As we approach the close of 2024, it's the perfect time to reflect on the key trends that have shaped the kitchen design landscape this year and look ahead to the innovative directions expected to define 2025. Mr. Selvakumar Rajulu, Managing Director of Nolte FZE Dubai, shares his insights into the evolving world of kitchen interiors and design.
1. Sustainable KitchensSustainability is no longer a mere buzzword; it has become an essential part of kitchen design. In 2024, sustainability took center stage, and kitchen designs increasingly reflect the growing need to integrate eco-conscious solutions. Nolte Group has consistently led the way in this space, focusing on materials that are environmentally friendly and ensuring that functionality and design are paired with sustainability.
2. Form and FunctionThe modular kitchen designs of 2024 struck a perfect balance between aesthetics and practicality. Designers favored striking color contrasts, structured finishes, and natural, timeless hues that create visually stunning yet functional spaces. A standout addition to Nolte's offerings this year is the Vellutto range, which introduces innovative features like anti-fingerprint surfaces and new, sophisticated color options such as Caramel, Graphite, and Black Green.
3. Open Concept KitchensToday's kitchens have evolved beyond their traditional role as cooking spaces. The open-concept kitchen has become multifunctional, seamlessly blending with the living and dining areas. This shift has allowed for greater efficiency in meal preparation, fostering an environment that encourages social interaction and flexibility. Nolte's modular kitchen designs cater to these evolving needs, offering both luxury and functionality in equal measure.
Building upon the trends established in 2024, the kitchen interior design of 2025 will continue to emphasize functionality while embracing modern minimalism and style.
1. Functional IslandsAs part of Nolte’s ongoing commitment to creating well-thought-out spaces, functional kitchen islands will remain a key design element. These islands are not just beautiful; they are practical, serving as multitasking spaces that facilitate cooking, dining, and storage. Nolte’s focus on “Design meets function” ensures that each layout maximizes every inch of kitchen space, supporting daily living with efficiency and tidiness.
2. Bold ColorsThe kitchen is the heart of the home, and Nolte believes in infusing life into this central space with bold and vibrant colors. In 2025, we can expect to see kitchens that embrace bold tones, complemented by warm whites, greys, and earth tones. This dynamic mix creates a serene yet chic atmosphere that balances elegance with comfort, making the kitchen a welcoming and stylish space for all.
3. Handleless KitchensIn the pursuit of sleek, modern aesthetics, the handleless kitchen will continue to gain prominence in 2025. This minimalist design approach eliminates traditional handles, creating clean lines and uninterrupted surfaces. The result is a streamlined, clutter-free kitchen that exudes modern elegance while offering more organization and easy maintenance.
4. Open ShelvingAs the desire for personalization in kitchen design grows, open shelving will play an integral role in showcasing collections and curated items. In 2025, kitchens will embrace open shelving as a key storage solution, allowing homeowners to display decorative pieces or functional items in a way that adds character and style to the space.
As we enter 2025, the evolution of kitchen interiors will continue to reflect a balance of aesthetics, functionality, and personalization. At Nolte, we are committed to staying ahead of the curve by offering innovative, sustainable solutions that align with the changing needs and desires of homeowners.
These trends showcase how the kitchen is evolving into a dynamic, multi-functional space that is not only about cooking but also about living, entertaining, and personal expression.
We look forward to seeing how these trends unfold in the coming year and are excited about the continued possibilities in the world of kitchen design.

Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru (BLR Airport) has created history by becoming the first airport in India, and among a select group worldwide, to achieve Level 2 Accreditation under Airports Council International’s (ACI) Accessibility Enhancement Accreditation (AEA) programme.
This achievement highlights BLR Airport’s dedication to embedding inclusivity across its infrastructure, services, and passenger experiences, ensuring smoother and more dignified journeys for travellers with reduced mobility and disabilities. The AEA programme is the only global initiative that benchmarks and improves accessibility in air travel, evaluating airports on their policies, facilities, services, and governance frameworks.
By reaching Level 2 Accreditation, BLR Airport has reaffirmed its commitment to continuous improvement, making accessibility a central part of its long-term strategies and operational framework. A dedicated accessibility committee, consisting of airport stakeholders, drives initiatives to enhance facilities and mobility solutions for Persons with Reduced Mobility (PRMs) and Persons with Disabilities (PwDs). Continuous staff training further ensures that assistance remains empathetic, professional, and personalised.
Speaking on the recognition, Satyaki Raghunath, Chief Operating Officer, Bangalore International Airport Ltd, said:
“We are honoured to be awarded the Level 2 Accreditation under ACI’s Airport Accessibility Enhancement programme. At BLR Airport, accessibility is not just a measure of infrastructure, but a reflection of our belief that travel should be inclusive, seamless, and experiential for every passenger. This milestone is the result of the tireless dedication of our entire team and the invaluable guidance from ACI, reinforcing our vision of building an airport that truly serves everyone. While we celebrate this achievement, we see it as a step forward in our continuous journey to make every traveller feel welcomed and valued at BLR Airport.”
BLR Airport has already pioneered several firsts in India, including the Sunflower Lanyard scheme launched in 2022 to support passengers with hidden disabilities, and the introduction of a sensory room for neurodivergent travellers, the first of its kind at an Indian airport. These initiatives, along with global collaborations and partnerships with government agencies and advocacy groups, further strengthen its role as a leader in building barrier-free, inclusive air travel.
With this recognition, Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru reinforces its position as a pioneer in accessibility and inclusivity, advancing the vision of making aviation universally welcoming for all passengers.

The India International Travel Mart (IITM), one of the country’s longest-running and most trusted travel trade exhibitions, is set to return to Pune and Hyderabad in 2025.
IITM Pune will take place from 27–29 November 2025 at Expo Centre, Deccan College, Yerawada.
IITM Hyderabad will be held from 4–6 December 2025 at Hall No. 2, HITEX Exhibition Centre, Kondapur Post.
Now in its 26th successful year, IITM has established itself as India’s biggest travel event, connecting national and international tourism boards, travel operators, hospitality brands, technology providers, and other stakeholders from the tourism ecosystem.
IITM is more than an exhibition, it’s a dynamic B2B platform designed for networking, destination promotion, and business development. With over 200 editions hosted across India, the event has become a trusted launchpad for new travel products, services, and partnerships.
The 2025 editions will feature dedicated pavilions for domestic and international destinations, luxury travel, experiential tourism, travel technology, and sustainable tourism solutions. Attendees can look forward to workshops, buyer-seller meets, and curated showcases designed to strengthen business networks and drive collaborations.
Commenting on the upcoming editions, Mr. Sanjay Hakhu, Director, Sphere Travelmedia & Exhibitions, said: “India International Travel Mart has become a landmark event in India’s tourism calendar. It plays a vital role in driving growth by fostering direct engagement between destinations, travel brands, and buyers.”
Mr. Rohit Hangal, Director, Sphere Travelmedia & Exhibitions, added:
“With Pune and Hyderabad being among India’s fastest-growing tourism markets, hosting IITM in these cities allows us to bring together key stakeholders, promote destinations, and create stronger networks for the industry.”
Both host cities represent high-potential travel markets:
Pune is a thriving hub for education, IT, automotive, and manufacturing, with strong leisure and MICE travel demand driven by its young professional base and proximity to the Western Ghats.
Hyderabad, also known as “Cyberabad,” is a leading IT, biotech, and pharma hub, with a growing middle-class population and strong infrastructure, making it a significant market for business and leisure tourism.
This year’s editions will place special emphasis on:
Sustainable Tourism – showcasing eco-friendly travel solutions and responsible hospitality initiatives.
Emerging Travel Technologies – including AI-driven planning tools, VR travel experiences, contactless systems, and blockchain-based security.
Business Networking – creating opportunities for exhibitors to connect with buyers, partners, and investors through curated B2B meetings.
As India’s outbound travel market continues to boom, expected to surpass USD 44 billion by 2032, IITM stands as a strategic gateway for industry players to connect, collaborate, and capitalize on new opportunities.
