Warm materials, soft shapes and invisible technology: discover the kitchen trends of 2027

The kitchen becomes more personal than ever in 2027. Calm, natural materials remain at the heart of the space, but with added character: dark wood, expressive natural stone and rich colours bring warmth, while soft shapes allow the kitchen to blend seamlessly into the interior.

At the same time, technology is becoming smarter and more discreet, present when you need it, invisible when design takes centre stage. Discover the kitchen trends of 2027, brought to life through inspiring projects featuring Novy products.

1. Rich materials and deep colours: nature with more character

Natural materials remain essential, but they are becoming more expressive. Dark wood, warm brown tones and natural stone with striking veining give the kitchen greater character. Deep accent colours such as burgundy, aubergine, dark brown and rich greens add personality while preserving a harmonious feel.

The Novy Phantom island cooker hood fits perfectly within this rich mix of materials. Its smoked glass adds depth while maintaining an airy feel above a statement kitchen island.

The Novy Panorama Matte Line and Novy Easy Matte Line induction hobs with integrated extraction fit seamlessly into this trend. Their deep black matt glass and understated design pair beautifully with dark wood and expressive natural stone. Matt finishes are also becoming increasingly popular in the kitchen. They create a calm, contemporary look and stay looking beautiful for longer, as fingerprints, reflections and light signs of wear are less noticeable.

2. From kitchen to living space: soft shapes and furniture-inspired design

The boundary between the kitchen and living space continues to blur. Materials extend into wall units and bespoke furniture, while the kitchen island increasingly takes on the character of a furniture piece. Rounded islands, curved worktops and soft transitions create a welcoming aesthetic and a natural flow throughout the space.

The Novy Mood island hood perfectly complements this design language with its organic shape. It almost feels like a light fixture above the island, combining effective extraction with ambient lighting.

The Novy Shelf also fits perfectly within this evolution: an elegant shelf with integrated lighting that is both functional and atmospheric.

3. Het werkblad als statement met technologie uit het zicht

The worktop takes centre stage in 2027. Striking stone veining, tactile surfaces and matt finishes turn the island into a true focal point, while rounded edges introduce softer lines.

At the same time, technology becomes less visible: the more character the materials have, the more discreet the technical features become.

The Novy Undercover perfectly embodies this trend. This invisible induction hob is fully integrated into the worktop, allowing the materials and design to take centre stage. Subtle indicators and LED accents reveal the cooking zone only when needed.

4. Smart technology, discreetly integrated

The kitchen of 2027 is becoming more technological without looking more technical. Smart solutions support everyday life while maintaining a calm, uncluttered aesthetic.

With the Novy Panorama, the integrated extraction tower automatically adjusts to the height of the cookware and disappears when it is no longer needed. By choosing recirculation, cooking odours are efficiently filtered while warm air is retained inside the home.

The Novy Pureline ceiling cooker hood is discreetly integrated into the ceiling, preserving open sightlines between the kitchen and living space while operating whisper quietly. In 2027, technology is no longer designed to draw attention. Instead, it creates more comfort, more space and more tranquillity.

Lighting is becoming more flexible too. With Novy lighting, both light colour and intensity can be adjusted with a simple hand gesture: bright for cooking, warmer when the kitchen becomes a space for dining, gathering or unwinding.

5. Designed for lasting performance

In 2027, even greater attention is being paid to material choices, energy consumption and timeless design. A kitchen should not only look beautiful today, but also remain functional and relevant for years to come.

Natural and recycled materials, energy-efficient induction technology and recirculation all contribute to this. A kitchen that is built to last and operates efficiently is less likely to need replacing, making it a more sustainable choice for the future.

The kitchen of 2027: calm with character

The kitchen trends of 2027 are all about balance: between calm and character, design and functionality, technology and everyday living.

Dark wood, expressive natural stone, soft shapes and smart Novy solutions come together to create a kitchen with character: warm, personal and designed to be enjoyed for years to come.
