Rotpunkt 2025 Kitchen Trends Predictions


Matt Phillips, Head of UK Operations at Rotpunkt says, “Meeting individual needs and values, the UK home has evolved to the point where the kitchen has left behind the need for a separate dining room. Instead, multi-use spaces that are open to the main kitchen and social areas are now standard practice in the modern home, with a comfort-forward design style and sustainable living at their core. Earthy shades of greenish-blue, terracotta reds, soft browns, and varying hues of deep purple are emerging as a popular choice in 2025. In terms of material, look out for a broad mix of dark and light hardwood timbers through to modern frame options, fluted designs in wood and glass, and metal décors. Natural walnut in shades of creamy white, light brown and dark chocolate are the wood of choice in 2025, with oak still considered as the next best alternative for variety and texture.”

Abode leans into rising trend for dark kitchen mixer taps


Paul Illingworth, Design Manager at Abode explains, “As tone and texture becomes increasingly important in design, modern mixer taps in darker finishes like black and steel are now being considered a go-to for enriching the kitchen, alongside raw materials such as stone and wood. From stainless steel and new PVD finishes in matt black and gunmetal, the latest market trends are erring towards statement taps where the finish is as strong as the design.


In fact, black has become a neutral colour in interior design for providing a unique balance between simplicity and sophistication. Helping customers to create practical and beautiful kitchen spaces that reflect both home and personal taste, the most popular mixer taps right now are highlighting dark metal and PVD finish options to provide new possibilities when pairing essential hardware alongside kitchen appliances, furniture handles, and light fittings.”

utility room or dedicated laundry away from the main kitchen living space. Style and finish will also tune into the latest lifestyle trends, with a preference for both classic and contemporary furniture collections, which bring order, warmth and the feelings of tranquillity. Versatile in-frame Shaker designs will bring a contemporary edge to the classic kitchen space whereas handleless units will cater to modern décors, fusing organic elements like stone and timber to provide a rich, layered effect.”
