2025 Kansas City Kitchen Trends: Earthy Two-Tone
KC kitchens are getting grounded with Sage Green, Terracotta, and the return of natural stone.
The KC Shift: Organic Modern
Kansas City design is moving towards "Organic Modern"—a style that prioritizes natural textures and calming, earthy colors over high-gloss glam.
The Look: "Earthy Two-Tone"
The tuxedo kitchen (Black/White) is fading. KC homeowners are opting for softer, nature-inspired contrasts.
- Cabinets: A split layout is dominating. Sage Green or Muted Terracotta on the lower cabinets, paired with Soft Cream (not white) uppers.
- Texture: We are seeing a huge return of texture. Travertine backsplashes, Zellige tiles, and matte countertops.
- The Vibe: Grounded, calming, and family-centric.
Local Material Palette
| Surface | Trending Choice | Why? |
|---|---|---|
| Flooring | Slate / Terracotta | Durable tile that hides dirt and adds warmth. |
| Backsplash | Zellige Tile | Hand-made clay tiles with varying glazes catch the light. |
| Counters | Honed Granite | Matte finishes that feel soft to the touch. |
