Every October, National Kitchen & Bath Month reminds us that these aren’t just functional spaces — they’re the heart and soul of a home.
And this year, the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA) is saying that character is making a comeback.
From retro appliances to warm wood tones, today’s homeowners are moving away from sterile minimalism and rediscovering design with warmth, color, and texture.
At Avery Construction, we’ve seen these trends first-hand — and we love how they breathe personality into luxury living.
Here’s a look at the kitchen and bath trends making waves for 2025 and beyond, with our own modern twist on how to bring them to life.
Move over, all-white everything — color and nostalgia are back.
Designers are embracing rounded silhouettes, soft pastels, and vintage-inspired fixtures that harken back to mid-century style—but with 21st-century functionality.
Think: mint-green appliances, curved hood vents, brass faucets with porcelain handles, and SMEG-inspired statement pieces.
Avery’s take: We blend nostalgia with precision. Retro doesn’t have to mean “old-fashioned.” When paired with quartz counters, hidden storage, and LED lighting, these classic touches feel chic, not dated.
With endless color combinations and durable performance, it’s being used far beyond flooring—appearing on countertops, backsplashes, and even shower walls.
Why it works now: Today’s terrazzo leans more subtle—think white bases with warm neutral or gold flecks instead of bold confetti colors.
Avery’s take: We love terrazzo as a visual connector between rooms. In a Florida home, its light-reflective surface enhances brightness while adding a touch of artistry.
Goodbye gray-on-gray. Hello, personality.
Colorful cabinetry has re-emerged as the star of the kitchen—bringing depth, emotion, and individuality.
The new neutrals: sage green, navy blue, and soft clay. These shades work beautifully alongside warm wood tones and brushed metals.
Avery’s take: We approach color strategically. In open-concept layouts, a statement island or vanity is the perfect pop of hue, balanced by neutral surrounding finishes. It’s personality done with polish.
From oak vanities to walnut shelving and slatted wall treatments, homeowners are rediscovering the texture, grain, and comfort of real wood.
Trend meets timeless: White oak cabinetry, live-edge countertops, and mixed wood tones are bringing life back into minimalist spaces.
Avery’s take: We use natural wood to ground a design. In Florida, pairing warm wood cabinetry with light stone and soft lighting gives that coveted balance between elegance and approachability.
Designers and homeowners are finally breaking the “match everything” rule.
Brass, nickel, chrome, and matte black are now living in harmony — each bringing its own energy to the room.
Example: a brushed brass faucet paired with matte black pulls and stainless appliances.
Avery’s take: Intentional mixing adds luxury without clutter. The key is consistency—repeat each metal at least twice in the room for a cohesive flow.
Reeded glass, fluted vanities, handmade tile, and honed stone surfaces are replacing high-shine finishes, giving spaces tactile dimension.
Why it matters: Texture makes minimalist designs feel layered, lived-in, and endlessly inviting.
Avery’s take: Our remodels often combine smooth quartz with brushed hardware and organic tile — creating movement, warmth, and visual depth in even the most streamlined designs.
Lighting is no longer an afterthought — it’s architecture.
From linear pendants over islands to softly glowing sconces in spa baths, today’s lighting acts as functional art.
What’s trending: globe shapes, mixed metal finishes, and warm color temperatures that mimic natural light.
Avery’s take: We always integrate lighting early in the design phase. The right lighting plan elevates every surface and enhances both mood and functionality.
Trends are exciting—but the key to a successful remodel is understanding how to translate them into your space.
At Avery Construction, we don’t just follow trends—we refine them for Florida living.
We balance innovation with craftsmanship, so your kitchen and bath feel timeless, livable, and unmistakably you.
