Who knew your nani’s masala dabba was a lowkey trend oracle? In 2025, kitchen design is taking a bold, fragrant turn with cues straight from the spice rack. Think turmeric-bright cabinets, cinnamon-coded counters and storage that’s as smart as your jeera-frying timing.
If your kitchen doesn’t feel a little like a well-organised thali, you’re missing the flavour. Here are some spice box inspired 2025’s kitchen design.
Bringing the heat is Küche7’s Reverie kitchen, which embraces the intensity of red chilli with fearless flair. “This space feels like it’s been plucked straight from the masala dabba and dropped into a design-forward home,” says Naeem Chauhan, founder, Küche7.
The fiery red cabinets and patterned backsplash deliver just the right kick, while a terrazzo island lends grounding texture. Bold yet familiar, this kitchen is “functional, fiery, and unapologetically rooted in Indian identity.” Naeem puts it best: “In 2025, we’re not just cooking with spices, we’re designing with them.”
Haldi isn’t just for cold remedies or wedding rituals—it’s the golden hue brightening up modern Indian kitchens. Dash Square’s turmeric-toned design captures this perfectly.
“Bold, bright, and rooted in tradition—this haldi-hued kitchen is where 2025’s design meets the spice of life,” says Amruth Sampige, co-founder, Dash Square. With sleek cabinetry, open shelving, and vibrant walls, the space becomes more than just a cooking zone—it’s a lively, warm celebration of culture, flavour, and fearless expression.
On the other end of the spice spectrum lies the serene influence of salt. At Nadora by Ritu Gupta, the kitchen is a masterclass in quiet luxury.
“Rooted in the spice-coded trend, this kitchen draws from the purity of salt to evoke a clean, soothing palette of whites and muted neutrals,” explains Ritu Gupta, Founder and Interior Architect. With subtle textures, seamless cabinetry, and ambient lighting, the space is “not just functional—it’s sensorial,” she adds. Think of it as a calm breath between bites, where design meets emotion in the most elegant way.
Earthy and grounding, nutmeg brings a rich warmth to kitchen interiors. Essentia Environments captures this essence in a space that’s all about harmony between tradition and modernity.
“This nutmeg-toned kitchen blends the warmth of Jaiphal with the finesse of contemporary design,” note Hardesh and Monica Chawla, creative head. Matte finishes, natural wood details, and thoughtful craftsmanship come together in what they call “the masala dabba trend in its most refined form.” It’s a kitchen with depth—both visual and emotional.
Jeera’s earthy charm infuses a sense of understated luxury into the kitchen concept by 42mm Architecture. “The cumin brown palette anchors the space with a rich, organic hue that evokes comfort and familiarity,” say Rudraksh Charan and Priyanka Khanna, founders and architects of the firm.
With minimal hardware, seamless cabinetry, and warm brass accents, this kitchen strikes a delicate balance between rustic warmth and architectural sophistication. “It’s a soulful culinary space,” they add—perfect for thoughtful cooking and even more thoughtful design.
Soft, soothing, and subtly aromatic, cardamom finds its way into a kitchen that feels like a sanctuary. Temple Town’s elaichi-toned design is all about calm. “Cloaked in a soft, pistachio-laced green, this space feels like a deep breath in a herb garden,” says Meera Pyarelal, founder and creative director.
With a blend of sleek lines and old-world craftsmanship, it’s “equal parts modern and mindful.” Every element—from the ghee-glide drawers to the soothing tones—whispers understated elegance. “This is the kitchen where design simmers gently, like the start of a really good curry.”
