Goodbye Sterile, Hello Style - Current Kitchen Design Trends

At Bucks Home & DIY Inc., we believe your kitchen should be as bold and beautiful as you are, and this year is delivering on that promise! After years of white and gray, current kitchen design trends are all about richness, warmth, and personal style. That's not to say that gray and white are gone completely - they will always have their place, but there is a definitive shift to cream (instead of arctic tones of white) and rich charcoals and gray toned colors. But from some of our key kitchen cabinet manufacturers and tile distributers, we are seeing colorful cabinets and jaw-dropping backsplashes with a heavy return to natural wood. Let’s dive into some of the trends we're seeing.

Bold Colored Frameless Kitchen Cabinetry with Natural Wood accents

Hello Bold!

The white-and-gray era had a solid run, but homeowners are craving something more personal—and cabinet brands are delivering. At Bucks Home & DIY Inc., we’re loving the bold new color palettes from our go-to brands: Shiloh, DeWils, Wolf, K2 and Eclipse. Expect to see kitchen cabinets in moody navy, forest green, dusty sage, even terra cotta or mustard tones.

Shiloh Cabinetry has adding bold new hues like "Quietude" and "Rookwood Shutter Green,"perfect for adding depth without overpowering the space. We're implementing a Quietude kitchen with Shoji White cabinetry and it is gorgeous! Meanwhile, DeWils recently introduced 36 new colors with nature-inspired palettes that bring serenity and style straight into your home. Color is no longer a risk—it’s the strategy.

Decorative Backsplashes Take Center Stage

Designed Tiles

The backsplash is no longer a supporting character—it’s stealing the show. Thanks to water jet mosaic technology, backsplashes in 2025 are intricate, bold, and downright artistic.

Whether it’s marble mosaics with brass inlays, geometric interlocking patterns, or a full statement mural behind your range, this is the year to go big. At Bucks Home & DIY Inc., we help our clients find tiles that don’t just match the kitchen—they make the kitchen.

If you’ve ever dreamed of using your backsplash like a gallery wall, now’s the time.

Natural Wood Finish Kitchen

Natural Wood is Back (and Better Than Ever)

In a refreshing shift away from sterile minimalism, natural wood is making a triumphant return. White oak, walnut, and maple are leading the way—bringing warmth and timeless appeal to today’s kitchens.

Bucks Home & DIY Inc. clients are leaning into wood cabinetry that feels organic, grounded, and completely versatile. White oak, in particular, is having a moment, thanks to its neutral tones and modern grain pattern. Combine it with matte finishes, mixed materials, or a painted island for a kitchen that’s both timeless and trend-forward.

Designing with Intention

In 2025, your kitchen isn’t just a room—it’s a statement. Whether you’re going bold with blue cabinetry, playing with patterned tiles, or bringing in natural materials, Bucks Home & DIY Inc. is here to help you design a kitchen that tells your story.
