Grooved Details:
Stacey Cobley, senior designer at luxury kitchen brand Harvey Jones, sees an uptick in texture in kitchens in 2025. “Giving structure to a kitchen with raised elements creates a stunning, simple space with interesting edges. The subtle grooves of the ribs catch the light beautifully, making them a versatile element that will fit into both modern and classic interiors.”
Integration into outdoor areas:
According to the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) and its 2025 Trend Outlook report, spaces that straddle the line between indoors and outdoors are becoming increasingly common, especially elaborate outdoor kitchens. “Increasingly, designs are blending indoor and outdoor spaces to encourage social engagement and a connection to nature. Advances in materials support this desire through improved durability and aesthetics.“
Dinettes:
At Colby, we’ve also seen a significant increase in requests for cozy dining nooks. “Separating the dining area from the kitchen is an effective way to create a quiet, comfortable living area, providing a perfect, versatile environment for family meals or busy breakfast times. This helps reduce noise and clutter when preparing food in the kitchen, and often makes more efficient use of space than a full dining room. Make use of bay windows and unused corners and add personal touches with panelling, colorful upholstery and bench seats.”
