RONA Unveils Top Kitchen Design Trends for 2025
Montreal, QC, – Updating your kitchen doesn’t have to mean a full renovation. According to the experts at RONA, one of Canada’s leading home improvement retailers, it’s all about making strategic swaps to embrace the hottest design trends for 2025.
With over 425 corporate and affiliated stores across Canada, RONA is highlighting three distinct kitchen design themes for the upcoming year: Earthy Elegance, Sensuous Dark, and Industrial Chic. Lydia Thammavong, Head of Design, Styles & Trends at RONA, explained that kitchen upgrades remain at the top of customers’ wish lists.
“By selecting a few standout pieces, like new light fixtures, backsplashes, or bar stools, Canadians can achieve the feel of a renovation without the high cost or hassle,” said Thammavong.
1. Earthy Elegance
This theme brings nature-inspired serenity to kitchens, emphasizing quiet luxury. Featuring soft beige and cream tones, shaker-style cabinets, and organic elements like walnut accents and Zeilige tiles, Earthy Elegance combines understated elegance with warmth.
Products like the Décor WOW White Marble Subway Vinyl Backsplash ($63) and the Agua Canada Monti Brushed Gold Bridge Faucet ($599) are among RONA’s top picks to help homeowners achieve this trend. Other standout items include the HomeTrend Palmer Grey Upholstered Bar Stool Set ($199.99) and the Canarm Adalie Matte Black Light Fixture ($184.99).
2. Sensuous Dark
Inspired by luxury hospitality, this moody theme introduces rich textures and dark hues into kitchen spaces. Black-stained woods, bronze accents, and deep colour palettes create an intimate yet sophisticated vibe.
For this look, RONA suggests items such as the Pfister Ceylon Matte Black Kitchen Faucet ($279.99) and Style Selections Black Porcelain Mosaic Wall Tile ($129.99/box). Additions like the Whitfield Lighting Jane 6-Light Chandelier ($231) or the Brassex Brown Acacia Bar Stools ($248) enhance the moody aesthetic.
3. Industrial Chic
For a modern, functional feel, the Industrial Chic trend repurposes elements from commercial kitchens. Stainless steel cabinets, brushed metal accessories, and minimalist touches blend with soft hues to bring warmth to this contemporary style.
Top recommendations for this trend include the Whitfield Lighting Roselee Stainless Steel Chandelier ($300) and the SpeedTiles Hex II Silver Peel-and-Stick Backsplash ($93.99). Stainless steel sinks, like the Allen + Roth 20-in Undermount Sink ($409.99), also complement the industrial aesthetic.
Budget-Friendly Inspiration
Whether it’s swapping out a faucet, upgrading bar stools, or adding stylish lighting, RONA’s curated selections make it easy for homeowners to transform their kitchens affordably.
