On our way to a New Year 2025

We are gearing up for a New Year. Whether you’re looking to make cosmetic changes to a single room or to rip out and replace the entire kitchen, you might be wondering what finishes, colors, materials, and components will bring these renovation and remodeling targets up to date.

More Color

Over the last several years, there’s been a lot of “safety” when it comes to color palettes, but that may change in 2025. Casey Keasler, founder and design director of Casework, explains how people are tired of neutrals and want more personality in their spaces.

Keasler says that her clients are planning to incorporate color in kitchen cabinetry as well.

Once again, color choices will vary, but Briana Gershenzon, partner and chief of design at Renovation Sells believes greens will be popular.

“In previous years, we saw deeper evergreen tones making a statement on kitchen cabinetry, but homeowners are craving a more serene palette,” she says.

For this reason, she predicts that there’ll still be some deep greens, but more homeowners will gravitate toward organic and earthy greens for the cabinetry in 2025. And, she adds, these greens are a natural pairing for the next trend on this list: warmer metal finishes like brass.
