* Want to know ELLE DECOR's kitchen trends for 2025?
1. The SECOND, dirty kitchen that hides dirty dishes and less attractive elements of cooking.
2. Natural materials, fabrics, soft touches.
3. Decorative walls and backsplashes that go well beyond subway tiles...
4. Non-neutral rich earthen hues, contrasting jewel tones, terra-cotta objects...
5. The rise of a kind of shameless exposure of ingredients and kitchen tools...that are easy to find and access.
6. Natural stones with exaggerated movement and veining.
If you are thinking of a move let's connect, who you work with matters!
