Want your kitchen to look as good as your meals taste? In 2025, the best kitchens double as lifestyle sets. Here’s how to bring that editorial flair home.
Use Texture & Natural Light
Mix stone, matte ceramics, and reclaimed wood surfaces. Place prep stations near indirect light sources for soft, directional shadows.
Choose Visual Ingredients
Style shelves with French salt jars, imported olive oils (Graza, Brightland), and bundles of fresh herbs. Alt text: 'Rustic shelf with stacked ceramics, olive oil, and herbs.'
Keep a Shoot-Ready Station
Use a rolling cart or back counter to set up styling boards and backdrops. Best colors: chalk white, neutral taupe, or slate blue.
Photography Pro Tips
Use natural wood boards and neutral linens. Shoot flat-lays from 4 ft. up. Use Lightroom presets trending on Pinterest boards like #TabletopScenes2025.
