Colour is making its way back into kitchens in 2025. And German kitchen brands Schüller and next125 are leading the charge with the launch of new colour options across their signature ranges. From earthy Eucalyptus Green and Orient Red to refined Cashmere Brown and Sepia Brown, the new palette reflects a growing appetite for character and individuality in the kitchen.

With the cost of living increasing, and remote working on the rise, people are now living in the homes they've purchased for longer, as well as spending more time in them. In fact, a recent survey by B&Q found that nearly half of the people in the UK have lived in their home for 10 years and have no intention of moving any time soon.

These colour updates reflect the broader movement towards tailoring our living spaces to personal preferences to make them more enjoyable to live in. “Today's kitchens are no longer just functional spaces, they're canvases for self-expression.” says Stuart Dance, Managing Director of InHouse Inspired Room Design. “The recent shift we've seen is a response to the world around us. As people are spending more time in their homes, they're no longer decorating them for faceless future buyers, they're tailoring them to their individual preferences.”

“Historically, there's been a correlation between colour trends and global stability. When times are politically and economically uncertain, people crave soothing, soft colours – they embrace the safety of natural hues and reject the bold tones often preferred in times of stability” says Stuart. “Incorporating muted shades into the kitchen creates a space that promotes self-care and escapism. Homeowners are turning away from the all-white, minimalist aesthetic, and leaning into layered coloured palettes to evoke emotion.” These patterns show that people are choosing colour palettes based not just on aesthetics, but how they want to feel in their space. “We're witnessing a real cultural shift. In the current global landscape – characterised by major powershifts and economic uncertainty it looks like soft, earthy shades are here to stay.”
