Brighton Kitchen Trends 2025: What’s In (and Already Out)
In Brighton, kitchens aren’t just functional—they’re a feature.
If you’re planning a renovation in 2025, knowing what’s trending (and what’s tired) could mean the difference between a timeless upgrade and something that looks outdated within two years.
Here’s what’s dominating Brighton’s high-end kitchens in 2025—and what to skip.
1. In: Textured Cabinetry with Natural Tones
Smooth gloss is out. This year, homeowners are leaning into warmth and depth—think matte timber finishes, fluted paneling, and soft earthy tones like oak, walnut, and mushroom beige.
Pair this with minimalist handles or touch-release cabinetry for a clean, luxurious feel.
2. In: Concealed Appliances + Butler’s Pantries
If your fridge or microwave is visible, it’s dated.
Brighton kitchens now feature fully integrated appliances, where cabinetry covers dishwashers, fridges, and range hoods seamlessly.
Bonus feature? A hidden butler’s pantry with its own sink, prep space, and wine fridge.
3. In: Oversized Island Benches (Multi-Use Zones)
Kitchens are doubling as entertaining hubs. Expect thick stone benchtops, LED strip lighting under island edges, waterfall ends, and enough room for bar stools, charging stations, and built-in storage.
4. In: Mixed Materials That Contrast Softly
No more matchy-matchy. The new look blends:
Timber + stone
Black steel + oak
Fluted glass + concrete
These contrasts elevate your kitchen while keeping it grounded and inviting.
5. Out: Gloss White Everything
All-white kitchens with gloss cabinetry and shiny chrome fittings? Already tired. They reflect too much, smudge easily, and lack personality.
If you want white—go for matte finishes, texture, and warmth, not clinical sterility.
6. Out: Overhead Cabinets That Box In the Room
Full-height overheads are being replaced with:
Open shelving
Glass-front feature cabinets
Or no overheads at all with bulk storage shifted to the butler’s
Result? Cleaner sightlines, more light, and a greater sense of space.
Final Thought:
In Brighton, your kitchen should reflect who you are and where you live—a blend of coastal calm, sophistication, and everyday practicality.
