Storage has never looked so chic. In 2025, it’s all about blending function with flair, making your home work harder and look better. From clever multifunctional pieces to trending materials like travertine, we’ve gathered top insights (and a few must-have picks) from our in-house experts.


   

1. The End of Open Shelves

Say goodbye to open shelves and bar carts gathering dust—this year, it’s all about closed storage. Not only is it easier to keep tidy, but it also lets you focus on styling fewer, more intentional pieces. “Closed storage options provide plenty of space for all your hosting essentials and require less time spent dusting,” says our buyer, Serena.

If you’re not quite ready to bid adieu to open shelves, our stylist Kim has the perfect compromise: "Pieces that combine open and closed storage offer a practical balance between style and functionality. Open shelves allow you to display your favourite or most treasured items, while closed storage hides clutter and helps you curate what’s on show."

Top Pick: The Joane 4 Door Display Cabinet. Designed by our in-house team, it’s the perfect marriage of practicality and elegance for your hosting essentials.  


   

2. Everything Has Its Place

With the rise of closed storage, 2025 is all about making sure everything has a place—and that place looks stylish. Though it’s not just about keeping things tucked away, it’s about creating a space where every item has a designated spot that contributes to a tidier, more organised home.

Kim suggests: “Trays, baskets, and bowls can serve as go-to spots for smaller items like keys, sunglasses, or shoes—helping to keep your space tidy while looking chic.” When it comes to dining rooms, Kim loves a sideboard: “It’s perfect for my growing collection of plates and vases while keeping the space visually neat and elegant.”

Top Pick: The Lucca Ceramic Display Tray and Hayley Sideboard are perfect examples of functional, stylish storage. The ceramic tray keeps smaller items organised in an elegant way, while the sideboard’s chunky fluted details bring contemporary design to your living space, ensuring everything has its place.


   

3. Multifunctional Marvels for Smaller Spaces

As homes get cosier, furniture that works double-duty is more essential than ever. “If you’re working with limited space but frequently host visitors, a practical yet stylish sofa bed is perfect,” says Serena.

Top Pick: The Porto 4-Seater Queen Sofa Bed in blush. With its sleek design, it’s perfect for compact living spaces that still need to host overnight guests in style.


   

4. Kid-Friendly Yet Elevated Design

Parents, rejoice! You no longer have to choose between style and practicality. “For durable and kid-friendly storage that still feels elevated enough for a shared living space, the Stevie Range is a fantastic choice,” says Serena. “It combines soft, rounded curves that are safe for kids with a sleek, minimalist design.”

Kim adds: “Storage benches and ottomans are perfect for children’s rooms, doubling as toy storage and functional surfaces for reading or play. In living rooms, they can hide items like cushions or throws, keeping the space visually tidy.”

Top Pick: The Duncan Boucle Storage Ottoman Bench is a stylish, soft storage solution for kids' rooms or living spaces. 


   

5. Textured Elegance: Travertine Revival

Natural stone is stealing the spotlight in 2025, and travertine is leading the charge. Its earthy tones and luxurious texture add a timeless sophistication to any room, while being seamlessly incorporated into functional storage furniture. “Our new pieces, featuring solid stone tabletops, are perfect for incorporating this trend,” says Serena.

Top Pick: The Magnus 3-Door Travertine Sideboard and Magnus Travertine TV Unit are standout pieces that bring this classic material into modern homes.


   

6. The Micro-Decluttering Movement

Feeling overwhelmed by big organising projects? Lucy, our Director of Insights & Trends, has you covered. “Micro-decluttering is set to gain traction—focusing on small, manageable spaces rather than tackling overwhelming projects,” she says. “Choosing areas that have the most impact and completing them in a day can make organising more achievable.”
