The kitchen is often the centrepiece of the home – a space for cooking, entertaining, and making memories. As lifestyles evolve, so do kitchen designs, with people seeking a balance of beauty and practicality. Whether you’re dreaming of a stylish space to host gatherings or simply an efficient, tailored room to prepare your meals, 2025 is bringing exciting new possibilities to the table. At Kitchen Design Centre, we’re always ahead of the curve, tailoring designs to reflect not just the trends of the moment but the way you live. Ready to create your dream kitchen? Let’s take a look at what’s shaping kitchen design in 2025.
If you love hosting dinner parties, sculleries – or “dirty kitchens”, as they’re often called – are a game-changer that’s set to gain popularity in 2025. A scullery is a small room next to the kitchen, providing a practical, hidden space to handle messier tasks and keep your main kitchen pristine, ready to impress your guests. Unlike the open-plan kitchens that have been a popular choice for many years, sculleries allow you to keep everything out of sight, so you don’t have to have all your appliances and clutter on display. Perfect for prep work, washing up, or storing extra appliances you don’t want on display 24/7, sculleries let you embrace both function and style without compromise. It’s no surprise we’re seeing them more often.
Communal seating arrangements have been a prominent trend throughout 2024 and are showing no signs of fading from the spotlight in 2025. The kitchen is no longer just a place for cooking; over the years, it’s graduated into a space for connection and sharing moments with friends and family. Whether integrated into an island or positioned as a separate feature, communal seating invites everyone to gather and enjoy one another’s company. These arrangements add warmth and personality to your kitchen, making it the perfect setting for socialising, dinner parties or a good old-fashioned cup of tea and a chat.
We’ve touched on this trend before, but it’s only grown in popularity over the past year, and it’s set to continue in 2025: combination islands. These versatile islands blend prep space with seating, making them perfect for cooking, dining, and entertaining. Whether you’re prepping ingredients or chatting with friends, combination islands effortlessly combine form and function.
Beyond a workspace and storage, these islands often include built-in appliances like sinks or Quooker taps, maximising efficiency. They also help conserve space by hiding larger appliances like fridges and dishwashers. With all-around seating that brings people together, combination islands are transforming kitchens into multifunctional social hubs, and they’re here to stay!
Never underestimate the power of hardware – sometimes, the smallest details can make the biggest impact. In 2025, it looks like gold is taking centre stage, adding a touch of sophistication and warmth to kitchen designs. Its elegant hues create a welcoming yet luxurious atmosphere, plus it effortlessly complements both classic and modern styles. Whether it’s on taps, handles, or light fixtures, gold hardware can elevate the entire space, transforming even the simplest elements into standout features. With its timeless appeal, gold adds a subtle yet lavish touch that helps create a kitchen that’s both functional and inviting.
And, of course, we have our own 2025 Collection! At Kitchen Design Centre, our 2025 Collection features deeper 610mm units as standard, offering extra storage without the additional cost, while the world’s first 8mm steel-frame drawers with optional lighting add a sleek touch and increased functionality. With higher base units, extra-high wall units, and sustainable drawer accessories, this collection redefines kitchen storage. Plus, our ultra-low energy lighting systems help you create the perfect ambience while keeping energy bills down. You can read all about this in our last blog!

A KITCHEN AND LIVING SPACE REIMAGINED FOR A RIBBLE VALLEY HOME
Paulo and Debbie first discovered Kitchen Design Centre back in 2013 when they created their dream kitchen—and they loved it so much that, years later, they returned once more.
This time, it was for a brand-new kitchen, utility room, games room and garage storage area as part of a major renovation to their family home.
Inspired by a stunning display in the Barrowford showroom, Paulo and Debbie teamed up with Barrowford Showroom Manager, Simon Thomas. With over 25 years of experience, Simon was the perfect person to take on their new brief—one that pushed boundaries and called for creativity in a limited space.
Debbie, inspired by Pinterest, envisioned a kitchen with rich walnut tones. Simon brought this to life with a sophisticated, contemporary design that cleverly created the feeling of a large island in a narrow room, proving that great design isn’t about space—it’s about smart solutions. He did this by linking the island to one wall to create the perfect cooking centre with all the focus in to the room.
“Simon was incredible. We loved the kitchen so much that we asked him to turn his attention to the majority of our downstairs. The whole area now has real wow factor—and it’s incredibly practical too. We couldn’t be happier with the result.”

A SLEEK, HIGH-END CONTEMPORARY KITCHEN FOR A MANCHESTER HOME
When renovating their Worsley home, Kim and Paul knew exactly who to trust with their dream kitchen — Kitchen Design Centre.
A Sleek, High-End Contemporary Kitchen for a Manchester Home
Having worked with them four years ago in their previous home, they were so thrilled with the result that choosing them again was an easy decision.
Visiting the Urmston showroom, they were immediately inspired by the stunning displays and enlisted designer Rowan Chick to create a sleek yet functional space. They envisioned a monochrome palette to complement the ultra-modern aesthetic of their new home — a striking contrast to their previous more traditional navy and taupe kitchen.
