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!

The Katharine Pooley Design Studio is currently working on several large-scale residences in St Tropez, Monaco and Cannes for their network of private clients from around the world. The transformation of the 25,000 sq ft Château de la Croix des Gardes perfectly illustrates Katharine’s personal love of timeless, beautifully detailed, serenely elegant interiors, which wonderfully suits the architecture and landscape of the French Riviera.
The Château de la Croix des Gardes is one of the largest remaining estates on the Cote D'Azur. This legendary Château is unparalleled in the beauty of its architecture, its sublime mediterranean views and the scale of its surrounding gardens. The LA based English client and his young family asked Katharine and her team of experienced designers to spearhead the Châteaus complete redesign over three years, and the captivating splendour of the blue and white hued Ballroom is now the perfect backdrop for formal entertaining with family and friends.
In 1919, Swiss industrialist Paul Girod purchased the property and built a Florentine style villa, surrounded by 25 acres of gardens. These iconic gardens define the estate, and were the inspiration for Katharine’s design for the new Ballroom, which is situated within one wing of the property. The inspiration is most clearly seen in the detailing of the majestic botanical themed bar and hand-painted wall panelling that depicts the garden views on all sides of the property.
Large windows run parallel along the length of the room creating a harmony between the outdoors and in. A feature of each room at the Château are the hand-stitched embroideries and hand-woven fabrics. The leading edges of the Ballroom curtains were embroidered, with delicate bamboo shoots crafted with metallic yarns, silk threads and fine glass beads.
The bespoke chandeliers hanging overhead were uniquely designed by the Katharine Pooley team and inspired by local, traditional craftsmanship. They were painstakingly crafted from artisanal antique glass makers in the French countryside, with metalwork completed in Provence.
An intricately crafted marquetry bar was designed by Katharine and her team to create an eye-catching centrepoint to the entertaining space. Individually crafted marquetry leaves and petals span its five meter length and take inspiration from the shapes of botanical specimens found in the surrounding gardens. The walls of the Ballroom feature exquisite hand-painted moon-gold parchment wall paneling, showing the original Japanese garden and family of peacocks found on the grounds.
The Katharine Pooley Design Studio expertly managed every aspect of the design, procurement and installation of this extraordinary residence, overseeing the transformation of the Château. This included spatial planning, schematic designs and architectural concepts. Katharine ensured every small detail embodied the finest European craftsmanship, with 265 artisans contributing to the remarkable finished result.
This spring, the Katharine Pooley Design Studio will complete the redesign of a striking and contemporary Parisian home and visit our ongoing projects in development in the South of France. Katharine is looking forward to forging new connections across the world. 2025 is set to be an especially exciting year for the design studio as we grow our team of architects and designers, and further strengthen our yacht, hospitality and art consultancy divisions.

Here at Linwood, we have long been singing the praises of wool as a robust, eco-friendly fabric that defies passing trends. For our latest wool collection, we are thrilled to be using Romney wools. A centuries-old British breed, Romney sheep are renowned for their soft, strong fleeces that are used to make premium wool products that are guaranteed to stand the test of time.
Our new collection of upholstery weaves represents the best of British, from the quality of the wool to the finest spinners, dyers, weavers and finishers in Yorkshire and Lancashire.
Romney sheep are ‘long wool’ sheep, producing fleeces that are lustrous, strong and hardwearing, yet incredibly soft. The evolution of the breed over the centuries has resulted in the sheep developing fleeces that remain healthy in harsh weather, producing wool fibres that are perfect for both clothing and homewares. Another huge plus is that the fibre is predominantly white, so it can take any form of dye beautifully.
We are hugely excited to announce the launch of our Romney British Wool collection that combines the excellent qualities of Romney wool with the talents of the finest spinners, dyers, weavers and finishers, all based in Yorkshire and Lancashire. ‘The wool has been finished to give it a luxuriously soft texture, making it the perfect choice for upholstery as well as curtains,’ says Warrick Gloyn, Sales Director of Linwood. He continues, ‘It’s durable, eco-friendly, stain- and fire resistant by design, and it has been piece-dyed to provide an alluring array of colours.’
Products made using Romney Marsh wools contribute to a sustainable lifestyle as the wool is readily renewable as well as being entirely biodegradable, and it is ethically produced. ‘British wool textiles are affordable, practical and environmentally responsible,’ notes Warrick, adding, ‘As a British firm, we want to support British farmers and the industry – and so do our customers.’
Tactile, sustainable and British through-and-through, our new collection is a must for any interior, adding a sense of refinement and quiet luxury that people will never tire of.
The collection has been certified as 100% British wool by British Wool, and we are thrilled that it bears the coveted Shepherd’s Crook Mark.
Watch our video, which shares the story of this collection.
There are 23 colours and it is priced at £99.90 a metre (rrp).

Something that the experts at Roca know all too well is that most people’s bathrooms are on the small side. A compact space doesn’t mean planning it will be minimal, though – in fact, you’ll need to consider everything even more carefully.
“Start by assessing the space available,” advises Natalie Bird, Roca Brand Manager. “Measure the dimensions of your bathroom accurately, including the height. Then, identify and mark the positions of windows, doors and existing plumbing, as this will help in planning the layout efficiently. Then, determine which are the most important fixtures for you; in a compact bathroom, you may need to prioritise a shower over a bath, for example.”
Natalie continues with the following hints and tips – which should help you to create a well-planned stylish and functional compact bathroom that feels much larger than it is.
When choosing fixtures for a compact bathroom, opt for smaller, space-saving options. Consider installing wall-mounted sanitaryware that frees up the floor; this is important because it creates a sense of openness and makes the room feel less cramped. Compact bathtubs designed to fit into tighter spaces are also a great choice. Additionally, seek out multifunctional items that serve dual purposes, such as a vanity unit with built-in storage or a toilet roll holder fixed on the side of your vanity unit. These combine essential functions while maximising the use of available space.
Focus on making optimal use of the available space, however limited. Arrange fixtures to maximise the room's functionality, such as keeping the toilet and basin on one wall to save on plumbing costs and create a more streamlined appearance. Ensure there is enough space to move comfortably by maintaining a good flow throughout the bathroom. And avoid placing sanitaryware or storage too close to doors or windows, as this can obstruct movement and make the room feel more cramped.
To make the most of a compact bathroom, utilise vertical space by installing wall-mounted cabinets and shelves, which help to free up valuable floor space and keep the room uncluttered. Additionally, incorporate hidden storage solutions, such as mirrored cabinets above the basin, to maintain a tidy and organised environment. These clever storage options not only maximise the use of available space but also enhance the overall functionality and aesthetics of the bathroom.
To create a seamless look, use the same flooring throughout the bathroom; larger tiles are particularly effective in making the room appear more spacious. Keep the decor minimal to stop it feeling overwhelming and opt for simple, stylish accessories that enhance the room's aesthetic without overwhelming it. Incorporate personal touches such as plants, artwork or a stylish shower curtain to add character and warmth to the space. Finally, utilise large mirrors to create the illusion of a larger room; they can reflect light and make the space appear twice its actual size, contributing to an open and airy atmosphere.

One of the questions we are most frequently asked after we restore someone’s natural stone is: how do I keep it looking like this? It is this that led us to develop Athena Aftercare.
It's a concise guide explaining how to care for natural stone without needing a professional. Looking after natural stone shouldn’t be hard, expensive or time consuming. It is all about having the right advice from the moment it is installed.
Natural stone has been used in building for centuries so there is no denying that it is durable. With the right care and attention, it can also look beautiful for year to come. Being able to restore, repair and recycle stone also means that it is a great choice for anyone looking to build with sustainability and longevity in mind. After all, natural stone will never go out of fashion, so your limestone floor will always be on trend no matter how many times you change your furniture style, redecorate or renovate.
With each client that we see, we will spend around half an hour discussing the exact cleaning regime that we would recommend for their specific natural stone floor. The advice that we would give to someone with 150sqm of tumbled limestone who lives in the countryside with 3 dogs and a smallholding is slightly different to someone with a polished marble hallway in Central London. However, the basic principles are the same and we have simplified this into wet and dry-cleaning recommendations.
Dry Cleaning Stone flooring does not need to be wet-cleaned everyday in fact we would advise against it. It is important though to regularly sweep the floor to remove dirt, dust and debris that could easily scratch the stone surface. We advise against using a vacuum and recommend instead sweeping the floor. This is much quicker and efficient compared to vacuuming and doesn’t run the risk of scratching the floor.
Wet Cleaning One of the tricks with wet cleaning is not to over-wet the floor. Frequent use of a steam cleaner for example can damage the stone. When mopping the floor, it is also key to ensure that you do not let the dirty water dry into the floor. Especially with an open textured or pitted floor that is protected with an impregnating sealant.
The most important thing to remember when cleaning a natural stone floor is to use the right cleaning detergent. Many household cleaners are not stone safe as they contain acidic ingredients. Others will contain highly alkaline ingredients which can damage the sealant. PH neutral cleaning products will emulsify the dirt without risking damage to the sealant or the stone surface. For our clients, we recommend the range by Fila which are also eco-friendly and VOC free.
The good news is that when it comes to bathrooms, the rules are the same. Ensuring that only pH neutral cleaning products are used is of the utmost importance. It is worth considering other cleaning fluids used in the bathroom and how they could impact the stone. For example, bleach used to clean a toilet could damage a marble floor and many glass and mirror cleaners are acidic too. A little caution when cleaning can go a long way.
Probably the most important thing to be aware of with natural stone in a bathroom is the impact that even water itself can have. In a hard water area and the pH of the water is not 7. This means that water that is left to pool on a sink or drip down the walls of the shower, will leave hard water deposits on the surface that can eventually etch the surface of the stone. We always advise clients to cleaning the shower and bath area daily. The easiest and most effective way is to spray the walls and floor of the stall with a stone-safe cleaner, then squeegee down after everybody in the home has taken a shower for the day. It is vital not to be tempted by limescale removers that are commonly available in the supermarkets as these will damage the stone surface and require professional restoration.
As with bathrooms and floors it is essential to regularly clean your marble worktop but to do so only using a stone-specific pH neutral cleaner. As marble is acid sensitive, the key is to try and keep the exposure to acid as minimal as possible. Vinegars, wine, lemon and anything that you might cook with that is acidic needs to be kept on a tray or plate or just away from the worktop altogether. If an acidic spill does occur, then we would advise to blot this rather than wiping it as this will just spread the damage. The chemical etching caused by acid on marble is almost instant and so the damage is done at this point. There will be little that you can do yourself to rectify this, but it can usually be restored to look like new.
Choosing natural stone over a man-made surface is an investment. If you bought a designer pair of shoes you would take the time to put them back in the box after each wear and if you bought a sports car, you probably wouldn’t take it through the car wash. For those who want their stone to continue to age elegantly, then just a few steps can keep it looking stunning.

About Athena Stonecare
Natural stone is an investment and we are committed to ensuring that its beauty endures. We specialise in working with marble, limestone, travertine, granite, and all types of natural stone, ensuring that stone will continue to be a beautifully sustainable feature within any property. As natural stone restoration experts we work with floors, worktops, shower walls, sinks and vanity units. The ongoing care of stone is important to us too and so we have developed a suite of advice and guidance on how to maintain the finish of any stone surface. This is distributed through stone suppliers across the UK and is also available to anyone who works with natural stone.
