Top 10 Kitchen Remodeling Trends for 2025 in Fargo, Moorhead, and the Lakes Area
If you're planning a kitchen remodel in the Fargo-Moorhead area or your lake home in West
Central Minnesota, 2025 is full of exciting design trends that can make your space more
functional, stylish, and uniquely yours. Whether you're modernizing your primary residence or
upgrading a vacation property, here are the top 10 trends we're seeing among homeowners this
year.
1. Statement Range Hoods
Say goodbye to hidden vent fans. In 2025, range hoods are bold, architectural, and customized
to stand out. From natural wood finishes to matte black metal, range hoods are becoming the
visual anchor of the kitchen.
2. Quartz Countertops—Still King
Durable, beautiful, and low maintenance—quartz continues to dominate. Homeowners in
Fargo and lake country alike love the stone’s ability to mimic marble without the fuss.
3. Two-Tone Cabinetry
Designers are mixing colors and materials for high contrast and visual interest. Think navy blue
lowers with crisp white uppers, or wood grain bases paired with creamy painted uppers.
4. Large Islands with Hidden Storage
Kitchen islands are no longer just for prep space. In the Lakes Area, where entertaining is a way
of life, homeowners are installing oversized islands with built-in drawers, microwave nooks,
and beverage fridges.
5. Warm, Earthy Tones
The all-white kitchen is evolving. 2025 kitchens are bringing in natural tones—mushroom grays,
soft greens, and sandy taupes—that pair beautifully with both modern and rustic styles.
6. Slab Backsplashes
A continuation of the countertop up the wall, slab backsplashes (often in quartz or marble-look
materials) create a seamless, high-end look that’s easy to clean. This is particularly popular in
modern Fargo homes.
7. Open Shelving (When It Makes Sense)
While full wall shelving isn't for everyone, a touch of open wood shelving adds warmth and
character, especially in cabins and lake homes where the goal is laid-back charm.
8. Hidden Pantries
For homeowners who want clean lines, hidden walk-in pantries are a game changer. They’re
especially helpful for keeping open-concept kitchens clutter-free—ideal for both everyday living
and entertaining.
9. Smart Kitchens
Voice-controlled faucets, app-connected ovens, and LED-lit drawers are showing up in more
kitchen remodels, especially in newer builds and renovations in Fargo’s suburban
neighborhoods.
10. Mixing Metals
Forget about everything being matchy-matchy. Black, gold, brushed nickel, and copper are
all showing up together—think black cabinet pulls with a copper faucet and a brushed gold light
fixture.
