Kitchen organization is always top of mind at Classic Kitchens & Design, and the rise of concealed kitchens is a trend we can get on board with. To keep countertops clutter-free, consider adding an appliance garage or pocket-style doors to discreetly hide everyday essentials. The result is a sleek minimalist look, perfect for open-concept kitchens and smaller spaces. These smart solutions ensure your kitchen stays neat and functional, making cooking and entertaining a joy. As they say, out of sight out of mind.
Modern Traditional Style

Breaking away from the long-reigning farmhouse kitchen trend, modern traditional style kitchens have surged in popularity this year and will remain a top choice in 2025. The fusion of contemporary and traditional elements come together to create a unique and eclectic look. Think wooden cabinets adorned with sleek hardware or a contemporary light fixture above a traditional marble-top island. Shaker-style cabinets, with their flat, recessed panels, are also making a strong comeback. Their timeless design easily adapts to any kitchen, and when finished in bold colours with metallic hardware, they blend perfectly into a modern aesthetic.
All About Islands

Multi-purpose islands and double islands have become key elements in modern kitchen design. Whether you’re enhancing kitchen flow or seeking storage solutions, a custom island can be transformative. Double islands improve traffic flow in the space, allowing you to move nimbly through your kitchen. They can also offer distinct zones for food prep and socializing—install a prep sink on one and ample seating on the other. If space is limited, a customized multi-purpose island can maximize functionality. Add shelving for storage and outlets for small appliances, or use them to charge your gadgets if you plan to use the island as an office space.
Fluted Details

One of the hottest trends in kitchen design, fluted details are making waves across a variety of elements. From cabinets and islands to backsplashes, fluting adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to any space. This subtle yet striking detail creates a sense of texture and depth, enhancing visual interest in the space. As homeowners seek unique ways to personalize their kitchens, fluted details are becoming a go-to choice for adding a refined, timeless quality.
Natural Wood Tones

Wood is the new white in today’s kitchen style, with natural, high-texture wood having a resurgence. Cabinets and islands made from rich oak or walnut are dominating design trends as homeowners look to bring a touch of nature indoors. The warm tones of these woods not only add coziness but also lend an air of sophistication to the space. Beyond aesthetics, wood’s versatility allows it to complement a wide range of colour palettes and design styles, making it a timeless choice for modern kitchens. As more people embrace organic design, wood is becoming a must-have element in kitchen renovations.
A Bold Spin on Earthy Colours

Kitchen colour trends for 2025 are taking a bold turn towards nature-inspired palettes. Verdant greens, deep inky blues, and rich terracotta tones are making a statement on cabinetry, infusing kitchens with warmth and depth. These earthy hues ground the space and create a sense of serenity and connection to the natural world. Perfect for those looking to make a bold yet timeless design choice, these colours bring a fresh and inviting energy to any kitchen.
