This time of year is when we start planning for our kitchen projects in the New Year, a time when we gather our ideas and look at upcoming trends. Homeowners spend more time in their homes in the winter due to the change in weather, and this is the time to pin our ideas on Pinterest and look through glossy interior magazines.
Trends change from year to year, and in most recent years a unique and bold worktop has been favoured. Kitchen worktops are one of the biggest decisions you will make in your home, so it’s important to get right!
That’s where our helpful team share inspiration with you from trends coming in 2025. In this blog, we’ve gathered the upcoming worktop trends and hope to bring inspiration to your next kitchen project.
Marble-Style Worktops With Dramatic Veining
2025 is the year we say goodbye to plain, block-colour kitchen countertops and replace them with visual interest from a striking vein.
Designing a kitchen island with a heavily veined marble can bring it to life in more ways than one. To add an extra statement, consider a waterfall design to showcase the marble’s stunning patterns from every angle.

Making a Comeback… Terrazzo Worktops
Like any interior trend and fashion, designs make a strong comeback, and in 2025, it’s Terrazo. Terrazo worktops are set to take centre stage, seamlessly integrating into both traditional and contemporary kitchen schemes.
A durable, low-maintenance, and timeless aesthetic is coming back to kitchen design in the year ahead.
Warm-Toned Marble
Cool tones are becoming a thing of the past and a warmer palette is taking its place. While white and grey marble is still favoured and has been a staple in kitchen design for a long time, 2025 moves towards warmer stones.
Porcelain is a rising product, a material that is designed to replicate the look of natural stones. It still offers timeless beauty with added durability and low maintenance.

Stone Splashback Matching Worktop
In 2025, worktops and splashbacks are uniting to create a cohesive aesthetic. This is where the same worktop is extended up to the wall to create a beautiful large splashback. It particularly looks stunning where there is a striking pattern on the surface. We are already seeing a growing trend in our clients’ selections.

Detailed Edge Profiles
Edge profiles are taking the shape of being more adventurous, they make all the difference. It’s the finishing touch and can enhance your scheme, there are so many to choose from. We love it when a client comes to us and has considered a more detailed edge – it really shows our craftsmanship.
Many homeowners have opted for a simple bevel edge, for 2025 we will start to see more detail edging especially with a thicker worktop.
Two-Tone Worktops
Is your style confident? How about choosing worktops in directly opposing colours? This is a confident and upcoming trend that brings a beautiful contrast to the home. Dare to be different and make a statement!
Moody & Beautiful
Moody colours are set to dominate next year’s interior trend headlines, and they are making their mark in the worktop industry too! Emerald greens are leading the way, an exciting nod to nature, and we couldn’t be happier. Green has been a much-favoured colour in the home, so there’s no surprise this is taking the lead.

Curved & Gracious
The curved worktop makes a bold statement in modern kitchen designs, bringing a softer and more inviting aesthetic to the heart of the home. Sweeping, rounded worktop edges bring a beautiful silhouette to the space that you don’t want to go unnoticed. They break from the traditional worktop edge and are more family-friendly.
Rounded edges soften the space and evoke a sense of calmness. We can see why it’s become a favoured feature in the modern home. They can work on the kitchen island, around the edges of the main worktop and on bespoke family gathering spots.
Check out a couple of examples below.
