In 2025, the latest kitchen design trends are no longer just reserved for sprawling, traditional homes on foundations. These styles are now making their way into tiny homes, park models, and modular homes, allowing for stylish, modern, and functional kitchens regardless of square footage. Here are the top trends to watch for in the coming year:
1. All White is Out, Cream is In
The era of all-white kitchens is coming to a close. In 2025, we're seeing a shift toward softer, creamier tones that bring warmth and a welcoming ambiance to the heart of the home. One of our favorite shades this year is Alabaster by Sherwin Williams (SW 7008). It's the perfect neutral that brings a hint of warmth without overpowering the space, making it ideal for tiny homes where every inch counts.
2. Embracing Warm Cabinet Tones
Gone are the days of cold, stark cabinetry. The move toward warm cabinet tones is taking center stage, with rich woods like walnut and oak adding a natural, inviting feel to the kitchen. For a sleek, modern twist, opt for slab-front cabinets that provide a streamlined and minimalist look. These warm, earthy tones can instantly make any kitchen—big or small—feel like home.
3. Two-Toned Cabinetry
Two-tone cabinets are a trend that's gaining momentum and is perfect for creating visual interest in a compact kitchen. Mixing and matching colors between upper and lower cabinets can break up the monotony and add depth. For instance, try pairing cream upper cabinets with darker, warm-toned lower cabinets to achieve a balanced and sophisticated look.
4. Countertop Backsplashes: Elevating Design Continuity
Why stop at just countertops? In 2025, we're seeing more homeowners extend their countertop material up the wall to create a seamless backsplash. One of our favorite materials for this trend is the luxurious Taj Mahal Quartzite, which adds a timeless elegance to any space. If sourcing natural stone is a challenge, Wilsonart Glencoe is a fantastic alternative that offers the same polished look at a fraction of the cost. This approach not only simplifies the design but also makes for easy cleaning—especially important in compact kitchens.
5. Brass Accents Everywhere
Brass is back and better than ever! This year, brass fixtures, hardware, and accents are taking the kitchen design world by storm. Whether it’s cabinet pulls, faucets, or lighting fixtures, brass adds a touch of sophistication and timeless charm. It pairs beautifully with warm cabinetry tones and creamy hues, giving even the smallest kitchens a luxurious feel.
These trends prove that no matter the size of your home, you can create a kitchen that’s both functional and fashion-forward. Tiny homes, park models, and modular homes can now showcase the same design elegance as larger, traditional homes—because everyone deserves a kitchen that feels like the heart of the home.
