As we settle into 2025, it’s only natural to think about transforming our homes for the year ahead.
While we’re firm believers that the best interiors take time, a new year is a great opportunity to make changes. Maybe you’ve been considering an entire kitchen decor revamp? Or perhaps you’re looking for smaller changes to create a fresh and fabulous space for your family? Either way, now is the perfect time to make those changes.
Remember, your kitchen needs to work for you and your lifestyle. Therefore, we’ve created a range of kitchen decor ideas for every kitchen project, big or small. From investment pieces to easy updates, these kitchen decor ideas for 2025 promise to help create the kitchen of your dreams…
1. Colourful Kitchen Decor Ideas
Products Featured: Large Banana Bowl - £65
One of the easiest ways to completely transform your kitchen decor is to add colour. As a result, it had to be at the very top of our list of kitchen decor ideas! Moreover, a colourful kitchen can be achieved in many wonderful ways, and without spending a fortune.
For example, something as simple as a coat of paint can bring your kitchen decor back to life. However, you don’t necessarily need to go bright to make a statement. Most importantly of all, your kitchen needs to be a colour you can live with. So, choose your colours carefully and don’t be afraid to paint the walls or existing cabinets in your kitchen. Not only will this brighten the space but it promises to instantly update your scheme without investing in a new kitchen.
While paint is always a great place to start, it’s not your only option for your beautiful kitchen decor. Colourful dining chairs are a great way to play around with pops of colour. Also, don’t neglect your accessories! From artwork to lighting and glassware, there’s no shortage of solutions to create a fabulous kitchen scheme with colour.
2. Fabulous Free Standing Storage

Storage is essential in any hardworking kitchen. Therefore, it’s a key consideration that should be given as much time and thought as your colour palette and furniture. Whether your kitchen is large or small, freestanding furniture is an important component to complete your dream scheme. Also, these multi-functional pieces of furniture are really helpful if you rent - beautiful, but, just as importantly, portable.
So, if cabinet storage space is tight in your kitchen, look for freestanding storage solutions. From floor-to-ceiling cabinets to DIY pantries and stylish shelving, these pieces combine practicality with serious style.
3. Luxe Lighting Kitchen Decor Ideas

Just as with colour, lighting is a quick and easy way to totally transform the feel of your kitchen decor.
As one of our favourite kitchen decor ideas to play around with, the options for lighting are endless. Maybe you’re looking to add natural warmth and texture through rattan pendant lights? Or perhaps you’re hoping to introduce old-school glamour with a fabulous fringed chandelier? Either way, lighting is key to creating an individual style statement in the kitchen!
So, why not hang a set of pendant lights over your island to create a fabulous focal point? On the other hand, you really can’t beat a dazzling chandelier hung low over your kitchen table...the options are endless, and the only limit is your imagination.
4. Kitchen Decor Ideas To Step Up Your Storage

During the planning of our own kitchen decor projects, we’ve discovered the beauty of putting storage on display. From glass jars for pasta to woven baskets for bread and fruit, your storage deserves to be showcased! Also, as we aim to create a more eco-conscious kitchen, we’re investing in glass bowls and containers that are true forever pieces. These beautiful counter pieces not only help reduce your use of plastic, but they also look great in the process.

As an important piece of furniture that helps tie your look together, never underestimate the power of a great bar stool! Our favourite kitchen decor ideas are the ones that don’t cost the earth. Therefore, before embarking on a big kitchen decor renovation project, why not consider updating your bar stools first? You can always start with a couple and mix and match until you can afford the entire set. While velvet adds luxury, rattan stools introduce texture and metal designs create an industrial edge. Just like our collection of dining chairs, bar stools are a great way to add playful colour to your kitchen decor.
6. Kitchen Decor Ideas For Your Table
Products Featured: Apothecary Dining Table - £749
The kitchen is often referred to as the heart of the home and as such, your dining table deserves attention.
As the place where you socialise and bond over shared meals and chat, this should be central to your kitchen decor ideas for 2025. After all, staying in is the new going out! Also, what’s better than a delicious dinner at home with friends and family?
With that in mind, one of our top tips for your kitchen decor has to be to transform your table. While classic farmhouse tables are great for causal family dinners, round tables encourage conversation. Therefore, investing in a round table is a key consideration for us in 2025! Furthermore, something as simple as a new table can take your kitchen decor to the next level.
7. Artful Displays For Your Kitchen Decor

Above all, your personality should be showcased throughout your home - and your kitchen is the perfect place to celebrate your unique sense of style! With countertops and shelves to style, our favourite kitchen decor is decor with character. So, don’t be afraid to curate style spots with all your favourite pieces. Maybe you’ve been hiding a collection of beautiful breadboards? Or maybe you have a collection of cookbooks or gorgeous glass jars waiting to be displayed? Think about ways to dress up your treasures so that they remain functional but look absolutely gorgeous (layer your serving boards against each other, for example, to create visual interest and introduce lots of texture). The impact is instant and this clever style tip can be extended to other kitchen items, too, such as making an accent point of utensil jars or beautiful glassware.
8. Kitchen Decor Shelving

In the same way that an artful display can create character, so too can a beautifully curated shelf. Open shelves and quirky display cabinets are a Rockett St George must-have for any modern kitchen decor, especially when painted or crafted from vintage wood. Either finish helps to add a timeless quality to the kitchen. Designed to be decorated and filled with collected treasures, shelving provides a snapshot of your individual sense of style. Take it from us, no kitchen is complete without a stylish set of shelves!
Built-in shelving is a brilliant addition to any kitchen but there are also plenty of other options. Depending on the size of your kitchen, our kitchen decor ideas for 2025 range from wall units to cabinets of curiosity.
9. Playful Plates For Your Kitchen Decor

With a huge variety of playful plates out there, there’s no need to settle for plain white plates! From special occasions to everyday dining, serveware is an absolute necessity. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun with it, and introduce a hint of excitement to your dining. We firmly believe that practical pieces don’t need to be boring and this starts in the kitchen. Perfect for introducing character to a table setting or brightening up your kitchen decor, you can never have too many plates!
10. Kitchen Decor Ideas For Your Walls

Maximising your kitchen's storage space doesn’t have to mean sacrificing style. When cabinet space is limited, introducing storage to the walls is a clever way to make the most of your kitchen while adding a personal touch.
Wall-mounted storage solutions, like shelf units and hook rails, are not only practical but also effortlessly chic. They provide the perfect opportunity to showcase some of your favorite pieces—whether it’s a collection of gorgeous ceramics, quirky mugs, lush green plants, or meaningful personal mementos. These small yet impactful details can truly bring your kitchen decor to life, making it both functional and beautifully styled.
But why stop there? Your kitchen walls can be so much more than just a storage zone. Adding beautiful mirrors and artwork to your kitchen is another way to elevate the space. A well-placed mirror can help create the illusion of a bigger, brighter room by reflecting light and adding depth. Meanwhile, artwork allows you to express your personality, whether through bold, abstract pieces, vintage posters, or playful prints that tie in with your kitchen’s colour scheme.
Together, these elements - practical wall storage and stylish decorative accents - can transform even the smallest kitchens into warm and inviting spaces that are uniquely yours.
