CKF’s Top 6 Design Trends to Elevate Your Home in 2025
Whether you’re starting a remodel project or building a home this year, rest assured you can be ahead of the game with these home design trends for 2025! From unique kitchen features to outdoor spaces, our top six design trends are just the elements you need to elevate your home this year.
Stone-Wrapped Range Hoods
Range hoods adorned with stone add a unique and elegant touch to any kitchen, and we don’t see this trend going away anytime soon! Taking the Midwest and other regions by storm, stone-wrapped range hoods offer a way to set your kitchen apart from the rest, whether you want it to match your countertops or add a contrasting tone. CKF recommends using Dekton, quartzite, or quartz for your hood design, which are easy to maintain and resistant to scratches and stains. With that, we can say with certainty that this is a trend you’ll want to have in your kitchen this year!
Technology Integrations
Technology is becoming increasingly integrated within our homes, from smart doorbells to remote-controlled locks, so it’s no surprise that technology is going to be a big trend again this year. CKF is proud to offer a new technology that can be embedded into countertops: the FreePower wireless charger. FreePower provides wireless charging capabilities through your countertop, allowing you to charge your devices without the mess and eyesore of cords. Simply place your device in the charging halo and let FreePower take care of the rest. FreePower units can be installed in a variety of places, including kitchen islands, vanities, and mudroom countertops, to charge your devices wherever you place them most.

Would you add FreePower to your countertops?
Taupe Cabinetry
If you haven’t hopped on the taupe cabinetry train yet, this year is your chance! Taupe cabinetry has been gaining momentum and is finally getting the attention it deserves. This versatile color can fit any design style, from the clean Scandi home to the moody cottage. Pair it with a warm Ivory in the kitchen or a soft cream countertop in the bathroom, and you have the next viral Pinterest space. CKF offers a wide selection of Taupe cabinetry to choose from, so stop by your local showroom today!
Reeded Cabinet Detailing
Reeded cabinet detailing is the perfect trend for those who appreciate the small things. Although understated, reeded cabinets bring an abundance of character to a space, leaving guests amazed at how a small feature can make such a difference. Sprinkles of reeded details throughout the home, such as on built-ins and in the powder bath, are the perfect way to create a cozy, inviting space you’ll never want to leave. We adore the reeded detail trend and can’t wait to see it in more homes this year- will your home be one of them?
Dedicated Outdoor Kitchen Areas
Everyone wants to spend more time outdoors, so it’s no surprise that outdoor kitchen areas are growing in popularity! Big or small, dedicated outdoor kitchen spaces provide a place to entertain, relax, and get some fresh air. To make sure you can enjoy your outdoor space for years to come, selecting the right materials to outlast various weather elements is vital. For outdoor countertops, CKF suggests using Dekton or a natural stone, such as granite. CKF’s outdoor cabinetry options, including Urban Bonfire and WeatherStrong, are durable and customizable options that create a functional space for you to enjoy.
Dekton Fireplace Surrounds
The last trend we predict will skyrocket this year is fireplaces featuring Dekton. Dekton is the ultimate fireplace material because it’s resistant to heat, scratches, and discoloration, making it simple to maintain. Whether your fireplace is electric, gas, or wood-burning, a Dekton fireplace surround or embellishment is the perfect way to enhance your living space. Dekton also comes in a variety of colors and can effortlessly blend with other materials, making your design extremely flexible.
We’re eager to see these six design trends take off in 2025! Whether you’re looking to remodel your living space with a Dekton fireplace or add a unique element to your kitchen with a stone-wrapped hood, adding one of these trends (or two) to your home will make your space unforgettable.
