Transitioning to Smart Kitchen Design in 2025
Kitchen design is all about incorporating the right aesthetics without sacrificing functionality. But in 2025, there’s a new element to add on: smart home kitchen appliances.
Making your kitchen “smarter,” these appliances expertly are innovating kitchens as we know them today. Read more to see why your space will benefit from smart kitchen design principles.
What Defines Smart Kitchen Design?
A smart kitchen refers to a space that features appliances and systems that correspond with Wi-Fi, AI, voice control and automation.
While smart kitchen design is all about highlighting new appliances, it’s also about making your space responsive - in turn, making life easier for you. Plenty of smart tech appliances and systems will help you easily set timers via voice control, start your coffee maker from another location, help track your energy output, and much more.
As a result, your daily routine just got a little easier!

Our Favorite Smart Features for Luxury Kitchens
Developing a luxury smart kitchen looks different for everyone - after all, different homeowners have different needs and preferences. No matter what smart kitchen feature you choose, they all have one thing in common - to make your life a little easier in the kitchen.
Below are some of our favorite smart kitchen design features:
Ovens
Investing in a smart oven is ideal for those that love to bake. For example, many smart ovens will include remote control features, voice activation, advanced sensors, and notifications/reminders. On top of all that, smart ovens are often more energy efficient than standard models.
Refrigerators
Smart refrigerators do an expert job of keeping your foods fresh. Designed to monitor what you’ve got stored, smart refrigerators will alert you when food is about to expire. Certain models will also include interior cameras, temperature control, built-in touchscreens, and voice control features.
Charging Stations
Keep your phone and other devices fully charged at all times with a handy station right in the kitchen. These stations help provide a dedicated charging area to ensure you’re always at 100%. This is also a great smart kitchen feature for entertaining - your guests will thank you for having a charging station handy.
Coffee Makers
This one’s for the coffee fanatics. Smart coffee makers will typically allow you to schedule, start, and/or customize your drink straight from your phone or voice control feature. In fact, some coffee makers are designed to “remember” your preferences (that’s a pretty good virtual barista).

Seamless Integration
Many smart home kitchen appliances are designed to effortlessly blend in with your space.
When browsing the best smart kitchen appliances for your home, consider where you can “hide” or “blend them.” For instance, many smart kitchen appliances can easily blend into cabinetry, countertops, and even backsplashes. This prevents clutter, leading to a visually appealing, flowing kitchen vibe no matter the interior style. A great example of this is a sleek marble island that also features a concealed induction cooktop.
A good detail to remember when searching for smart kitchen appliances is that they’re in your kitchen to enhance - not distract. Stay away from smart appliances that seem clunky or have excessive wiring, and consider ones that are simple to handle.
