In kitchens, metallic details typically come in the form of cabinet pulls, faucets, and lighting fixtures. But the metallic kitchen trend is encouraging people to introduce metal details in a new way. From brass to chrome, adding metallics in less expected ways offers a more unique way to decorate.
And as this year's kitchen trends continue to champion more personalized style, it's a design feature we're expecting to see everywhere in 2025. We've turned to experts for their take on this emerging trend, plus share five spaces that prove metallic kitchens are anything but outdated – it's the perfect inspiration for introducing it to your own scheme.

In fact, it’s something we’re so passionate about that we even featured it in a TikTok video highlighting how metallic finishes are becoming popular not only in kitchens but throughout the rest of the home as well.
