2025 is the year that we pay closer attention to the impact our interiors have on the day-to-day. With our homes quickly evolving into personal spaces that reflect not only who we are but how we want to feel, we’re excited to see the role bifold doors will have in supporting this.
Perhaps it’s the volume of natural light they welcome into your space, the connection with nature or their ability to lower energy bills – whatever the reason, this year we believe bifolding doors will hold space as a powerful design element.
If the New Year marks a fresh start for you, let this guide provide all the interior inspiration you need. Throughout, you’ll discover the latest 2025 bifold door trends that will help you create an open, balanced and welcoming home.
Let’s get started, shall we?
In 2025, we expect to see a shift from bright whites to modern shades that add depth and character to any space. More specifically, we’re predicting that anthracite grey bifold doors will boom. After all, it’s a versatile shade that complements both modern and traditional interior schemes.
With anthracite grey as the front-runner, we also expect to see matte black gain traction for its industrial style. The dark, sophisticated finish creates a dramatic contrast – we can’t wait to see it paired with light walls and natural woods.
With such a wide variety of bifold door colours, homeowners can easily personalise their space by selecting a shade that resonates with their style and preferences. You can always talk to our team to discuss your options further.
This year, we want to see aluminium bifold doors as the new standard. Offering a balance of strength and style, they’re worth the investment if you’re looking to make smarter financial goals in 2025.
In fact, one of the key reasons we’re keen to see the growing popularity of aluminium frames is their ability to offer a slim, minimalist design without compromising strength. It’s an incredibly durable material that will last much longer than alternative bifold door materials, with minimal maintenance! No warping, cracking or repainting – just a long lasting finish that can handle everything from the UK’s unpredictable weather to the typical wear and tear of family life.
Speaking of slimline frames, we anticipate to see more of these installations this year. These frames are exactly what they sound like – minimalist, narrow profiles that maximise the glass area and reduce the visual bulk of the frame.

The appeal of this bifold door style also lies in its ability to let in more light. They’re perfect for homeowners who are looking to create the illusion of more space as the reduced frame creates an expansive and open design to make your home feel spacious.
Over the years, the variety of different bifold door configurations has massively expanded. Sure, a 2 panel bifold door still looks great in today’s UK homes, but we expect to see an increase in demand for larger systems, such as the 3 panel bifold door.
These large bifold doors have a design that creates an expansive, panoramic view of the outdoors. We think they’re particularly suitable for larger rooms, open plan spaces or areas that could benefit from being a little bit brighter.
Driven by rising energy costs and updates to UK legislation, energy efficiency has become a top priority for many homeowners. Sustainability has also crept into the forefront of home design in 2025, and bifold doors are a great solution to support just that.
With thermally broken aluminium frames and low U-values, bi fold doors can help maintain indoor temperature year-round, reducing reliance on heating and cooling systems and also the need for artificial lighting.
We expect to see more internal installations of bifold doors, alongside the choice for interior/external patio doors and garden access. Our reasoning behind this is the growing trend of open-plan living – something that bifold doors help to create, whether this is dividing a kitchen and living room, or even the office.
Another factor is the desire to improve the reach of natural light throughout the home. It’s a well known tip amongst interior designers and architects that natural light is a game-changer for commercial and domestic spaces. It’s often the preferred method of illumination that can impact both your interior scheme and wellbeing. Let’s explore this further..
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, a spotlight has been shone on individual wellbeing. It’s something that we’ve all learnt to reprioritise within our lives, and we’ve started to see this shift make its way into our homes.
We’d like to see more customers view bifold doors as a solution that not only looks great, but can support wellbeing wherever they’re installed. One of their most notable features is the ability to flood spaces with natural light – an element that has a profound effect on both mental and physical health.
Importantly, natural light has been continually tied with improved moods, sharpened focus and can even support better sleep patterns by regulating your body’s natural circadian rhythm. For homeowners, bifold doors can therefore be a great solution to create happier, healthier homes.
As we head into 2025, it’s clear that bifold doors will be making more of an appearance in interior design. With this year’s trends focusing on creating spaces that reflect our lifestyles and priorities (whether for you that looks like wellbeing, energy efficiency or exploring new bifold door styles), it’s the perfect time to get a fresh start.
