Texture & Materials

The fluted, ribbed, and panelled textures discussed earlier remain prominent but now with even more contrast. Such as combining rough-cut stone with smooth cabinetry, or textured panels beside glossy finishes. It's a tactile, layered approach that's becoming increasingly popular in 2025 kitchen designs.

Curved & Custom Elements

Curved islands and soft-edged units continue to surge in popularity. Many clients are now opting for curved cabinetry, arched splashbacks, or rounded units—all aligned with exact’s bespoke German kitchen offering and design flexibility.

Storage that Impresses

Smart, seamless storage remains a top client favourite. These range from hidden utility areas and larder units to integrated wine chillers and minimalist pantries. Clients appreciate that these features are designed in from day one and fully installed by exact's team.

Warm Timber Pairings

Natural walnut continues to trend, but we’ve seen it taken further by pairing walnut with soft ash, oak, or bamboo tones. Combining different woods adds depth, warmth, and a bespoke character to open-plan kitchens.

Confident Colour Choices 

Moody tones—such as rich greens, deep blues, or even earthy paprika and terracotta—are still in demand. Take it to the next level by incorporating tonal layering and "double drenching" finishes, blended with light neutrals to create contrast and impact.

Subtle Tech Integration 

Modern features like venting hobs, integrated wine coolers, and Quooker boiling water taps bring a further element of luxury to 2025 kitchen design, and can be seamlessly included as part of exact’s full installation service. These keep surfaces clean and align with the sleek, handle-free style that has long been favoured by our customers.

Raw & Refined Mix 

They say opposites attract and when it comes to kitchen design, we definitely agree. Blend industrial elements (such as brushed metals or concrete countertops) with refined finishes and warm wood to create a premium looking space with real visual interest.
