Top Kitchen & Bath Remodeling Trends in NJ for 2025
If you're considering a kitchen or bathroom remodel in 2025, you're not alone. Homeowners across New Jersey are investing in their homes with stylish, functional updates that reflect both modern aesthetics and everyday convenience. At RGH Development Co., we’ve had a front-row seat to emerging trends through our design work with Patty, our in-house kitchen designer, and our hands-on renovation projects. Here’s what’s trending in kitchen and bath remodels this year:
1. Warm Neutrals and Natural Finishes
In both kitchens and bathrooms, 2025 is all about warmth. We’re seeing a shift away from stark whites and cool grays toward earthy tones, creamy taupes, and soft wood finishes. Matte black and warm brass hardware continue to be strong accents that bring depth and contrast.
2. Bold Cabinetry Colors
While white kitchens remain a classic, 2025 is seeing a surge in bold cabinetry choices—think deep greens, rich navy, and even matte black. Homeowners in New Jersey are leaning into color to add depth and personality, especially when paired with neutral countertops and warm hardware finishes.
3. Statement Islands and Freestanding Tubs
Massive, multi-functional kitchen islands are center stage in 2025. Often featuring waterfall countertops and built-in storage or seating, these islands make a big impression. In bathrooms, freestanding tubs are back—sleek, sculptural, and the focal point of any luxury bath.
4. Mixed Materials and Texture Play
Combining materials like wood, stone, metal, and tile is a major trend. In kitchens, we’re pairing natural wood cabinets with quartz counters and textured backsplashes. In bathrooms, expect to see stacked tile layouts, fluted vanities, and integrated lighting for ambiance.
5. Sustainability and Low-Maintenance Materials
Homeowners want beauty and practicality. Eco-friendly materials and low-maintenance surfaces like quartz, porcelain tile, and composite decking are popular picks. Water-saving fixtures and energy-efficient lighting are also top priorities.
