Painted Kitchen Trends 2025: Colours, Handles, and Styles
Each year brings new life to classic kitchen designs — and 2025 is no exception. With bold colour choices, elevated hardware, and a strong move toward individuality, painted kitchens are taking centre stage. Here's what we're seeing right now from real customers, designers, and the work we do in our own workshop.
Colour Trends: Going Beyond Grey
While grey remains a safe choice, 2025 is all about characterful tones. We're seeing a surge in rich greens, deep navy blues, and even dusky pinks — all made possible by the flexibility of painted cabinetry. These colours work beautifully on timeless profiles like shaker cabinets, letting you strike the balance between modern flair and traditional charm.
Need help visualising contrast? Belfast sinks are still a favourite — their bright ceramic finish pairs beautifully with bolder painted base units. Browse our Belfast Sink Base Units to see how customers are combining utility with statement colour.
Hardware as a Statement
Gone are the days of forgetting about handles until the last minute. In 2025, hardware is a design choice — matte black, aged brass, and fluted cup pulls are all in demand. It’s not just about looks either — high-end hardware like Quooker taps are making functional upgrades feel luxurious.

Celebrating Individuality
One of the best parts of a painted kitchen? It’s yours. We’ve seen an increase in requests for hand-painted personal touches — from initials engraved on pantry doors to off-menu colour mixes. Our own workshop team has worked closely with homeowners to add meaningful details to everyday spaces.

Built to Last, Not Just Trendy
It’s easy to chase what’s trending — but what matters is how it’s made. We continue to build every kitchen by hand, using traditional joinery methods in our UK workshop. That’s how we ensure that your paintwork doesn’t just look good — it lasts.
