As interior design evolves, wardrobe doors are no longer just functional elements—they are key design features that contribute to the overall aesthetic of a space. Hinged wardrobe doors continue to be a preferred choice for homeowners, designers, and architects due to their versatility, accessibility, and timeless appeal. In 2025, we are seeing a shift towards bold materials, innovative finishes, and smart integrations, making hinged wardrobe doors more stylish and practical than ever before.
Interior Door Systems are embracing these changes with a diverse range of high-quality hinged wardrobe doors, including the Richmond, Warwick, Chelsea, Windsor, Stratford, Lancaster, Oxford, and Winchester styles. Each of these designs reflects the latest trends while offering enduring elegance and practicality.
This article explores the top trends shaping hinged wardrobe doors in 2025, offering insights into how design preferences are changing and what to expect in modern interiors.
1. Textured Finishes and Natural Materials
One of the biggest design shifts for 2025 is the rise of textured surfaces and organic materials. Homeowners are moving away from flat, glossy finishes in favour of tactile, natural textures that add depth and warmth to interiors.
Textured wood grains, reeded surfaces, and brushed finishes are making a strong comeback, creating a more inviting and sophisticated look. Matte finishes in deep, natural tones—such as oak, walnut, and ash—are increasingly popular, adding an element of craftsmanship to wardrobe doors.
The Richmond and Warwick collections from IDS embrace these trends with their timeless woodgrain textures, ensuring a wardrobe that looks as natural as it is durable.
Additionally, the use of sustainable materials like reclaimed wood and bamboo is gaining traction, reflecting the growing demand for eco-conscious interiors. These materials not only contribute to a greener home but also bring a unique, handcrafted appeal to modern wardrobes.
2. Bold Colour Statements
While classic neutrals remain timeless, 2025 is seeing an emergence of bold, statement colours in wardrobe door designs. Deep blues, forest greens, and charcoal greys are leading the way, offering a sophisticated yet dramatic touch to interiors.
The Chelsea and Windsor ranges from IDS showcase this trend beautifully, available in deep navy, muted greens, and rich greys, creating striking yet elegant storage solutions.
Two-tone wardrobes are also trending, with contrasting colours used to create depth and visual interest. For example, pairing a dark matte wardrobe door with soft beige interiors adds a striking balance between bold and subtle elements. Homeowners are embracing these colour contrasts to make wardrobes a standout feature in the bedroom rather than just a functional necessity.
3. Handleless and Minimalist Designs
The demand for seamless, clutter-free interiors has driven a surge in handleless wardrobe doors. Hinged doors with push-to-open mechanisms or discreet recessed handles create a sleek, uninterrupted look, perfect for modern and contemporary interiors.
The Oxford and Stratford collections at IDS reflect this minimalist trend with their handleless, flat-panel designs, offering a refined, elegant wardrobe solution.
Minimalist designs are particularly popular in smaller spaces, where reducing visual clutter helps maintain an open, airy feel. Flat-panel doors in neutral or earthy tones contribute to a clean and calming atmosphere, making them an excellent choice for homeowners looking for a refined yet practical wardrobe solution.
4. Glass and Mirrored Hinged Wardrobe Doors
Glass and mirrored wardrobe doors are making a major comeback, offering both functionality and visual expansion. Mirrored doors not only provide a practical dressing solution but also reflect natural light, making rooms feel larger and brighter.
For a contemporary touch, tinted or frosted glass panels are becoming increasingly popular, adding a level of privacy while maintaining a high-end aesthetic. Wardrobes with smoked glass or metallic accents, such as those found in the Winchester range, are ideal for creating a luxury look in modern interiors.
5. Bespoke Panel Detailing
In 2025, customisation is key, with bespoke panel designs gaining popularity. Homeowners are opting for grooved, fluted, or geometric detailing on their hinged wardrobe doors to add subtle texture and character.
The Stratford and Lancaster collections from IDS incorporate intricate panel detailing, offering a modern twist on classic wardrobe design. These collections allow homeowners to achieve a unique, tailored aesthetic while maintaining timeless appeal.
Traditional shaker-style doors remain in demand, but with a modern twist—thinner panel frames and updated proportions create a refined version of the classic design. This combination of heritage craftsmanship with contemporary aesthetics makes bespoke panelled doors a versatile choice for both classic and modern interiors.
6. Smart Features for Convenience
As homes become more connected, technology integration in wardrobes is on the rise. In 2025, homeowners are incorporating soft-close hinges and push-to-open mechanisms to enhance usability and convenience.
IDS’s Chelsea and Oxford wardrobes now feature soft-close hinges as standard, ensuring a luxurious and noise-free experience. Additionally, the ability to integrate custom accessory compartments is becoming increasingly popular, making it easier than ever to create a wardrobe that is both beautiful and practical.
Built-in charging stations and accessory compartments cater to modern lifestyle needs. These small but impactful innovations add luxury and functionality to wardrobe design, making everyday routines more efficient.
The Future of Hinged Wardrobe Doors
