Care-Kter Design & Remodeling Releases 2025 Kitchen Trends Report

Care-Kter Design & Remodeling has released its 2025 Kitchen Trends Report, outlining the design choices, material preferences, and layout selections most commonly requested in recent remodeling projects. The report is based on project data collected from 2023 through early 2025 and reflects broader shifts in how households approach kitchen planning, functionality, and long-term investment. The findings indicate that kitchens are increasingly being designed as multiuse spaces shaped by daily routines and practical needs rather than decorative trends alone.
The report shows a strong movement toward open and integrated layouts. Families are increasingly requesting kitchens that connect to dining and living areas, a direction supported by national studies demonstrating a long-term shift toward flexible common spaces. L-shaped and U-shaped layouts are noted as the most frequently chosen configurations, with large islands playing a central role in both food preparation and family interaction. These islands often include practical additions such as expanded seating, concealed appliances, or additional storage features.
Design preferences identified in the report point to a blend of modern simplicity and transitional warmth. Project data shows that streamlined cabinetry, neutral palettes, and disguised storage continue to influence homeowner decisions. At the same time, many households are adding wood accents, textured materials, or decorative tilework to create visual interest. This balance reflects a preference for calm, uncluttered spaces that still retain individuality and depth.
The report highlights a noticeable shift in color selection. Warmer tones such as muted greens, soft blues, and earthy neutrals are replacing the all-white color schemes that dominated earlier design cycles. These tones appear in cabinetry, walls, and shelving features, contributing to a more grounded aesthetic. Hardware preferences are also evolving, with matte black fixtures and brass accents becoming consistent choices across a wide range of remodeling projects.
Cabinet trends demonstrate continued demand for clean, flat-panel profiles as well as increasing interest in two-tone arrangements. Lighter upper cabinets combined with darker lower cabinets have become a defining look for many renovations. Storage optimization remains a primary focus, leading to higher demand for pull-out shelving, hidden waste systems, custom organizers, and expanded pantry solutions. These features align with national data showing an increase in household spending on organizational improvements.
Countertop selections for 2025 continue to favor quartz because of its durability, maintenance benefits, and variety of available patterns. Natural stone remains a steady preference among homeowners seeking unique veining and organic variation, while sustainable materials such as recycled composites are gaining gradual traction. Waterfall edges appear frequently in recent projects, providing a continuous visual line that emphasizes the architectural form of the island.
Flooring choices in the report reflect a balance between natural appearance and everyday durability. Hardwood remains a popular option for households seeking warmth and texture. Luxury vinyl plank continues to rise in demand due to its cost efficiency, water resistance, and visual similarity to natural wood. Porcelain tile maintains a strong presence among homeowners who prefer low-maintenance surfaces that replicate stone-style finishes. The report also notes renewed interest in patterned tile as families incorporate geometric and globally inspired designs to add character.
Customization is identified as a significant trend. Homeowners are increasingly tailoring kitchen layouts and appliances to suit specific routines, including expanded pantries, professional-grade cooking equipment, beverage stations, and built-in workspaces. These features reflect broader demographic trends showing families relying on kitchens for activities such as studying, organizing, and entertaining across age groups.
Sustainability continues to influence decision-making as households adopt energy-efficient appliances, LED lighting, low-flow fixtures, and responsibly sourced cabinetry materials. These preferences align with national research showing sustained interest in environmentally conscious renovation practices.
