Our friends over at Freedom Kitchens have rounded up the top 5 kitchen trends you’ll be seeing in Australian homes in 2025 and beyond. These trends are all about blending style with unbeatable practicality—and we can’t wait to share them with you for some inspiration! Kitchen renovations have never looked so good!

The Island Bench: A Modern Essential

A kitchen island bench has become a must-have feature in modern kitchens, especially in galley-style layouts. More than just a stylish centrepiece, it serves as a multifunctional hub
for seating, socializing, and casual dining.

In fact, many homeowners are now opting for kitchen islands instead of traditional dining tables, embracing a more relaxed and intimate dining experience. Beyond its aesthetic
appeal, an island bench also offers valuable storage, making it a perfect blend of form and function for contemporary homes. This is why you’ve seen them so often in the kitchens on The Block!

2. Elevate Your Space with Coloour Drenching

Get ready to see this trend take over in 2025 and beyond! Colour drenching creates a bold, harmonious look by layering similar tones and shades across different elements of a space. This approach brings a sense of openness, tranquillity, and sophistication to your kitchen.

To achieve this effect, coordinate your kitchen cabinets, benchtops, walls, and décor in complementary shades. While classic blacks and whites remain timeless, earthy hues like
blues, greens, and warm neutrals—such as Clay and Sand—are becoming increasingly popular.

3. The Rise of Wam Neutrals

Say goodbye to stark whites—off-whites and taupes are taking centre stage in interior design! These warm, inviting shades such as Amaro Smooth (shown above) complement a
range of kitchen styles, from modern to traditional, and pair effortlessly with other key styles such as timber-look joinery or marble-inspired benchtops. Timeless and versatile, warm neutrals create a cozy yet sophisticated look that’s here to stay.

4. Make a Statement with Bronze Hardware

Elevate your kitchen with the rich, sophisticated touch of bronze-look hardware. Metallic accents bring instant warmth and glamour, effortlessly complementing a variety of kitchen
styles. For a cohesive and polished look, team bronze-toned handles with matching tapware and sinks—creating a space that feels both timeless and on-trend.

5. Enhance your Space with Fluted Details

Fluted and panelled cabinetry is on the rise, adding depth, texture, and a touch of elegance to modern kitchens. Freedom Kitchens Vera doors embrace this trend with a classic V-
groove design, seamlessly complementing a variety of styles in white, black, or timber tones. For an added touch of sophistication, their Broadline Glass inserts bring a refined
look—whether used within cabinetry or as open glass shelving. This timeless detailing is sure to impress!
