Read to the end to find out the latest in custom kitchen trends and how you can build a customized home that checks all the boxes.
NATURAL AND RECYCLED COUNTERTOPS
Natural stone countertops are big in 2025. Look for marble, granite, and quartzite countertops. These sustainable countertops are a smart investment since they are long-lasting and recyclable.
Recycled glass countertops are another eco-friendly and sustainable option that is trending in kitchen design for 2025. Recycled glass countertops make a great conversation starter and come in several gorgeous colors to complement your kitchen cabinetry and pallet.

CLUTTER-FREE CABINETRY
With open-concept floor plans still stealing the show home owners are looking for visually pleasing, clutter-free kitchens that can quickly be converted into a sterile and great looking space.
Sleek design and concealed kitchens are trending in kitchen design. Look for flush cabinetry, no-show hardware, and tucked away appliance garages. Ask your home designer to add sliding doors or pocket doors so you can hide areas of your kitchen when they’re not in use. Consider installing wood tambor doors like these from Cabinetparts.com.
Consider adding a butlers’ pantry with a second fridge, sink, and dishwasher. Another great option is allocating more square footage to your kitchen pantry and decking it out with plenty of counter space to help keep your main kitchen looking photo-ready.

ECO FRIENDLY APPLIANCES
Choose eco-friendly appliances that are made from recycled materials or energy efficient appliances with high Energy Star ratings. Look for models that offer water saving features.
When buying a new fridge, look for one that uses GreenFreeze or hydrocarbon technology.
SMART KITCHEN DEVICES
If you’re on board with the smart home technology trend, look to incorporate smart devices in your kitchen to streamline your workflow and make your life simpler. One controversial new device is the smart fridge which uses wi-fi to produce a shopping list based on your shopping and eating habits. If this sounds like something that you’d use, consider purchasing a wi-fi oven that’s compatible with your smart fridge.
I myself question these smart home trends, but then again how great would it be to preheat the oven from the couch? My shopping lists are already managed by my delivery services, but for families on a strict diet, a smart fridge could be a life-changing upgrade that could potentially free up hours of valuable time.
CUSTOMIZED KITCHEN ISLAND
If you can think about how you’d like to use your kitchen island, your creative home designer can make it happen! If you dream of using this space as an extra study or work area, your home designer can add extra outlets and USB connectors. For homeowners looking for some appealing symmetry and free up counter space for other uses, adding a sleek cooktop or a built-in sink may be a great option here. Let your home designer know how you’ll use this space so they can include plenty of thoughtful built-in storage to maximize functionality of your kitchen island.

LIGHTING
Ask your designer about task lighting for your kitchen island and other often used areas. You can also include accent lighting like backlit backsplashes or under-cabinet lighting. Add tunnel lights or sky lights for ambient lighting sources. Your home designer can offer 3D renderings of your home and custom kitchen so you can observe how natural light interacts with this space.
TEXTURES AND FINISHES
Textured walls and ceilings are trending in 2025. Shiplap walls, exposed brick, or textured plaster help create a one-of-a-kind space that feels raw and edgy and injects personality into your home’s center.
Mix metal finishes like nickel, brass, and bronze to achieve visual depth and an aesthetically dynamic look to your kitchen space. You can also complement the beauty of natural stone or tile work with understanded finishes that help the gorgeous natural material shine through.
