Kitchen Renovation Ideas for Vermont Homes in 2025

Vermont & Vermont South homeowners are upgrading with confidence — here’s how to do it right.

When it comes to increasing the comfort, functionality, and value of your home, nothing delivers like a well-planned kitchen renovation. In Vermont and Vermont South, where homes combine leafy charm with practical living, more families are investing in thoughtful kitchen upgrades that suit their lifestyle and stand the test of time.

Whether you're cooking for five or entertaining a few close friends, here’s what’s trending in 2025 — and how to make the most of your space.

1. Open-Plan Without the Overwhelm

Many older homes in Vermont still have boxed-in kitchens that separate you from the dining and living areas. In 2025, we’re seeing more homeowners knock out non-structural walls to create subtle open-plan flow — while keeping zones defined. The result? A modern feel without losing cosiness.

2. Light & Air First, Finishes Second

Before choosing colours or appliances, we always ask:

Is the layout bringing in natural light?

A popular option in Vermont South homes is to reposition or resize a window to allow in more sun from the backyard. It's a move that instantly transforms how your kitchen feels — long before benchtops and cabinetry go in.

3. Warm Tones, Not Cold Trends

Stone benchtops and matte cabinetry remain favourites, but 2025 is seeing a shift from stark whites and greys to warmer neutrals — sandy taupes, muted greens, and soft timber accents that better match Vermont’s relaxed, natural setting.

4. Clever Storage, Not Just More Storage

Pull-out pantry towers, soft-close corner carousels, and under-sink drawer systems are smart upgrades we’re adding to most Vermont kitchen renovations this year. It’s not about building more cabinets — it’s about using every inch better.

5. Functional Islands (That Actually Fit)

Islands are fantastic — when they’re the right size. For Vermont homes, we often recommend narrower bench-style islands with seating on one side and drawers on the other. You get prep space, extra storage, and a place for family to gather — without crowding your kitchen.
