Farmhouse Kitchens Are Officially Out — These Are the Trends Taking Their Place in 2025
What makes a kitchen great in 2025? Less cookie-cutter, more personal and functional. Kitchen designs are moving away from a copy-and-paste approach and into an era where purpose is key — namely, how you want to use it to gather, to cook, and to connect. That personalized approach is finally opening the door to a lot of fun looks that break the mold — and I am so here for it. I write this as I sit in my 1962 kitchen in all its pink wall oven, Formica counter, and original cabinet (painted a super-saturated green) glory. This kitchen is the opposite of a gut-job demo reno, because it was comfortable and functional as it was; I just wanted it to be a bit more … me. Which is where kitchen design is headed, according to the experts I chatted with. Here are three kitchen trends that designers say are finally fading, plus what's taking their place. Out: Farmhouse Overload The farmhouse aesthetic probably won't totally disappear anytime soon, but it's definitely evolving. What happened? Honestly, it sounds like there's just nothing new left here. 'Designers and homeowners have almost exhausted the idea of bringing up a discussion about farmhouse trends and fresh ideas for this style,' says Peter Wells, senior principal designer at Amerock. Instead: Curated Vintage Authenticity But that doesn't mean people don't want character in the kitchen. They're just finding it beyond shiplap. 'There's this movement toward kitchens that look and feel like they've evolved over the last 100 years, not just installed yesterday,' Kelsey McGregor, founder of Kelsey Leigh Design Co., says. 'Even in new construction, people are asking, 'How do I make this feel like it's always been here?' There's a desire to add history, soul, and texture to spaces that would otherwise feel too perfect or sterile.' According to the 2025 U.S. Houzz Emerging Summer Trends Report, searches for 'vintage kitchens' have doubled compared to last year, while china cabinets and hutches have triply surged as traditional storage makes a major comeback. This isn't about a museum replica of a '50s or '60s kitchen — it's about selecting the elements that add genuine character (hello, pink oven!).Designer Kerri Pilchik has a few words of wisdom. 'Everyone right now is obsessed with English kitchens, myself included, but make sure that you choose those design elements that work for you functionally,' she advises. 'Islands that look like farm tables are beautiful, but think about how you will install electrical and plumbing.' In other words, just because it's gorgeous doesn't mean it makes sense. Out: Monochromatic Kitchens You've surely seen them — those pristine all-white, all-the-time kitchens that look like nothing has ever been cooked in them. 'The overly matchy, all-one-tone kitchen — especially monochromatic looks where cabinetry, counters, and walls blend into a single flat tone — is starting to feel uninspired,' says Moses Brach, head of A&D partnerships at Fabuwood. Instead: Personal Touches Through Color and Natural Materials The replacement? Kitchens that look like, you know, someone's home. Heather Shannon, senior vice president of marketing and communications at NKBA, sees this as part of a broader shift: 'Designs are more and more personal and personalized.' Part of that? More color and more warmth. According to the Houzz trend report, 'color drenching' searches are up four times over last year, while white oak kitchen cabinets have surged 46% year-over-year as part of the broader trend toward wood-heavy interiors. McGregor notices this evolution in wood tones specifically. 'What I'm seeing now is a shift toward wood tones that feel more grounded and aged,' she says. 'We're still using white oak, but the finishes are getting grayer, like Minwax's 'weathered oak' [stain], which has just enough gray to lend a heritage feel. It knocks that brand-new look off the kitchen, which is what people are craving — something that feels like it's been there a while.' Nancy Dow of Sierra Living Concepts is going for bold color in her own home. 'For my own kitchen renovation in process now, my cabinets will be army green and the countertops will be honed Carrara marble,' she says. 'This has been a favorite color of mine for many years.' Which is key, she adds. 'I do love the trend toward colorful cabinets rather than all white, but choose a color that you will love in 10 years.' Additions that make a space look like a working kitchen are on the rise, too, with 'pot racks and other actual cooking tools on display,' says Sarah Robertson of Studio Dearborn. She's also seeing 'more of a mix of materials again; tile, more subtle use of stone, and other materials for texture such as paneling, cabinetry, and metal hoods.' Out: Impractical Storage and Technology Pretty doesn't always mean practical. Take appliance garages: brilliant in theory, frustrating in real life. 'Full appliance garages are amazing but can sometimes be impractical for busy families who use small appliances like a blender, coffee maker, or rice cooker every day,' says Nureed Saeed of Nu Interiors. 'Many of my clients have found that they leave the doors of the appliance garages open all day because the areas get so much use. This can be more unattractive and cumbersome than simply having things on the counter.' The same goes for technology that's more about novelty than utility. 'Smart tech for the sake of being smart — more technology does not always equal better!' says Shannon. 'The rapid speed of innovation has meant that in recent years, appliances and fixtures were hitting the market that had flashy capabilities but unrealistic uses.' Instead: Functional Entertaining Zones Instead of hiding everything away or adding unnecessary tech, designers are creating zones that reflect how people use their kitchens — including for connecting over coffee or cocktails. 'I see more zoned planning in kitchens as the replacement,' explains Saeed. 'So a coffee bar area, a morning prep area with a blender and coffee maker, and then another space for appliances for dinner prep.' Shannon sees this as part of a broader wellness trend: 'We've seen a push towards healthy living and wellness in how kitchens are designed; smoothie bars, beverage centers that don't center alcohol, produce prepping stations.' According to the Houzz report, 'coffee bars' are up 19% over the previous year, while 'dedicated whiskey bars' have nearly doubled, stating that this shows 'desire for easy, accessible, and visually appealing drink setups, perfect for summer evenings with family and friends.' And the designers tend to agree!What do you think about these kitchen design trends on their way out for 2025? Let us know in the comments below!This post originally appeared on The Kitchn.

The Benefits Of Building A Portfolio Career As An Entrepreneur
Do you consider yourself a multipotentialite with diverse interests and skills? For many, a traditional career path can feel stifling. The idea of committing to a single trajectory and spending years climbing the conventional corporate ladder simply doesn't resonate. Instead, a growing number of professionals are drawn to pursuing multiple interests, even if it means juggling various side gigs rather than one steady job. This type of non-traditional career path is also known as a portfolio career. While you might feel out of sync with the dominant culture, the good news is there's nothing wrong with pursuing an unconventional path. Former CEOs, dedicated individual contributors and entrepreneurs have all launched successful, fulfilling portfolio ventures. The benefits of going off the beaten path range from increased flexibility to diverse income streams, which you can explore in detail below. Most people are familiar with the nine-to-five grind. You work predetermined hours, focusing on projects your employer needs completed. While the general gist of your role may involve subjects you're drawn to, you often don't get to define your responsibilities. Your employer shapes your position, usually limiting it to the execution of distinct skill sets. The other aspect of having an employer dictate what you do is that it can change without your control. Leadership may decide to expand, constrict, transform or even eliminate your tasks. You might be part of the discussion, but you don't have the ultimate say. With a portfolio career, you're in charge. You're able to choose the projects you invest your time and expertise in, gaining greater flexibility in determining when and how you work. This also gives you room to experiment. It's a clear advantage realized by Brianna Doe, Content Creator and Founder of Verbatim, an influencer marketing agency. In a blog post, Doe writes about what led her to start her marketing agency and how she's been able to mentor others in launching their own businesses outside of the standard nine-to-five job. As a fellow career and startup mentor, I decided to reach out to Doe to learn more about the biggest advantages she's seen from launching her portfolio career. She says, 'Embracing a portfolio career gave me the space to explore, experiment and actually figure out what I wanted to build. Now, my work reflects me, not a rigid blueprint, not defined by anyone else's version of success or ambition.' Her response successfully exemplifies how building a portfolio career gives you the freedom to shape your work to fit your lifestyle and who you are. It also serves as a helpful case study from which entrepreneurs could learn when starting their own portfolio careers. Also, based on the information she shared about her upcoming book titled The Unapologetic Professional , I learned that she's planning to cover additional portfolio career tips professionals could benefit from. Diversified Income Sources Working a single W-2 job offers a steady paycheck along with benefits. The illusion of security can be comforting because it's predictable: Every two weeks, you get a direct deposit of around the same amount. Your insurance premiums and a portion of your retirement plan contributions are also paid for. But what happens if you're suddenly laid off? Immediately, the illusion of security vanishes. You're left without a paycheck, a convenient way to secure health insurance and 401(k) matches. If you think about it, conventional employment decreases your financial resilience, making you dependent on a company to provide a sole source of income in exchange for your time. A portfolio career diverges from this line of thinking. Because you have multiple income streams , you become more financially resilient. If one client or line of work goes away, you've got other irons in the fire. The risk of losing a paycheck isn't as great, since you have money from other projects coming in. Plus, you can pick up other work to replace what goes away. Linda Le, Content Creator, who built a portfolio career, shares her career story in an interview , as well as how she decided to grow her influence and network outside of work. After reading Le's responses in the interview, I was inspired by her story and reached out to her to learn more. She shared her key motivator behind having a portfolio career, saying, 'I used to think stability only came from one job and one paycheck. But that one paycheck had me burnt out, anxious and constantly worried about what would happen if I lost it.' Thus, her response highlights that a big advantage of having a portfolio career is knowing you can more easily adjust during uncertainty, which gives you financial freedom and peace of mind. Additionally, you're less dependent when you create your own stability, allowing you to focus on your priorities. Develop Diverse Capabilities One of the reasons people change jobs is to broaden their skill sets. They crave experience in a different area or industry, hoping to grow and advance their careers. While traditional employment can provide these opportunities, the irony is that it usually comes with limitations. You might discover you can only go so far within a single company. The role and organization could turn out to be completely different from what you initially hoped. Because you typically can't change a company's structure, its culture or how leadership defines a role, you may eventually find yourself unfulfilled. As you change as a person, you might also want to pursue different avenues that your current employer doesn't provide. A portfolio career doesn't impose these types of restrictions. It's perfectly acceptable to be a social media manager and an IT tech if you desire. You could, for instance, be an independent contractor , managing various companies' social media calendars on the side. During other portions of your day, you troubleshoot computer problems for organizations. On the surface, these two jobs seem completely unrelated. Yet, by working in diverse fields, you'll pick up hidden connections between them. You'll develop broad, transferable skills you can apply to multiple industries. In the process, you'll make yourself more marketable to potential clients and be fully in charge of what experience and skill sets you'll develop. Building A Portfolio Career Disillusionment with conventional career paths is growing, particularly amongst younger generations. A survey of over 1,000 Gen Zers discovered that 50% want to become entrepreneurs instead of working for a traditional employer. They see the added flexibility and opportunity to pursue their passions as more advantageous than what a W-2 job can offer. But you don't have to be a member of Gen Z to want to pursue a career off the mainstream path. Having varied interests and a desire for more control over your professional development can make a portfolio career especially appealing. The advantages you could gain add to your bottom line and offer a sense of fulfillment you can't put a price on. An entrepreneurial portfolio career may not be the most straightforward track, but it's one you can truly make your own.

From ‘jaw bras' to face trainers, experts question the real benefits of face slimming masks
Consumerism has taken nighttime routines to nightmarish levels. Lathering on an occlusive cream and sleeping on a silk pillowcase have been replaced by LED masks, collagen wraps, undereye and lip masks, wrinkle patches, mouth tape and most popularly the V-mask jaw strap. Some refer to them as 'jaw bras,' while others describe them as 'waist trainers for the face.' Regardless of the label, V-masks have been making waves in beauty routines worldwide. Despite their rising popularity and the results sellers promise, they might not provide the permanent results many hope for. For beauty enthusiasts or even casual social media users, it's nearly impossible to scroll through TikTok without encountering a 'morning shed' video. Creators punt products and sometimes affiliate links by sharing their nighttime rituals, as well as the morning aftermath of taking them off, layer by layer. These beauty products have taken over platforms under hashtags like #Vline, #ChinStrap, and #VfaceMask, among others, with related video posts surging on social media, reflecting their growing prominence in the beauty community. According to dedicated users who swear by these masks, they claim they offer multiple benefits, from contouring the face and tightening the jawline to reducing the appearance of a double chin. Even celebrities are jumping on the trend. Kim Kardashian recently made headlines by blending beauty with fashion in her shapewear line, Skims. She launched her first beauty-style product, the Seamless Sculpt Face Wrap, which instantly sold out, sparking mixed opinions online. View this post on Instagram A post shared by SKIMS (@skims) According to Skims, this product features 'signature sculpting fabric' and 'collagen yarns for ultra-soft jaw support.' Inspired by compression bandages used post-facelift surgery, the face wrap retails for $48 USD (upwards of R800). While the product makes claims like 'may help improve jawline definition,' its true benefits remain somewhat vague. Even though many swear by V-masks, experts are sceptical. Professor Chrysis Sofianos, a plastic surgeon and expert in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery, explained the function of these trendy masks. 'They are widely marketed as non-invasive tools to enhance facial contour, reduce puffiness, and promote a more defined jawline,' he said. Further explaining, he added, 'They often apply mild compression, temporarily reducing fluid retention and giving the appearance of a slimmer face.' He also emphasised that these benefits are short-lived. 'Some masks also include ingredients like caffeine, collagen, or botanical extracts, which may contribute to skin hydration and a temporary tightening effect,' he told News24. It's important to note that while these masks may offer a short-term cosmetic improvement, there is limited scientific evidence to support their efficacy in altering facial fat distribution or muscle tone in any meaningful or lasting way. In addition to promises of facial contouring, these masks are said to reduce wrinkles and fine lines, giving a youthful appearance. They are also marketed to promote better sleep by potentially reducing snoring. 'Some face masks, particularly those marketed for jaw support or facial compression, claim to aid in reducing snoring by maintaining jaw position during sleep. In theory, these masks may help keep the mouth closed, thereby encouraging nasal breathing and reducing soft tissue vibration in the throat. 'However, the clinical benefit in treating snoring or sleep apnoea is minimal and not well supported by scientific research,' Sofianos explained. On a cautionary note, he advised those struggling with snoring or sleep-disordered breathing to seek professional help. 'It's advisable to seek formal evaluation by a healthcare professional,' he said. 'Proper diagnosis and management, including positional therapy, oral appliances, or CPAP, offer far more effective and evidence-based outcomes.'
