Cashmere Kitchens: 2025 Neutral Interiors Trend

Neutral kitchens have long been a favourite with homeowners looking for timeless appeal, but one shade is standing out above the rest: cashmere.

At Urban Myth, we’ve seen a notable rise in customers opting for this soft, warm-toned neutral, a perfect alternative for those who want to steer away from stark white or cooler greys. Elegant, versatile and quietly luxurious, it’s no surprise that cashmere is one of our most requested colour schemes this year.

Why Cashmere Is So Popular
According to current kitchen trend reports, over 60% of homeowners now favour warm, neutral tones over bright whites or bolder colour palettes.* This shift reflects a broader move towards softer, more comforting interiors and cashmere fits perfectly into that trend.

It’s a calming tone with a subtle beige-grey balance that brings warmth without overpowering a space. Whether used on cabinetry, walls, or accent features, it provides a beautifully understated backdrop that pairs effortlessly with other colours and textures.

What Makes It So Versatile?
One of the biggest advantages of cashmere is its adaptability. It complements everything from natural wood finishes and brushed brass handles to bold splashbacks or dark worktops. It also works across a wide range of kitchen styles,from minimalist modern to classic shaker, making it a go-to choice for many of our clients looking to futureproof their space.

Urban Myth’s Top Tips for Using Cashmere
Whether you're updating your kitchen or refreshing your whole home, here’s how we recommend using this trending tone:

1. Layer Textures, Not Just Colours
Cashmere cabinetry comes to life when layered with texture. Think matte stone worktops, soft-touch laminate finishes, or fluted glass. These subtle contrasts enhance the warmth of the tone while keeping the look sophisticated.

2. Add Depth with Contrasts
Pair cashmere units with contrasting island cabinetry in deep navy, anthracite or even forest green. The result is a high-end look that feels both balanced and bespoke.

3. Bring in Warm Metallics
Hardware and lighting in warm metallic finishes like brushed brass or copper perfectly complement cashmere’s soft warmth and elevate the whole scheme.

4. Use Beyond the Kitchen
This tone isn’t just for kitchens. Use it in utility rooms, media walls, or even bedroom wardrobes for a cohesive flow throughout the home. We often work with customers on whole-house schemes where cashmere plays a unifying role in tying spaces together.

5. Light It Well
Cashmere responds beautifully to both natural and artificial light. Our designers often use layered lighting plans, incorporating under-cabinet LEDs and soft ambient lighting to enhance its subtle tone and create a warm, inviting feel.
