Say Goodbye to These Styles!
The world of home design is constantly evolving, and what was trendy just a few years ago may now be making your space look outdated. As we step into 2025, some flooring, cabinet, and granite styles are on their way out. If you're planning a renovation or simply want to freshen up your space, this guide will help you avoid outdated trends and choose modern, timeless alternatives.

Gray Flooring & Cabinets – A Thing of the Past
For years, gray dominated homes—gray wood floors, gray cabinets, even gray walls. But in 2025, the all-gray aesthetic is making way for warmer, richer tones.
What’s In Instead?
✅ Warm Wood Tones: Light oak, honey, and walnut wood flooring are surging in popularity.
✅ Natural & Earthy Colors: Taupe, beige, and soft greens are replacing cool-toned grays.
✅ Two-Tone Cabinets: Dark wood lower cabinets paired with light upper cabinets add contrast and depth.
Cool-toned gray and ashy floors are making way for warmer, inviting flooring options.
What’s In Instead?
✅ Natural Wood Flooring: Honey oak, walnut, and medium-toned brown woods are trending.
✅ Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP): Textured finishes mimic real wood but are more durable.
✅ Herringbone & Chevron Patterns: These add a stylish, custom feel to flooring.

The flooring featured in this space is the elegant Williamsburg Cheval Urban Peaks Wood Plank, offering a timeless wood-look design with a subtle grain pattern that enhances the cozy, modern ambiance.

Whether you're looking to elevate a bedroom, living area, or entire home, American Flooring, Cabinets & Granite provides high-quality materials to bring your vision to life.

Glossy White Cabinets – Say Hello to Texture
Ultra-glossy white cabinets have been a kitchen staple, but they can sometimes feel too sterile. In 2025, warmer, textured finishes are taking center stage.
What’s In Instead?
✅ Matte & Satin Finishes: These create a softer, more elegant kitchen look.
✅ Natural Wood Accents: Walnut and oak elements bring warmth to kitchen designs.
✅ Subtle Off-Whites & Greige: Soft cream and taupe cabinets are replacing stark white.
Room Inspiration-This breathtaking kitchen blends elegance and functionality with the refined beauty of Wood Harbor Brand’s Biscayne Flush Inset Door from WF Cabinetry, available at American Flooring, Cabinets & Granite.

Speckled Granite Countertops – Time for a Refresh
Granite countertops are a classic, but speckled, heavily patterned styles are losing popularity. Homeowners in 2025 are leaning towards sleek, veined stone surfaces.
What’s In Instead?
✅ Quartz & Quartzite Countertops: These offer durability and a luxurious appearance.
✅ Waterfall Edges: This modern feature enhances the flow of a kitchen design.
✅ Veined Granite & Marble: Large, bold veining creates an elegant, natural look.
Room Inspiration- This sleek and sophisticated kitchen showcases the luxurious Calacatta Storm Gold Quartz, available at American Flooring, Cabinets & Granite.

The Calacatta Storm Gold Quartz not only delivers timeless beauty but also offers durability, stain resistance, and easy maintenance, making it an ideal choice for contemporary kitchens.

Subway Tile Overload – Get More Creative!
Subway tiles are a classic choice, but in 2025, homeowners are looking for bolder, more unique backsplash styles.
What’s In Instead?
✅Hexagons & High Shine: The Bold New Era of Tile Design
✅ Handmade Tiles: Zellige and other artisanal tiles bring personality and charm.
✅ Large Format Tiles: Fewer grout lines make for a sleek, seamless design.
✅ Natural Stone Backsplashes: Marble, quartzite, and travertine are gaining popularity.
Room Inspiration-This stunning space features Artwork Glazed Ceramic Wall Tile in Silver Mini Hexagon by Emser Tile, available at American Flooring, Cabinets & Granite.
