The following is a list of appliances we’re most likely to see everywhere in 2025 – and why they’re so in demand.
Microwave drawers
Previously, microwaves were placed on the countertop – or placed above the stove – but more and more people are now opting for microwave drawers. What’s the difference? A microwave drawer slides out like a drawer, rather than having a door that opens to the side. Aesthetically, it’s more appealing and often tucked away under the countertops. It’s also more accessible, as it’s easier to reach over a stove to use a standard microwave.
Sustainable devices
Some newer devices have additional technology that improves efficiency and sustainability. These eco-friendly features are popular among homeowners, especially those that help reduce waste. For example, Sub-Zero recently introduced a refrigerator with NASA-inspired technology that purifies the air of contaminants and helps extend the freshness of produce.
Insertion areas
Slide-in or backless ranges have controls on the front of the range. This allows the tile backsplash and pot filler to be the focus rather than the stove controls. A slide-in range gives the homeowner the freedom to choose, for example, a full stone backsplash with a shelf, which is slightly more visually appealing and intriguing than a traditional range.
Refrigerator drawers
More and more people are incorporating bar areas as places to entertain their guests. Under counter refrigerators and refrigerator drawers are popular options for these bars—they make them easier to operate by eliminating the need for frequent trips to the kitchen
Smart devices
Smart devices help simplify life and make everyday tasks easier. While they’re already popular in home kitchens, there is no signs of this trend slowing down and will become more popular in 2025. New technologies are constantly being added to these features, bringing them up to date, and the best smart devices are even more in demand.
Ice machines
For many people, the ice maker that comes standard with a freezer or refrigerator simply cannot meet the needs of a household. The solution is under-counter ice makers, which are standard in many restaurants and are slowly but surely finding their way into private household kitchens. Some prefer countertop ice makers, but these can be bulky and unreliable.
Outdoor devices
Garden grills were once considered a luxury. Now, outdoor kitchens have taken outdoor entertaining and meal preparation to a whole new level. From under-counter refrigeration to specialty grills and other cooking essentials, these additions will minimize trips into the home and enhance your entertainment setup.
Panel-enabled devices
Some appliances can be customized with exterior trim to match the existing cabinets in a kitchen – and they’re becoming increasingly popular. These appliances typically have the same depth as the countertops, contributing to a more minimalist, streamlined aesthetic.
