With every passing year, the humble wardrobe evolves and tastes change. In 2025, there is a big trend for wardrobes to maximise storage and functionality while being innovative and space efficient.
In this blog, we will cover all the top trends for wardrobes in 2025.
Integrated Smart Technology
With the rise of smart technology and internet-enabled devices, wardrobes in 2025 are using technology to revolutionise how you use them.
Here are some of the cutting-edge services smart wardrobes can provide:
- Virtual Wardrobe Styling – This clever app can recommend outfits tailored to the occasion, your personal style and the weather using the clothes you own
- Smart locks and biometric authentication – By utilising this, you can ensure only those who live in the house can access the wardrobe
- Automatic lights – This can offer lights that mimic natural light and turn on and off automatically
- Smart mirrors – These can simulate different lighting, ensuring you look good whether you are in light or gloom
- Inventory management – By integrating RFID and barcodes into your wardrobe, you can use an app to document the clothes you have. This will also allow you to see what items you wear most, guiding your future buying habits.
Sustainable Materials and Ethical Sourcing
As people become more focused on reducing their impact on the environment, there has been a rise in the desire for sustainable furniture. One major way people are doing this is by opting for wardrobes made from eco-friendly materials. Alternatively, they may look to ethically source a wardrobe from an environmentally, socially and economically responsible manufacturer.
Modular and Flexible Systems
Have you ever looked at your wardrobe and realised that it no longer caters to your needs? This is a common problem that can make storing your clothes difficult. This is why many people are ditching fixed storage in favour of modular and flexible wardrobes. Modular wardrobes are a tailor-made solution that can be customised to fit changing demands.
Blended Open and Closed Storage
There are two types of storage: open and closed. Open wardrobes allow you to see the clothes within, whereas the closed wardrobe has doors that hide the contents from view.
Traditionally, those seeking out a wardrobe have had to pick either open or closed storage. However, in 2025, we are seeing a rising trend for blended open and closed storage. This offers the best of both worlds, combining the visibility and accessibility of open storage with the privacy and protection of closed storage.
Dark and Earthy Colour Palettes
Earthy tones are in this year, with warm browns, greens and soft beiges, which are known to promote a calming and grounding environment. These colour schemes help to create a stylish yet serene atmosphere. Preferences also lean towards dark colours like black or grey to add a sleek touch to your interior design plans.
Luxurious Hardware and Finishes
In 2025, there is an increasing desire for wardrobes to add a touch of luxury to the room. To do this, interior designers are opting to buy wardrobes made from high-quality materials. This includes selecting the finest wood veneers, elegant glass, mirror finishes and luxurious matt lacquers.
Personalisation and Customisation
When seeking out a wardrobe, there can be the temptation to get an off-the-shelf solution. While this may suffice, it is unlikely to fit perfectly into your room’s layout, design and style. Additionally, they may not offer the best storage to suit your clothing wardrobe.
With this in mind, many people are opting for tailor-made fitted wardrobes. Since they are custom-designed, these fit perfectly into the space and aesthetics of the room. They also allow you to personalise the hanging space, drawers and shelves to fit your clothing wardrobe perfectly.
Multi-functional Wardrobe Spaces
Multi-functional wardrobes are versatile storage solutions designed to do more than just store clothing.
Some common additional features are:
- Integrated desk space
- A hinged foldable bed which is invisible and out of the way when not in use
- Laundry hamper
- A built-in mirror
- Open shelves
- Sliding doors
- Adjustable shelves
- Integrated TV
- Shoe storage
These wardrobes are ideal for rooms with limited space, maximising style and storage. They also perfectly support the functional needs of the room.
Minimalist Aesthetics with Maximised Storage
This year, minimalism is in. This movement dictates that designs use as few materials and colours as possible. It prioritises simplicity and clean lines. Therefore, these unfussy wardrobe designs are sleek and modern, creating a calm and uncluttered space.
Having a minimalist wardrobe doesn’t mean cutting down on your clothes. Many wardrobes with minimalistic aesthetics boast plenty of space for your outfits.
Biophilic Design Elements
Biophilic design is an interior design approach that seeks to bring the outside. By mimicking natural environments, this approach hopes to improve productivity, reduce stress, and enhance wellbeing.
Biophilic wardrobes may be made of wood from sustainable sources and boast soft curves rather than geometric lines. Use of earthy tones such as browns, greens, blues and other natural colours is also recommended. You could also incorporate potted plants or even a living wall into your wardrobe.
