As the seasons shift and autumn settles in, homeowners across the UK begin to rethink their interiors, seeking warmth, texture, and a greater sense of comfort in their living spaces. For trade professionals — from interior designers to independent KBB retailers — this seasonal transition highlights key autumn wardrobe design trends, creating an ideal opportunity to showcase new finishes, introduce bespoke wardrobe doors, and refresh showroom offerings in line with current demand.
Interior Door Systems (IDS), a trusted manufacturing partner for over two decades, is seeing clear preferences emerge this season: natural woodgrains, soft matt neutrals, and smoked glass remain favourites, while classic shaker profiles and integrated handles continue to dominate contemporary and traditional projects alike.
“Current trends reflect a move towards minimalism and natural finishes,” says Managing Director Sam Russell, “We’re seeing strong demand for soft greys, taupes, off-whites, and woodgrains that bring warmth to interiors.”
This guide explores how IDS helps trade clients meet autumn trends with bespoke manufacturing, expanded foil swatches, and technical excellence, while delivering the reliability and precision your projects demand.
Seasonal Colour Palettes That Sell
Autumn interiors favour depth and softness. According to Commercial Director Steve Healy, matte neutrals and natural finishes like oak and walnut veneers create a welcoming, grounded aesthetic. IDS’s expanded swatch offering now includes 15 new foil finishes, such as:
- Halifax Oak, rich, rustic, and warm
- Light Grey Linen, tactile and contemporary
- Tobacco Oak, elegant with deep tones
These new additions bring the IDS palette to over 42 foil options, ensuring designers and retailers can confidently offer clients a range of on-trend finishes suitable for any room scheme.
