch aesthetic of the ’70s with all the cabbage and lettuce plates.” There are many ways you can incorporate this into your home. “Cabbageware can be used as accent pieces, layered dinnerware or even as art in a plate hang,” suggests Elle.

Bring the outdoors in

You don’t have to have a large outdoor area filled with fields just waiting for planting, to have a garden inspired kitchen. Even if you’ve bought your produce from a supermarket or farmer’s market, you can create more rustic appeal by displaying these goods in a woven basket on your benchtop, instead of hidden away inside a pantry. We also added packets of vegetable seeds in our display, perfect whether you’re planting them all at once or only have room to grow one at a time in a pot on the balcony.
