2025 marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of kitchen design and functionality, through constant innovation and an increased focus on sustainability and personalisation. Modern kitchens are rapidly transforming into dynamic and multifunctional spaces, designed to accommodate not only operational activities but also moments of socialisation and sharing - a transformation cemented by products that blend advanced technology, elegant design, and practical innovation, setting a new standard for our domestic environments.
In this article, we’ll explore the main trends of kitchens in 2025, analysing how these new directions are redefining the way we live and interact with domestic environments, and subsequently highlighting how Faber hoods, thanks to their advanced technologies and ever-refined design, offer convincing solutions that align with this 'evolution' in living.
Smart Solutions
The smart kitchens of 2025 are characterised by connected devices and advanced technologies that simplify daily life by optimising our time. These solutions involve smart appliances that start automatically at the right moment, integrated voice assistants that allow remote control for a smoother and more modern experience, and energy monitoring systems to manage and optimise energy consumption.
Perfectly fitted to this scenario, Faber hoods express themselves through technologically advanced solutions such as air quality sensors and K-Link technology found in certain ranges. These are groundbreaking innovations that respectively allow the monitoring and optimisation of air quality in the kitchen for a healthier and more comfortable environment and a reduction in energy wastage and costs by automatically adjusting the extraction power. Making the culinary experience even smoother and more modern, the possibility to control kitchen hoods via app or voice commands further ensures a superior level of comfort and practicality.
Invisible Appliances
Invisible appliances are one of the most intriguing trends of recent times. Discreetly blended into the furniture or the worktop, creating a clean and minimalist environment, these devices represent an ideal solution for those seeking a minimalist design without sacrificing functionality. Elements capable of improving the overall aesthetics of the space, eliminating visual clutter and creating a sense of order and harmony in the kitchen.
Faber caters to this movement by offering concealed hoods – like the Fabula Plus series – that retreat inside the worktop and reappear only when it’s time to remove fumes and odours. Another ideal solution for those looking for essential design without forsaking functionality are the hoods integrated into the hob of the Galileo series, maintaining high performance, while guaranteeing constant noise-reduction efficiency and the ability to utilise the space not occupied by a traditional hood.
Intelligent Storage Spaces
In contemporary kitchens, often characterised by limited space, every centimetre matters. Therefore, intelligent storage spaces today are indispensable: solutions like automated drawers and retractable shelves help maintain order and maximise space, enhancing the organisation of the room.
Meeting these needs, Faber’s Modular and T-Shelf built-in hoods seamlessly integrate into kitchen furniture, maximising functionality without compromising on efficiency. Designed to be ultra-compact yet visible even when not in use, their power ensures excellent extraction even in minimal spaces.
Open and Sociable Kitchens
Open-plan kitchens with multifunctional islands continue to be a popular choice in 2025: creating engaging and dynamic spaces, they encourage socialisation and are particularly appreciated by families and friends who love to gather around food, making meal preparation a shared experience. The absence of physical barriers between the kitchen and the rest of the house also favours less conventional, more sociable and creative furnishing solutions, a feature particularly welcomed by millennials.
In addition to the dramatic pendant hoods, Faber’s ultra-performing ceiling hoods – like the Heaven range of hoods and High-Light – are the perfect response for spacious layouts with a central island: avoiding clutter and ensuring visual continuity between appliance and surrounding environment, they are designed to be quiet yet powerful, promoting a fresh and clean environment thanks to their high performance.
Impactful and Sustainable Lighting
Lighting is a key element in the kitchen design of 2025, capable of transforming it into a welcoming and appealing space and creating a unique atmosphere for every moment of the day. In recent years, there has been an increasing spread of LED technologies: a resource that, in addition to guaranteeing bright and uniform lighting, reduces energy consumption and prolongs the lifespan of appliances.
In line with this trend, Faber hoods with integrated lighting – like the Heaven Light Pro model – offer dimmable LED lighting systems. A feature that not only allows the intensity of light to be adjusted according to different times of the day, enhancing a sophisticated environment, but also helps reduce energy consumption, minimising environmental impact.
Keyword: Personalisation
Personalisation is an unavoidable trait for kitchens in 2025. While lighting reflects the character and style of its inhabitants, creating a unique environment consistent with personal preferences, the integration of modular technologies and flexible solutions allows the kitchen to be adapted to various culinary and social needs.
Faber enters to customise our kitchen with modular hood models boasting versatile and original designs. Among these is the Modular, which with its lattice structure and exclusive smoked glass shelves provides a multitasking framework ideal for organising the cooking space according to individual needs. A forward-thinking solution that allows the creation of a kitchen perfectly tuned to personalisation requirements, both functionally and aesthetically.
Vibrant Colours and Decisive Finishes
Although elegant and neutral finishes are still much pursued, 2025 sees a return to vibrant colours and decisive finishes, adding a touch of zest and style to the contemporary kitchen. Vibrant colours are called upon to transform the kitchen into a dynamic and welcoming space, while decisive finishes like copper and brass lend it a unique and sophisticated character.
Mainly characterised by stainless steel and matte glass finishes, Faber hoods also include models like Beat, available in bright colours such as vibrant green and on-trend blue, and Chloé with its copper and brass finishes, ideal for stylish and pronounced environments. These are all options that allow for an infusion of boldness in the kitchen, creating an environment that corresponds to the character of its inhabitants.
In conclusion, the kitchen trends of 2025 reflect our desire to live in spaces that are both functional, sustainable, and personalised. With its innovative hoods and refined design, Faber epitomises this new way of living the cooking area. Whether it’s advanced technology, captivating design, or space-saving strategies, the products of the Fabriano-based brand are the ideal complement to transform every kitchen into that efficient, welcoming, and contemporary space in which one can recognise themselves and feel proudly satisfied.
