Kitchentrends 2026

The two kitchen trends for 2026 range from industrial statement pieces to natural, untamed luxury.

The Industrial Force trend centres around concrete-look finishes, black metal, and warm wood aesthetics. In contrast, the Wild Essence kitchen trend showcases a luxurious, characterful space — the new hotel-chic.

The kitchen is no longer a separate room, but the beating heart of the home. In 2026, its role as a living space becomes even more central. Dekker Zevenhuizen translates this development into two powerful kitchen trends: Industrial Force and Wild Essence, each with its own palette of materials and atmosphere.

Industrial Force

Architectural | Futuristic | Minimalistist

Sleek, minimalist, yet atmospheric — that’s Industrial Force. This trend blends rough and smooth, light and dark, warm and cool. Think concrete-look surfaces, black metal, and warm wood textures with a tactile grain, brought together to create a bold yet balanced space.
This layout is a prime example of a typical Industrial Force kitchen. The TopLaminate® Witty Walnut worktop adds warmth with its rich wood grain. The graphic pattern of black, white, and grey gains extra depth through its interplay with wood tones and stainless steel accents, such as the tap and sink. This kitchen proves that industrial doesn’t have to mean cold. On the contrary — a clever mix of materials results in a powerful, timeless look that invites living and experiencing.

Industrial Force dark: Colour Palette and Materials

The darker side of Industrial Force is all about contrast and layering. A dark marble with a bold, angular pattern immediately draws attention. A Taj Mahal shade with grey undertones offers a striking contrast as a lighter material. The trend’s rugged character is enhanced by a white marble-look with a mix of fine and coarse veining. A splash of Salsa or Tibetan red adds tension and depth.

Industrial Force licht: Colour Palette and Materials

In this lighter Industrial Force moodboard, white and grey tones dominate. These materials show that industrial design can also be bright and refined. Three subtle white marble textures pair beautifully with the sandy Taj Mahal look. A wood texture adds warmth to the kitchen. Stainless steel elements and a Gun Metal tap by Osiris Hexagon reinforce the industrial style. And again, a touch of red gives the whole look an unexpected twist.

Wild Essence

Robust | Warm | Luxurious | Natural

Wild Essence is a luxurious, warm kitchen full of character — the new hotel-chic. This kitchen is all about contrast and natural expression. Expect bold combinations of natural stone-look surfaces with warm wood finishes. Striking colours make this kitchen distinctive and intriguing.
The Evora Qstone worktop in Sakura forms the warm centrepiece of this layout — a deep burgundy marble-look with subtle veining. Combined with brown wood aesthetics, soft sandy tones, and glossy metals, it creates a natural, untamed atmosphere. Details like a Lanesto tap in Patinated Brass or Rosé Copper add refinement and luxury to the overall experience. The seamlessly integrated sink gives the space a chic, organic feel. Brown and warm metallics enhance the mood, while wood and stone bring rugged elegance. Wild Essence is a kitchen made for living.

Wild Essence Light: Colour Palette and Materials

The light Wild Essence moodboard breathes natural luxury and tranquillity. Sandy Taj Mahal-look surfaces provide a calm, refined base with a natural feel. A green marble-look with bold brown veining pairs beautifully with rich colours like hunter green and brown. Various wood tones add depth in both texture and colour. The Selsiuz Rond tap in Copper and a cooler wood aesthetic strike a balance between warmth and freshness.

Wild Essence Dark: Colour Palette and Materials

Dark tones, deep materials, and warm metallics form the core of this Wild Essence moodboard. The same light green marble-look with brown veining reappears in a different layout, now paired with other natural stone aesthetics — including a rich red marble shade and other lush marble-looks in various green and brown tones. The elegant Selsiuz Rond tap in Gold complements the natural character of the wood finishes, making the whole space earthy and chic.
