Key 2025 Kitchen Color Trends

Several overarching trends connect these popular solid surface choices:

1. Sophisticated Neutrals

2025 sees neutrals evolving beyond plain white and gray. Today’s neutral solid surfaces incorporate subtle particulates, gentle veining, or barely-there color casts that add depth while maintaining versatility.

2. Nature-Inspired Palettes

Colors derived from natural elements—from stormy grays to earthy browns—dominate as biophilic design influences continue strengthening.

3. Textural Interest

Even in solid colors, today’s most popular choices feature some element of visual texture through particulates, veining, or surface treatment.

4. Warm Minimalism

Clean aesthetics remain popular but are executed in warmer tones rather than stark whites and cool grays.

Considerations When Selecting Trending Colors

While these trending colors represent current design preferences, consider these factors when making your selection:

  1. Kitchen lighting: Northern exposure kitchens benefit from warmer tones like Beige Travertine or Dune Prima, while southern exposure spaces can handle cooler tones like Chic Concrete.
  2. Cabinet coordination: If you plan to keep existing cabinetry, ensure your trending solid surface choice complements rather than competes with current elements.
  3. Long-term satisfaction: While following trends can be exciting, solid surface countertops are significant investments. Consider selecting trending colors that also have staying power.
  4. Sample viewing: Request actual samples of these trending colors from brands like Corian®, Staron®, and HiMacs® to view in your actual kitchen lighting.

Conclusion

The 2025 solid surface color trends reveal a sophisticated evolution in kitchen design preferences. Moving beyond stark minimalism toward warmer, more textural interpretations of contemporary design, these trending colors offer both aesthetic appeal and the practical benefits that make solid surface the preferred choice for modern kitchens.

Whether you’re drawn to the subtle warmth of Glacier White, the industrial chic of Chic Concrete, or the natural sophistication of Artista Sage, 2025’s trending solid surface options offer unprecedented design flexibility combined with the seamless beauty and durability that defines this exceptional countertop material.

How to Clean and Refinish Corian® and Other Brands of Solid Surface Countertops

Corian® Sonora - matte finish

With the holidays right around the corner, you’re probably thinking about cleaning and getting the house in order before all the guests arrive. Two questions that come up quite often at this time of year are:

  • What is the best way to clean and refinish my Corian® [solid surface] countertop?
  • How can I remove stains from my solid surface countertop?

Whether you have Corian®, Avonite Surfaces®, LG HI-MACS®, Staron®, Mystera®, or any other type of solid surface countertop, the basics are the same since they are all made of acrylic-based resin material and fillers (except Aristech®’s STUDIO Collection® which is a more translucent resin).

Consider the Finish and the Color

Consideration of color is important when it comes to the use patterns and the way stains and blemishes are approached because darker colors show use more than lighter colors.

Before using any type of cleaner or performing any repairs on your solid surface countertop, consider the degree of shine on the finish and the color of the solid surface. The degree of shine on the solid surface finish is achieved by using increasingly finer grits of sanding abrasives. For a glossy shine, after using the fine abrasives, polishing with a buffing pad and polishing compound is the final step of the process. We mention this to assure you that what we discuss below is in keeping with the way the finish was originally applied to your countertops.

Examples of Shine

Examples of shine can be seen in the images of this article. Image 1 is done in a flat/matte finish where none of the objects on the countertop have a reflection. Image 2 has a satin finish denoted by the “not so distinct” reflection cast by the objects on the countertop. Image 3 presents a semi-gloss finish with a moderately distinct reflection. Image 4 shows a gloss finish where the reflections of the objects are distinct.

$ave Money Using Overstock, Remnant and Discontinued Solid Surface

How often do you find yourself rummaging through your solid surface remnant inventory for a color the right size for a job that may not require a full sheet? Have you considered using discontinued or overstock material for a job where you can influence the material to be specified? Below are a few resources on where to find some of this budget-friendly material and potentially save quite a bit of money for yourself and/or your customers.

To help illustrate an example of how one might save, let’s say you bought enough sheets of DuPont Corian® Tumbleweed for a new project. The specs changed midstream and you were just 30” short of material to finish the job. Your choices would be to purchase another full sheet, at roughly $700, or find a smaller sheet online for approximately $300 (including shipping)–that would be a savings of $400.

Save on Small and Large Projects

Other ways to save using overstock, remnant and discontinued material might include:

  • Those projects where you need just another few feet of material to finish the job; or
  • Smaller, limited-budget projects, i.e., when the customer wants a 4’ vanity top, your pricing can be more competitive by purchasing a partial sheet, rather than having to include the full sheet cost in your quote; or
  • Large jobs where a color category is specified, but not a specific color, and you can select from overstock, seconds or discontinued colors that are heavily discounted.
