Our favourite real kitchen case studies: Hi, December 2025 issue!

New year, new kitchen? Say hello to the December issue of Kitchens Bedrooms & Bathrooms magazine, out now! This month, we’re bringing you a bundle of inspiration from our top case studies of 2025, the latest launches, and exciting design ideas…

Welcome to the last KBB issue of 2025! And, as I am typing this, we are working on the January 2026 issue. Twenty-twenty-six. I feel the need to write it out properly and make it big and bold, as seeing it numerically doesn’t seem to have the clout I feel it deserves. I’ve been with Kitchens Bedrooms & Bathrooms since 2018, so to be writing 2026 seems a little nonsensical.

However, whether we like it or not, time really does keep on going. But instead of looking back to the past, I want to start 2026 off right – by looking to the future, and all the exciting things that are set to come.

With this year coming to an close, do you have any exciting renovations or redecorating plans for the not-too-distant future? If you do, or if you’re considering taking on such a project, my aim with this issue is to give you as much inspiration as possible.

Four real kitchen case studies, from calming green designs to sleek wood and marble schemes.
