10 New Home Appliance Trends You’ll Soon See Everywhere

Though we’ve already seen minimalism take over in 2024, it’s a trend that will continue to be popular. Concealed fridges and dishwashers, appliance garages and appliances and cabinetry without handles will all be huge in 2025. While concealed appliances have been around for a while, the ones of the future will be flush with cabinetry, offering a sleek and refined look. Appliance garages, AKA drawers that pull out and contain small appliances, free up clutter on our counters and provide a simplistic aesthetic (which is what minimalism is all about). We’ll also see handles disappear from everything, so all it takes is a simple tap of your elbow to open a fridge or cupboard.

Appliances that are capable of doing more than one thing will be huge in the coming year as they free up coveted space in our kitchens. From ranges that feature air fryer capabilities to dishwashers that can do two loads at once, multitasking is what everyone wants in 2025. Whether you’re tight on space or want to use it as a companion oven in a larger kitchen, our top pick for multitasking is the Miele Combi-Steam Oven. Homeowners can use it for steam cooking, baking, roasting and menu cooking, which allows for cooking multiple items simultaneously (no need to manually select the temperature or cooking duration!). Miele’s Combi-Steam oven stands out from the rest as it features a drain and pump to remove condensed steam, meaning clean-up is easy and there’s zero transfer of flavours among foods. Plus, Miele’s latest models are handleless so they’ll fit right in in your on-trend minimalist kitchen!

When it comes to the kitchen sink in 2025, things are about to get a lot more convenient. Imagine never having to touch your faucet? That’s now a reality thanks to Moen’s Smart Faucet with Motion Control. Homeowners can control the temperature and water flow of their tap simply by using hand motions, like swiping left for hot water and right for cold water. Voice-activated and app-based features are also available, so you can say things like “Baby Bottle” in order to fill a bottle with precisely 10 ounces of water at 98 degrees. This faucet is available in a variety of styles and finishes — from modern to traditional — so choosing one based on your home’s aesthetic is easy, too.

Consumers are looking for appliances that are made from recycled materials or feature low energy usage as sustainability becomes a top priority in 2025. Miele dryers do just that as their heat pump technology saves homeowners up to 60 per cent in energy consumption by reusing the heat it generates. They also boast faster cycles and lower temperatures, which can save homeowners lots during the lifespan of their dryer. Moen also offers products that incorporate recycled materials. Their Verso showerhead, for instance, is made with recycled ocean plastic and is available in an Eco-Performance platform that reduces water usage by 40 per cent (compared to the industry-standard 2.5 gpm showerhead). Brands are happily stepping up to the plate when it comes to our environment!

While some might not be a fan of colour, for others, it’s a necessity when designing their dream kitchen. Smeg appliances make it easy to incorporate colour in the kitchen, with appliances ranging from big to small in all kinds of vibrant hues. Green is expected to be the most popular colour when it comes to appliances in 2025, with searches for “green Smeg fridges” and “Smeg pastel green” soaring already. The Smeg Pastel Green Refrigerator pictured here boasts soft curves reminiscent of 1950’s retro design and can be paired with a matching tap, steam oven, coffeemaker and countless other small appliances. Those without a colourful kitchen might just be green with envy!

Already a trend in Europe where space is limited, smaller appliances are starting to catch on in North America, too. For those without big families or who live in a condo, smaller appliances just make sense. This trend piggybacks off the sustainable appliance trend — consumers are becoming more aware of their consumption and taking action. Plus, smaller doesn’t necessarily translate to inferior when it comes to appliances. Miele’s compact W1 front-loading washing machine is a prime example. Loaded with advanced features like automatic detergent dispensing, smart home integration (so you can control your appliance from anywhere in your home) and a pre-iron function to reduce creasing, this washing machine makes cleaning clothes effortless and efficient.

While it might not be for everyone, a growing number of people are switching from gas cooktops to induction due to indoor air quality concerns. Induction stoves are also growing in popularity as they allow homeowners to heat food much faster than they otherwise could have, and at more precise cooking temperatures. They’re also easier to clean and are known for being energy-efficient, as they only create heat through pots and pans. While many are reluctant to say goodbye to their gas stoves, something tells us we’ll see a spike in homeowners making the switch to induction in 2025.

In 2025, we’ll have more options than stainless steel when it comes to our home appliances. Matte black appliances are currently making a splash and will continue to trend upward in the coming months. Miele is one of the brands recognizing this trend, as they recently launched their Matte Black appliance series. Customers can now purchase handleless built-in appliances and a dishwasher panel featuring the design-forward dark shade. “These appliances are a perfect blend of functionality and elegance, designed to meet the demands of the modern kitchen,” notes Ekaterina Dobrokhotova, Vice President of Marketing at Miele Canada. Move over stainless steel — matte black is having a moment!

In 2025, homeowners want everything at their fingertips and that includes easy access to all of their favourite drinks. From state-of-the-art coffee machines to filtered water and storage for frozen fruits (to make smoothies), homeowners now require a lot from their beverage stations. When it comes to appliances, Miele is known for their countertop coffeemakers that can produce barista-style coffee without the hefty price tag. We love the Miele CM 6360 125 Edition countertop coffee machine, as it’s convenient and saves time —homeowners can remotely operate their machine using Wi-Fi, customize their coffee bean and water ratio whenever they like and even click a simple button to make two specialty coffees instead of one. How’s that for time-saving?

It’s no surprise that consumers are looking for appliances that they can’t hear in 2025, especially when it comes to dishwashers and washing machines. Fisher and Paykel’s Integrated Double DishDrawer Dishwasher fits that bill perfectly, offering an appliance that’s not only incredibly quiet (running at a low decibel rating of 44dBA) but makes cleaning a breeze, too. Two ergonomically-designed dishwashing drawers allow homeowners to either load one drawer while the other one is washing or run both at the same time. This machine even boasts soft-close drawers, meaning you won’t hear it make a peep!
