As we enter a new year, many of us feel the urge to refresh our homes in some way. In 2024, we saw an emphasis on revamping communal living spaces, with bringing the outdoors in being a particularly dominant trend. Natural, earthy kitchen diners that blend seamlessly into outdoor spaces dominated interior design.
However, in 2025, we predict a shift in our focus towards the bedroom, a room should never be overlooked. Your bedroom should be a sanctuary of rest and relaxation. A well-organised, clutter-free space can significantly enhance your mood and well-being.
In this article, we will explore some of the top bedroom storage trends hitting the UK in the spring and summer of 2025. Read on for inspiration on transforming a cluttered space into a calming refuge.
Fitted Sliding Wardrobes
When assessing your bedroom storage, wardrobes are the obvious place to start, as they are typically the largest piece of storage furniture your bedroom will have. Often, the most common cause of clutter in our bedrooms is clothes. Unless you have a dedicated walk-in wardrobe, you might struggle to keep your clothes organised and tidy.
Fitted sliding wardrobes can be custom-designed to your requirements. Floor-to-ceiling wardrobes are particularly popular for their ability to conceal clutter stored in the top shelves, perfect for stowing away out-of-season items.
Whether you need a double clothing rail to hang shirts and coats or ample shelving for delicate items like knitwear, which should be folded rather than hung to avoid stretching, fitted sliding wardrobes can be tailored to your exact needs.
Sustainably Sourced Materials
Mindful consumption is transforming home design, and custom bedroom furniture is no exception.
Mass-produced pieces are out, and responsibly sourced materials are in. Over the past few years, we have learnt more and more about the impact of global warming and deforestation, making homeowners more conscious when buying wooden furniture. That’s why, many people are opting to purchase sustainably sourced pieces from suppliers who follow ethical forestry practices, such as replanting trees to minimise their impact.
Fitted Cupboards
For bedroom spaces with unconventional layouts, finding perfectly fitting furniture can be a challenge. There is nothing worse than ordering a piece of furniture online only to find it doesn’t match your room's dimensions. Whether it’s too wide for a cosy nook or too deep, leaving an awkward-looking overhang, standard-size furniture does not work with every room.
Fitted cupboards offer a seamless solution to ill-fitting furniture. Custom bedroom furniture, like fitted cupboards, is designed with your space in mind. By taking measurements, which match your space's exact height, depth and width, furniture designers can create storage solutions that maximise every inch of space while providing a seamless-looking finish.
Incorporating Mirrored Furniture
Mirrors can light up any room of the house, but they are particularly vital in bedroom spaces. Mirrors are essential not just for practical reasons, like checking your outfit or applying make-up, but also for their ability to enhance space and light.
Mirrored wardrobes are an excellent choice for making small bedrooms feel larger. Mirror panels reflect both natural light from windows and artificial light from lamps and ceiling fixtures, creating a brighter and more expansive atmosphere.
Statement Vintage Pieces
Whether your bedroom has a contemporary look or draws inspiration from another era, vintage pieces can be a great addition to any bedroom. Mismatched furniture can add visual interest to your room. Consider incorporating one or two standout vintage pieces, such as a grand dressing table, an ornate wardrobe or a period-style chest of drawers, for an eye-catching focal point. The beauty of vintage pieces lies in their individuality, adding timeless character and charm.
Drawer Organisers
In 2025, we’re stepping up our organisation. Gone are the days of rummaging through messy drawers in search of a missing item. Dividers can either be adjustable or come in different sizes to accommodate different items and eliminate the chore of searching for clothes. Drawer organisers separate items and hold them in place, preventing the “jenga-like effect” of pulling out one item and disrupting the rest.
Jewellery organisers have become increasingly popular for their ability to keep jewellery neatly displayed and tangle-free. Typically made from a single piece of felt or another soft yet sturdy material, these organisers are designed to fit seamlessly into drawers. With multiple sections to hold rings, earrings, bracelets, and necklaces, they make it easy to keep accessories organised and easily accessible.
Bespoke Dressing Tables
A dressing table is much more than just a place to apply make-up. They create a space that is uniquely yours. From getting ready for the morning ahead to pampering yourself after a busy day, bespoke dressing tables add a level of luxury to your daily routines.
Additionally, bespoke dressing tables offer the advantage of customised built-in storage. This can be engineered to house all your cosmetics, skincare and beauty products in a way that suits you.
Timber Shelves
Timber pieces have always been a staple in interior design. In the past, we have seen a preference for painted wooden shelves that blend in seamlessly with walls. However, in 2025, rather than blending into walls with painted finishes, natural wood shelves are being celebrated for their raw, organic look.
Opt for natural, untreated timber that follows the wood's natural shape and grain. This offers a more natural and rustic look that brings warmth and depth into the bedroom. Whether you want to line your shelves with an abundance of books or sparingly place a few decor pieces, like candles, reed diffusers or an ornament, timber shelves are guaranteed to impress.
Nightstands
A bedside table is more than just a decorative element, it’s a practical storage solution. Matching nightstands on either side of the bed adds a touch of class and elegance to any bedroom. Choosing a nightstand with single or multiple drawers is a great way of keeping your essentials within reach. Whether you prefer to curl up with a book to read or unwind by watching your favourite film or current TV show obsession, having everything you need nearby makes these daily rituals simple.
Accessory Pegboards
Clutter can have a dramatic effect on the peace and tranquillity of your bedroom. Even a few items scattered on surfaces can take away from your room’s neat and tidy appearance. While the majority of your items should be stored away in cupboards out of sight, certain personal items, such as photographs, accessories and posters, can be proudly displayed.
Accessory pegboards provide a stylish and functional way to organise your cherished items, ensuring they are easy to access. Pegboards offer a high level of customisation, allowing you to arrange shelves and pegs into a configuration that suits your needs. Whether used for pen pots, jewellery or keepsakes, pegboards maximise organisation and minimise clutter.
Above-Bed Shelving
For smaller bedrooms, maximising storage is key, and above-bed shelving offers a clever solution. Built-in storage surrounding the bed creates additional space without making the room feel smaller. To make accessing your items practical, place frequently used items in the eye-level cupboards and reserve overhead storage for items that you don't reach for very often.
Whether you choose to have open cupboards with curated belongings on display or prefer cupboard doors that conceal the mountains of belongings, above-bed shelving acts as an efficient way to store bedroom belongings.
Damage-Free Installations
While self-assembly furniture can seem appealing, it is not always as straightforward as it seems. Flat-pack furniture often comes with confusing instructions, missing parts and leftover screws. The consequences of improper assembly can be more severe than the piece simply looking uneven, but also result in instability, posing a safety risk.
Opting for professional installation not only ensures that the piece is properly assembled and structurally sound, it eliminates the risk of causing damage to surrounding furniture or walls. Investing in expert custom furniture and assembly ensures durability but also saves you the hassle of costly repairs later down the line.
