Explore the latest kitchen trends for 2025, as revealed by Roundhouse Design. From bold worktops with tactile finishes to smart storage ideas, the latest kitchen trends will inspire you to push style boundaries and refine functionality in your next bespoke kitchen design. One kitchen trend that is more of an overall mood than style directive is the absolute rejection of fleeting themes and fashion fads. There’s a clear shift away from fast fashion, with an ever-stronger focus on sustainable, long-lasting choices. This year’s kitchen projects are all about building for the future, and prioritising timeless style and durable materials that won’t end up in landfill anytime soon. So, without further ado, here’s Roundhouse Design round-up of the top kitchen trends that will define 2025.
Floating above a kitchen island or positioned against the wall, suspended shelving is set to become a defining feature in 2025 kitchen design. This trend has been gaining traction for some time, with Roundhouse incorporating bespoke solutions into several projects. For example, their Vauxhall project features an antique brass frame with glass shelving, while the Munro project showcases a bold blackened steel frame for an industrial vibe. These designs are practical yet striking, offering a sleek alternative to traditional wall cabinets while allowing light to flow freely through the space.
The appeal of suspended shelving lies in its ability to introduce complementary materials, such as matching metallic finishes on handles and hardware, creating a cohesive and layered aesthetic. To explore how these ideas could transform your kitchen, visit one of Roundhouse’s seven showrooms.
Seamless integration of appliances and technology remains a significant trend, as kitchens increasingly resemble stylish living spaces rather than traditional work areas. By concealing ovens, refrigerators, and other tech behind closed doors, the kitchen becomes a serene environment perfect for relaxation or entertaining.
Roundhouse’s Vauxhall project is a prime example, with a stack of high-end Gaggenau ovens hidden behind sleek tall cabinetry. Other designs include sliding pocket doors that conceal sink stations and small appliances, ensuring an uncluttered appearance without compromising functionality. This approach highlights the beauty of craftsmanship and design details, enhancing the overall ambience of the space. To learn more about Roundhouse’s design process, discover how they work.
Traditional open shelving is giving way to beautifully crafted glass display cabinets. These glazed units offer the same sense of openness while protecting contents from dust. Ideal for showcasing ceramics, glassware, and decorative pieces, they seamlessly combine functionality with aesthetic appeal.
Roundhouse places these display cabinets at the heart of the kitchen, making everyday essentials easily accessible while encouraging a carefully curated approach to design. This isn’t the place for cereal boxes or small appliances—think thoughtfully chosen pieces that elevate the room’s overall look.

Step aside, pale grey marbles – bold, high-energy worktops are on the rise. As daring homeowners embrace statement materials, these standout surfaces are already making waves, delivering undeniable impact and transforming kitchens into true showstoppers. We’re still obsessed with natural stones but kitchen trends 2025 signal a significant shift away from classic white marbles like Carrara, Statuario, and Thassos. Instead, the spotlight is on stones in bold, vibrant colours, intricate patterns, and rich textures, reflecting a growing appetite for more dynamic and expressive surface designs. It’s not just the type of stone that’s evolving – finishes are being scrutinised, too. Requests for more tactile, sensory surfaces, like this leathered Verde Fantastico quartzite, are coming in fast, as the design-savvy seek surfaces with a luxurious, velvety texture that feel as good as they look.
No kitchen trends 2025 round up would be complete without a colour forecast, and this year all the interior design trends forecasters are pointing towards Pistachio Green. Striking the perfect balance between warm and cool, this lively, nature-inspired glorious green breathes fresh energy into kitchen design, offering a vibrant and refreshing alternative to the moody grey-greens that have recently dominated the kitchen colour trend charts. Whether on cabinetry or as a striking accent wall or splashback, Pistachio delivers an uplifting pop of colour without overpowering the space. Its understated elegance pairs beautifully with soft tones like cream, stone, and pale pink, while also creating a stunning contrast with dark-stained timbers. Get ready to see Pistachio bring kitchens to life in 2025!

Belgian luxury kitchen appliance brand, Novy, has launched Designer Lighting 2.0, its latest collection of smart touchless gesture-controlled lighting products for the kitchen. The collection includes the Pendant, Shelf and Wall models in a range of new lengths starting from 95cm up to 305cm. In addition, all Designer Lighting 2.0 models are now available in a new Mineral White colourway, together with Mineral Black.
Providing a premium aesthetic for the contemporary kitchen, Novy’s Designer Lighting 2.0 collection has been developed to provide smart lighting solutions for kitchen specialists and interior designers to showcase in their projects. The Pendant is an ideal overhead accompaniment to a Novy vented hob installed within a kitchen island, while the Shelf and Shelf Pro models answer the growing trend for floating shelves as opposed to wall-mounted cabinets in a scheme. The Wall is a further solution that can be used to illuminate a recess in the kitchen or within a home bar, where there is an option to change the colour temperature and hue to create a specific ambience, as required.
The Designer Lighting 2.0 collection is available in Mineral Black or new Mineral White colourways. Every model in the 2.0 collection is manufactured and hand-assembled at the Novy factory in Kuurne, Belgium. Each is hand-sprayed using a specially formulated matt finish powder-coated paint that features a mineralised structure, ensuring it is less sensitive to fingerprint marks and is easier to clean.
All Pendant, Shelf and Wall models in the Designer Lighting 2.0 Collection are available in the following lengths: 95cm, 125cm,155cm,185cm, 215cm, 245cm, 275cm and 305cm. The Shelf Pro models that feature Novy’s Gesture Control Pro technology are available in the following lengths: 125cm, 155cm,185cm, 215cm, 245cm, 275cm and 305cm.
The Designer Lighting 2.0 collection benefits from advanced lighting technology. All models feature smooth illumination from a powerful integrated LED strip line that delivers 3500 Lux, an equivalent of 50% more Lumen per m² than in previous versions. The adjustable light intensity and colour temperature range from 2,700K to 4,000K to deliver ambient lighting with greater depth, and stronger functional or task lighting.
Touchless gesture-controlled lighting is simple to use with a range of learnt gestures that activate the light and adjust the luminosity. With the Pendant, Shelf and Wall models, there is a sensor at the centre of the base. By swiping under the sensor the LEDs are activated, holding your hand under the sensor then changes the light intensity from functional to ambient, while another quick gesture will deactivate it. The Shelf Pro model features Gesture Control Pro with sensors along the entire base of the shelf so the beam can be directed where you want it, above or below the shelf. Holding your open hand just beneath the sensor accesses a palette of colour options, ideal for changing the mood in the room.
Every Designer Lighting 2.0 model in the collection comes with a five-year warranty.

The owners of the latest Ledbury Studio project were undertaking a complete renovation of their home when they approached Charlie Smallbone and team to design this elegant open-plan kitchen. For this space, their primary goal was to create a kitchen and dining area that could serve as a versatile room for the entire family to cook, dine and spend time in together.
“This kitchen was designed to be both beautiful and practical,” explains Charlie. “The use of different materials and textures creates a dynamic and engaging space, while the layout ensures it meets the needs of a busy family. The combination of metal, marble and quartzite adds depth and interest, making it a room that is not only functional but also a joy to be in.”
The clients wanted a neutral palette, so Charlie selected painted cabinets with a single panel design in Ash White. But then to prevent the solid fronts from overwhelming the space, he added ribbed glass wall cabinets into the mix, bringing an element of lightness and texture that breaks up the uniformity and enhances visual interest.
Various metallic elements throughout the kitchen add Charlie’s signature wow factor. Aged brass handles and kickplates enhance the cabinetry, while the spice rack features delicate brass rails. The kitchen taps are also brass, as are the fittings on the trio of pendants hung over the island. These touches of brass not only add a luxurious feel but also provide a cohesive look to the kitchen.
The central island is another talking point of the space thanks to its reeded surround and stunning Diamond Quartzite top. Home to the kitchen sink as well as a breakfast bar for casual dining, this eye-catching island serves as both a functional workspace and a social centrepiece. The same Diamond Quartzite is used for the adjacent worktop and splashback, elegantly tying all the kitchen elements together and ensuring a harmonious flow throughout.
In contrast to the Ash White cabinets and cool quartzite, the coffee-making station and tall refrigeration cupboards are clad in sheets of zinc that have been aged and patinated. The zinc adds a touch of industrial chic, juxtaposing beautifully with the kitchen’s otherwise polished aesthetic. This contrast both highlights this functional section of the kitchen and adds depth to the overall design.
A walk-in pantry was a must-have addition for the clients, creating convenient storage for the family's food. Given their passion for cooking, Charlie also integrated a floor-to-ceiling book rack into the design, which is stylishly framed in marble and provides ample space for their collection of cookbooks.
Prices for a Ledbury Studio kitchen start from £70,000.
About Ledbury Studio Ltd
Charlie Smallbone needs little introduction. The founder of iconic brand Smallbone of Devizes, he has been pushing the boundaries of kitchen design for over 40 years. Charlie’s latest venture, Ledbury Studio, was born of his desire to harness the beauty of original materials whilst creating practical kitchens that exude style and elegance.
Fitted kitchen design is packed with benefits. You can optimise every inch of your luxury kitchen with built in storage cupboards to create space for all your stuff – from ingredients to cookware, even a desk in an unused corner. But introducing a freestanding element to bespoke kitchens will elevate your kitchen design to the next level. Blending fitted kitchen cupboards with a standalone cabinet or bespoke kitchen island, will add masses more character and functionality to your luxury kitchen room.
Here are just some of the ways our kitchen designers mix fitted and freestanding furniture. And why a bespoke kitchen from Roundhouse Design is the ultimate style choice.
It’s easy to see why modern kitchen islands remain a popular fixture in today’s luxury kitchens. They can create more storage and kitchen work surfaces plus room for an extra sink. We are also often asked to add a seating perch, so bespoke kitchen islands become the communal hotspot of your kitchen design. But it is the freestanding nature of bespoke kitchen islands that adds so much to a fitted kitchen layout. Play around with shape and colour. Try curved ends to break up the straight lines of built in storage cupboards. Or how about an accent material to enhance the freestanding silhouette of your beautiful bespoke kitchen island.
If you have the space, why not add a freestanding dresser to your luxury kitchen. Our Nightingale display cabinet, backed with mirror panelling, will create a striking statement on an empty wall. The more modern Brompton cabinet mixes clean lines, metal frames and integrated lights to display your favourite glassware and pottery. Combining a fitted kitchen design with a standout dresser will instil so much personality – and you can even add this at a later date. Everything from Roundhouse London is manufactured to order. And we pride ourselves on using traditional British joinery techniques and luxury materials to craft the kitchen design of your dreams.
Another clever way to mix fitted and freestanding furniture in a Roundhouse kitchen is by drawing from both our Design and Studio collections. In this kitchen, black matt built in doors from the Studio collection cover three sides of the layout. Then a bespoke kitchen island clad in antique brass creates a freestanding showstopper that takes centre stage. The look is unified by the gorgeous green stone work surfaces. It’s the perfect example of how mixing Design and Studio cabinetry opens up greater design scope for your budget.
Ok, so long rows of shelving aren’t technically freestanding. However, by substituting built in wall units for kitchen display shelves you’ll create a relaxed, unfitted mood in bespoke kitchens. It’s a design trick we are fond of using here at Roundhouse London: simple yet full of impact. Choose chunky oak shelves to display earthenware bowls, jugs and plants. Or painted white shelves that blend invisibly into the walls of your luxury kitchen. You might even decide to ditch built in storage cupboards altogether on one wall. And don’t worry, our kitchen designers will make sure you have enough kitchen storage before you take the plunge.
Whether your luxury kitchen is big or small, a kitchen pantry cabinet is one of our favourite storage saviours. Roundhouse designers can tailor your pantry to your lifestyle with a choice of herb racks, wicker baskets, slide-out shelving or plug sockets to name but a few. But a kitchen pantry cupboard can also create the appearance of freestanding furniture – even if it’s a fully fitted piece. With double doors, wide drawers, lighting and perhaps painted in an accent colour, a pantry cupboard can add so much to bespoke kitchens. It’s the perfect way to create a freestanding look but with all the efficiency of built in cabinetry.

What do you get if you bring together elegant, understated style and skilled craftsmanship? In this case, Ledbury Studio's beautiful new design, the Wimbledon Village kitchen. Charlie Smallbone, founder of Ledbury Studio, created the kitchen in partnership with renowned interior designers Hill House Interiors and the stunning results are a fitting showcase of their very considerable combined talents.
"We wanted to create a kitchen that not only complements the open-plan layout but also offers something truly special with artisanal finishes and custom touches," explains Charlie. "The result is a space that feels luxurious yet approachable, perfect for both everyday use and entertaining."
Ledbury Studio specialises in taking natural materials and giving them a bespoke finish, so every piece of furniture has a unique look. In this case, Charlie stained and coloured the oak cabinets with a grey colourwash, chosen to complement the scheme in this open-plan kitchen, dining and living space. For a luxurious artisanal touch, the cupboard doors are then inlaid with bronze marquetry, which beautifully frames each one.
In addition to the bronze inlay on the doors, Charlie used the metal for the cupboard handles and the kickplates underneath, and there is also a bronze tap. Meanwhile, the splashback, which reflects light back into the room behind, is made of bronze-tinted antiqued mirror. Bringing the wow factor, however, are the wall cupboards above the splashback. Here, the hand-applied textured liquid- bronze finish creates a real focal point in an already showstopping kitchen.
The comfortable bar stools at the island and large dining table show that this is clearly a space intended both for entertaining and family life. With that in mind, the relatively compact footprint of the kitchen has a practical layout with hob, ovens and sink all within easy reach. In addition, Princess Quartz was chosen for the worktops, which gives the cook useful prep space as well as the luxurious look of marble without the associated upkeep.
A fabulous finishing touch is the drinks and breakfast cupboard to the right of the kitchen. This essential station hides all its useful functionality behind pocket doors, which slide right out of the way when in use, but pull back over to create a seamless piece of furniture the rest of the time. And in a link back to the bronze detailing in the rest of the design, the glass shelves are edged in aged bronze.
Why do we love modern country kitchen design so much? Put simply, we’ll never tire of the classic lines and warm hues that make country kitchens so enduring. These are versatile bespoke kitchens too. And whether you live in an urban pied-a-terre or a rural cottage, modern country kitchen designs are a great choice. Even super contemporary, minimalist homes can benefit from the soft, cosy and comforting silhouette of modern country bespoke kitchen design. So if you’re in the mood for a luxury kitchen design that will never date, let Roundhouse show you how.
Discover the key design tips of a modern country kitchen design and fall in love with this classic look all over again…
You won’t go far wrong with a neutral palette when it comes to modern country kitchen design. Think warm shades of buttermilk, off white and vanilla for light and inviting bespoke kitchen design with a little touch of French country flair. Alternatively, why not add a little drama with a darker shade. We work closely with Farrow & Ball and Little Greene to offer a huge selection of colours for our Design bespoke kitchens. Meanwhile, our Studio collection includes statement-making Indigo Blue, Forest Green and Graphite Grey – perfect for modern country kitchen designs big or small.
Adding freestanding pieces to bespoke kitchen design is an expert-proof way to create the modern country look. A standalone kitchen pantry cabinet or dresser for example instils instant country charm into any layout. Our freestanding furniture can transform your luxury kitchen design and embrace an artisan craftsmanship that Roundhouse is so proud of. Because everything from Roundhouse kitchens is manufactured to order – and that includes our freestanding Brompton and Nightingale cabinets. So whether you want to show off your best glassware or simply create extra storage, choose unfitted furniture for modern country appeal.
Natural materials such as timber, marble and metal are a signature look of modern country kitchen design. Here at Roundhouse we work with a mix of high quality materials and warm textures to create bespoke kitchens to suit your space. Try walnut veneer mixed with antique brass accents or a beautiful marble kitchen island. This bespoke kitchen design in a barn showcases book matched oak veneer offset with a patinated silver. Natural beauties that need nothing else…
Cooking is a big event for the modern country kitchen. So a robust range cooker should be top of your shopping list in country-inspired bespoke kitchen design. Go for a professional-style range in slick stainless steel with sturdy handles and matching steel wall racking. Or take a more vintage mood in luxury kitchen design with a colourful stove in enamelled yellow, cream, red or racing green. Finish off your Roundhouse kitchen with rows of gleaming copper pans, chunky cookware and great food.
Choose a large double bowl kitchen sink in chunky ceramic to set the tone in country bespoke kitchens. Belfast and Butler sinks won’t just add masses of style to your Roundhouse kitchen, they are perfect for washing bulky pans and large oven trays. Pair with a beautiful wall-mounted pot filler oozing with rustic charm. Pick a design in brushed nickel, copper or brass. And look out for an extendable arm so you can fill up kitchen pots and pans quickly and conveniently.
Details count. So for the modern country bespoke kitchen design, try tongue-and-groove panelling, tactile surfaces or a chic tiled splashback. Dark oak floorboards look striking against white and neutral kitchen storage cabinets. Or try pale timber in a chevron style pattern to add a touch of modern rustic cool. Glazed door fronts add a light welcoming touch while exposed brick walls create the perfect modern rustic backdrop. This is how to do modern country kitchen design for twenty-first century living.

Typically associated with bespoke kitchens and fitted wardrobes, built in furniture is increasingly finding its way into every corner of the home, from hallways and bathrooms to home offices, dining rooms, and so many other projects. The advantages of fitted furniture are plentiful but not always obvious. Here’s just some of the reasons why it’s a good idea to think beyond the kitchen and take a more holistic approach to fitted furniture when renovating your home.
As with the best kitchen design, fitted furniture is tailormade to fit perfectly within your space, which means no awkward gaps or wasted corners. Unlike off-the-shelf pieces, which might not make the most of a room’s layout, fitted furniture is designed to optimise every available inch. Small hallway with nowhere to discard outerwear? With sleek, built in furniture your entranceway can easily accommodate shoes, coats and bags without encroaching on walkways, making the area feel bigger, tidier and more welcoming. Similarly, fitted furniture in the dining area – for example built in seating with storage inside – can boost storage provisions while working in harmony with the shape and size of the room.
One of the greatest advantages of fitted furniture is the way it allows you to achieve seamless flow throughout the home, which is the key to creating a relaxed and inviting environment. By commissioning fitted pieces for various rooms, you can ensure a consistent aesthetic, whether that’s through coordinating finishes, materials, or design style. This is not about strict matchy-matchy, which can quickly lead to bland, but more geared towards fitted furniture with a common thread that’s subtle yet intentional. A boot room or laundry room fitted with the same cabinetry as your luxury kitchen, for example, creates a sense of unity and flow. Don’t forget, at Roundhouse you have the option to coordinate your luxury kitchen with fitted cabinetry from our Studio Collection in ancillary rooms. Learn how to combine our Design and Studio Collections to help your budget go further while enjoying the benefits of our skilled designers and installation team in every room.
The joy of fitted furniture lies in its ability to be tailored to your specific needs and lifestyle. Whether you want to set up a home office in your kitchen, or are seeking stylish shelving for your dining room, or a smart broom cupboard in your utility room, bespoke fitted furniture can be designed to suit specific requirements. In bathrooms, fitted vanity units can seamlessly integrate basins and storage, making the most of small or irregular spaces while promoting a polished look. The versatility of bespoke furniture means there is endless potential to customise – be it smart chargers inside drawers, his and hers mirrored cabinets or file storage sized to fit your documents. Furniture that’s made to suit your individual requirements doesn’t just look good, it can make your home function more smoothly and efficiently, ultimately resulting in an easier life.
This advantage is really quite simple – by providing designated places for all your belongings, throughout the home, fitted furniture supports clutter-free living and a calmer atmosphere. When working from home, for example, fitted desks, shelving and file storage can create an efficient and organised workspace, keeping paperwork and stationery out of sight but easily accessible. In the utility room, think built in laundry baskets and bespoke wardrobes for outerwear, pull-down clothes rails and cleaning cupboards with specialist storage dividers. This clutter-blitzing benefit not only makes daily life more manageable but also enhances productivity by ensuring everything you need is close to hand and easy to find.
Fitted furniture can be an investment but the outlay is offset by the knowledge that, done well, it can significantly enhance the value of your home. Beautifully made bespoke Roundhouse furniture will undoubtedly be viewed as a premium feature by potential buyers and can help your home stand out in a competitive market. Built in wardrobes, elegantly appointed living rooms, well-organised hallway storage and of course a luxury bespoke kitchen, will all lead to a more desirable property that reflects thoughtful design, quality workmanship and attention to detail. Above all, Roundhouse fitted furniture is built to last, making it a smart investment that brings both immediate enjoyment and long-term benefits.

As we step into 2025, kitchen design trends are taking a turn towards nature-inspired elements, textured surfaces and a renewed appreciation for craftsmanship and quality. This is something that chimes perfectly with the values of Ledbury Studio, where the team have always championed sustainability and the beauty of understated luxury. Here's Ledbury Studio's take on how those trends are set to redefine the heart of the home in the coming year.
Natural stone and sustainably sourced wood are increasingly popular in our kitchens, mirroring a broader societal move to reconnect with nature. Materials like marble, granite and richly grained woods such as oak and walnut are being celebrated for their unique imperfections, adding depth and authenticity to kitchen spaces. These elements don't just look great, they also tell a story and give each kitchen individual character.
Techniques like reeding and fluting, often applied to kitchen islands and cabinetry, add a rhythmic, sculptural quality to kitchen designs that feels both modern and timeless. Textured wood finishes, whether through hand-carved detailing or treatments that highlight natural grain, bring a sense of warmth and craftsmanship to kitchen designs. For example, Ledbury Studio's signature 'Choppy Water' surface, adds a tactile dimension to cabinetry and islands, softening the typically hard lines of kitchen spaces.
Distressed metals are making a strong comeback in 2025, offering a unique blend of character and history to kitchen interiors. Unlike the perfection of highly polished finishes, distressed metals bring a sense of heritage and authenticity to contemporary spaces. Their distinctive patinas add visual interest and evoke a feeling of craftsmanship that enriches the overall design. For those looking to create a warm, inviting atmosphere, these metals offer the perfect balance of rustic charm and modern elegance, transforming the kitchen into a lived-in, welcoming space.
The appreciation for mid-century design continues and deep wood tones, particularly walnut, are making a strong statement in today's kitchens. This rich, elegant wood, known for its complex patterns and warm hues, is being used in everything from cabinetry to furniture pieces, offering a sense of sophistication and grounded beauty. The appeal of mid-century design lies in its ability to blend form and function seamlessly, making it an enduring favourite for those seeking both style and practicality.
Quiet luxury is once again poised to be one of the defining trends of 2025. This design philosophy moves away from ostentation, instead embracing materials that are inherently luxurious, such as natural stone and fine woods. The result is a refined, serene atmosphere that feels effortlessly sophisticated. Quiet luxury also champions the principle of 'buying once, buying well', encouraging investment in durable designs that will stand the test of time. It's a smart, stylish approach for those who value longevity and authenticity in their home and bespoke kitchen furniture fits perfectly within it.
One of the most exciting emerging trends is the combination of stainless steel with wood and painted finishes. This design approach creates a striking visual contrast, balancing the sleek, industrial aesthetic of stainless steel with the warmth of wood or the soft tones of painted cabinetry. Coming soon to several stunning Ledbury Studio kitchen designs!

Through our affiliate referral gateway, Rehome Plus, designers can refer a customer and benefit from our fully managed, pre-owned interior solution, all whilst enhancing their own sustainability commitment.

We are delighted to partner with SBID and applaud the focus given to helping its members accelerate sustainability. When meeting with the SBID team, there was a genuine buzz about our collaboration and its saliency. It's exciting to know that together we can all work towards enhancing consumer awareness and help to shift behaviour towards more sustainable thinking. Our partnership with SBID will help to drive a cultural change that will future-proof the industry.
The focus on sustainability and the value of reuse is growing in momentum and we are very focused on future proofing our partners from looming waste legislation.
