Daval Furniture, award-winning British designer and manufacturer of quality fitted furniture reveals the latest furniture trends impacting the UK's kitchen, living and bedroom spaces in 2025.
Simon Bodsworth, Managing Director at Daval says, “Our research spans everything from young families and professional couples to multi-generational households, and early indications for next year show that space optimisation will be fundamental to the design conversation in 2025. As trends continue to focus on decluttering the home, UK homeowners are seeking storage solutions that assist with the day to day running of daily life across all floors, and this is creating a deeper appreciation for fitted furniture given its versatile nature, comprehensive range of styles and excellent space making qualities. In 2025, made-to-measure, made-to-order furniture will become the market leader, able to create lifestyle friendly interiors which are on trend and ergonomically designed.”
The best-dressed interiors in 2025, will embrace the following key trends:
LIFESTYLE KITCHENS: The latest kitchen interiors are primed to enhance workflow in 2025, serving as a natural extension to both home and lifestyle with top-level furniture being used across the entire ground floor space. Designed to help any style and size of household running smoothly, practical fitted furniture is lending itself to the creation of ergonomic kitchen layouts, which are supported by adjoining functional areas like a walk-in pantry, hidden utility room or dedicated laundry away from the main kitchen living space. From full height doors, complementary skirting plinths, and island pilasters for grounding the island unit through to the latest built-in appliances at eye level to make cooking and laundry a breeze, the very best kitchens will optimise storage space and maximise liveability.
Style and finish will also tune into the latest lifestyle trends next year, with a preference for both classic and contemporary furniture collections, which bring order, warmth and the feelings of tranquillity. Versatile in-frame Shaker designs will continue to bring a contemporary edge to the classic kitchen space whereas handleless doors and drawers will cater to modern décors, where the fusion of organic elements such as stone and timber will provide a rich, layered effect. Deep blues, leafy greens and soothing greys will remain a popular choice, with darker shades lending a contemporary edge for those craving gentle contrasts.
SOCIAL LIVING: No longer contained by four walls, the 2025 kitchen living space will focus on the social aspects of design with open plan schemes incorporating everything from dedicated coffee stations, breakfast cupboards and wine cabinets through to casual dining, media walls, integrated home bars, and even rec areas! In fact, social living will be a key part of kitchen design next year with planned-in functionality enhancing food prep, home entertaining and everyday life for the long term.
WELLNESS BEDROOMS: The master suite will undergo a makeover next year, as blended living becomes top priority and welcomes hybrid dressing rooms, walk-in wardrobes and en-suite bathrooms being introduced into the sleep zone. Premium storage solutions will include floating dressing tables and floor-to-ceiling wardrobes combined with a variety of mood lighting and reflective surfaces for a truly connected environment. Custom furniture will be pivotal to the overall look and feel of the wellness bedroom with built-in wardrobes top priority! Extremely flexible, look out for designs with clothing rails, drawers, lighting, shelving for shoes, or multi-stack drawer arrangements to ensure the ultimate in boutique style dressing at home.
RAW MATERIALS: The home-centred lifestyle will continue to influence the UK home, as consumers will adopt a more emotional approach to design so, customisation will become the norm in terms of furniture style, finish and complementary hardware and accessories. In fact, key research from Statistaindicates that furniture will be an important consideration next year, as the optimisation of interiors will encourage sustainably made, durable solutions with ethically sourced solid wood furniture, hand painted cabinetry, and UV lacquered custom doors and drawers coming out on top.
