If your kitchen’s starting to feel a bit tired or outdated, a renovation might be just what it needs — not just for style, but for better functionality too. At PKS Joinery Fitouts, we specialise in creating custom kitchen renovations across the Central Coast, tailored to how you live and use your space. With so many exciting trends emerging in 2025, there are plenty of smart (and stylish) ways to give your kitchen a fresh new look.
Here’s a look at what’s trending in kitchen design right now — and how we help bring these ideas to life in real Central Coast homes.
Natural Materials That Feel Like Home
There’s a real shift happening in kitchen design: away from cold, sterile finishes and towards warmer, more natural materials. Think timber cabinetry, stone benchtops, and textured finishes that add depth and character. These elements aren’t just nice to look at — they bring a real sense of calm to your kitchen, which let’s face it, is often the busiest room in the house.
We work with a wide range of natural and locally sourced materials. Whether it’s a feature timber island or a splashback made from hand-cut stone, we can guide you through finishes that not only look great but wear well over time.
Using Colour in a Clever Way
White will always be a classic, but right now, we’re seeing more homeowners embrace colour — and it’s making a huge difference. Deep blues, rich greens, and even soft clay tones are turning up in cabinetry, tiles, and accessories. Used thoughtfully, these colours add personality and warmth without overpowering the space.
Not sure where to start? One option is to keep your upper cabinets neutral and introduce colour on your island or lower cupboards. We’ll work with you to strike the right balance so your kitchen feels modern but still timeless.
Open Shelving and Custom Joinery Details
Open shelving isn’t new, but it’s back in a big way — especially when paired with custom joinery. It’s a great way to break up solid cabinetry and show off your favourite pieces (think handmade pottery, cookbooks, or a few trailing plants).
We love helping clients bring a bit of uniqueness into their kitchen with bespoke joinery features. Whether it’s floating timber shelves, a built-in wine rack, or a clever nook for your coffee machine, these little touches can make a big difference in how your kitchen looks and works.
Clever Storage and Seamless Appliances
Integrated appliances are becoming more popular too, especially for homeowners who want a cleaner, more streamlined look. Fridges and dishwashers can now disappear behind custom cabinetry, helping your kitchen feel less cluttered.
But looks aren’t everything — good storage is essential. We focus on practical storage solutions like deep drawers, pull-out pantry shelves, and hidden bins that make life easier day to day.
Design That Lasts
Trends come and go, but quality never goes out of style. At PKS Joinery Fitouts, we take pride in creating kitchens that don’t just follow trends — they’re built to last. That means using solid materials, focusing on thoughtful design, and working closely with each client to get the details right.
We’re locals here on the Central Coast, and we know how important it is for your kitchen to suit your lifestyle. Whether you’re a keen cook, have a growing family, or just want a more stylish place to gather, we’re here to help make it happen.
