Top 5 Kitchen Trends for 2025
Are you planning a kitchen remodel or building a new home in Cambridge this year? The kitchen remains the heart of every home, and staying on top of the latest design trends can make your space both beautiful and functional. At CW Kitchens, we specialize in custom cabinetry and millwork that bring these trends to life — tailored specifically to the styles and needs of Cambridge homeowners and builders.
Here are the top 5 kitchen design trends shaping local kitchens in 2025:
1. Warm, Natural Wood Finishes
Gone are the days of all-white kitchens. Homeowners are embracing the warmth and texture of natural wood finishes. Think rich walnut, maple, and oak tones that bring a cozy yet modern feel. At CW Kitchens, our custom cabinetry offers a wide variety of wood finishes — perfect for adding character and timeless appeal to your kitchen.
Why it’s popular: Wood adds warmth and depth, making kitchens feel inviting and lived-in.
2. Two-Tone Cabinets
Two-tone kitchens continue to be a favorite in 2025. Mixing colors — such as darker bases with lighter uppers or a different coloured island — adds visual interest and highlights architectural details. Popular combos include navy blue and white, deep green and cream, or classic gray paired with natural wood. Need some colour pairing suggestions? Book a free design consultation.
Builder tip: Two-tone cabinets are a great way to personalize a kitchen without overwhelming the space.
3. Smart Storage Solutions
With homes getting smarter, kitchens are catching up. Custom cabinetry now often includes built-in organizers, pull-out pantries, soft-close drawers, and hidden recycling bins. Maximizing storage without sacrificing style is a key priority.
CW Kitchens can help: We design cabinetry that fits your exact needs, so everything has a place — and looks great doing it.
4. Matte Black Hardware and Fixtures
Matte black finishes are still trending strong in 2025. From cabinet handles to faucets, matte black adds a sleek, modern edge while contrasting beautifully with wood and lighter cabinets.
Pro tip: Pair matte black hardware with natural wood or white cabinetry for a striking, contemporary look.
5. Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Materials
Sustainability is more than a buzzword — it’s a lifestyle choice for many Cambridge homeowners. This year, expect to see more kitchens featuring eco-friendly materials such as recycled wood, low-VOC finishes, and energy-efficient appliances.
At CW Kitchens: We’re committed to environmentally responsible practices in our shop, from sourcing to manufacturing.
