The beginning months of the new year are always a period where Arizona homeowners start thinking about changes they want to make to their homes. A home remodel discussion usually centers around the kitchen and how homeowners can improve it. Arizona homeowners are looking to get more out of their kitchens in 2025. As the lead designer of a Scottsdale kitchen remodeling company, I see a customer base excited for kitchen trends that are new, organic, and functional. A simple paint job or a new appliance will not cut it for an increasingly educated Arizona homeowner. They expect more, and Phoenix remodelers should be ready to provide it to them. Here are ways to help homeowners get more out of their kitchen remodel this year.

Embrace new and organic styles
Arizona homeowners are looking to revamp the idea of the modern kitchen. They want the sleek and aesthetically uniform lines of a modern kitchen without the sanitary and sometimes lifeless look that modern trends can often bring. Enter the modern organic kitchen, which combines sleek modern design with warm and natural organic material. This means warm marble countertops with natural wood-reeded cabinet doors or an island. Arizona homeowners are excited about this recent trend because it perfectly blends the modern with the organic and makes your kitchen seem sleek and alive. Modern organic kitchens are helping homeowners get more out of their kitchens by making them a much more enjoyable and natural space to spend time in.
Creative use of storage
Homeowners wanting a kitchen with lots of storage space is not new, but the modern homeowner wants storage space to be more creative. This means storage space that is both organized and hidden. This means tucking appliances such as microwaves behind doors and installing deeper kitchen cabinets and drawers. Increasing the height of cabinets is also a popular way for homeowners to get more storage without sacrificing aesthetic quality. Even simple moves, such as moving your fridge to another wall, can do wonders for your kitchen storage space. We live in a world where the average homeowner has many appliances, and kitchens need extra storage space to store them. Storage is everything in 2025.
Next level islands
The barriers between the living room and the kitchen no longer exist in most modern homes, which means the kitchen, living room, and dining room are in one large space. This means the kitchen needs to serve as a functional communal space just as the living room and dining room do. A kitchen island is the centerpiece of a communal kitchen space. It is a space for family members to congregate and do everything from cooking, eating, working, and playing. This means having an island that can accommodate enough space for Mom and Dad to prep dinner while the kids have ample power outlets to charge their laptops for homework. The kitchen island has become such an all-encompassing and functional part of the kitchen that, in many homes, it is replacing the kitchen table. A kitchen island that can accommodate everyone is an essential feature for Arizona homeowners.
Arizona homeowners are looking to upgrade their kitchens this year. They want to improve not only the look of the kitchen but also the functionality of it. This means using organic materials to blend in with modern designs, getting creative with kitchen storage space, and centering the space with a beautiful and versatile kitchen island. The kitchen is becoming the communal space in their homes, and homeowners expect more from their remodels in 2025.
