Stay Ahead of the Curve: Kitchen Trends in 2025
Whether you’re remodeling a kitchen in Lomita, Palos Verdes, or Manhattan Beach, staying on top of design trends can help create a space that’s both functional and stylish. At South Bay Design Center, we combine expert insight with high-quality materials to bring these trends to life in local homes.
Top Trends Transforming South Bay Kitchens
1. Two-Tone Cabinetry
Mixing upper and lower cabinet colors adds depth and modern style. Popular pairings include white with soft gray or navy blue with natural wood finishes.
2. Quartzite & Porcelain Countertops
Homeowners are moving beyond traditional quartz. Quartzite and porcelain/Dekton countertops offer durability, heat resistance, and luxury appeal—perfect for South Bay kitchens that entertain often.
3. Smart Lighting Solutions
Integrated under-cabinet lighting, pendant lights, and smart dimmers create both ambiance and functionality. Modern lighting also highlights your countertops and backsplash beautifully.
4. Open Shelving & Functional Storage
Open shelving keeps kitchens feeling airy, while smart storage solutions—like pull-out pantry drawers and hidden appliance garages—maximize space in smaller South Bay homes.
