10 bedroom furniture trends to have on your radar for 2025

When it comes to giving your home a refresh, the bedroom always seems to fall last on the list, with kitchens and bathrooms getting most of the limelight. But as the room in which we spend most of our time – whether that's sleeping, getting ready for the day, or even working from home – it deserves a spruce up from time to time.

Now we're not talking about complete renovation bedroom ideas, but by arming you with 2025's most-coveted bedroom furniture trends you can go forth and give your sleep space a stylish revamp for the new year.

1. Return of the armoire

As a fan of vintage furniture trends, interior designer Kathy Kuo is looking forward to seeing the return of the traditional armoire.

'I'm predicting that 2025 is going to be the year of the armoire,' says Kathy. 'Though they've long been in the mix, they haven't always been used to their full potential in bedroom design. I love the practicality – especially in pieces with both shelving and hanger rods – and the dramatic look of a stylish armoire.'

Whether used as bedroom storage for clothing or extra linens, the armoire has been overlooked for far too long. Not just providing ample extra space, it can also serve as a beautiful focal point that adds heaps of personality to a vintage bedroom.

2. Canopy beds

The epitome of Grandmillennial style is making a comeback in 2025 too. Yes, the canopy bed is back en vogue and we're actually super pleased to see its return to favor.

Whether draped in soft, flowing fabrics or left bare for a streamlined look, today’s canopy beds have been reimagined with a little modern twist, offering a punchy design statement that will still fit seamlessly into contemporary homes.

Canopy beds instantly add a touch of drama without feeling overdone or as regal as a four-poster bed. We’re seeing a rise in upholstered beds complete with a draped canopy, plush headboards, and bed skirts that provide a soft and relaxed look with a hint of elegance.

3. Scandi-inspired materials

In 2025, the enduring appeal of Scandinavian design continues to influence bedroom furniture, with a strong emphasis on natural, tactile materials that create a sense of warmth and simplicity.

Bo Hellberg, CMO at String Furniture says: 'We have seen the global appeal for Scandinavian decor continue to grow and grow. In our homes, we increasingly want to incorporate natural materials and textures to create a cozy warmth that connects us to nature and our surroundings.'

Scandi-inspired materials such as light oak, birch, wool, and linen are being favored for their ability to evoke a serene and inviting atmosphere. 'Scandinavian design incorporates just this, a calming, serene feel in the home that offers an utterly timeless aesthetic that will be loved for generations.'

4. Hotel-style headboards

Headboard trends are going to be big news in 2025. Taking our cues from the most luxurious hotel rooms that are designed with your relaxation in mind, whether it’s a tall, tufted design or a sleek, paneled look, a headboard adds a sophisticated, five-star feel to any bedroom.

'Headboards create the focal point in any bedroom space that can elevate the overall look of the room, providing both functionality and aesthetics,' says Clare Schifano, global marketing director at Vispring. 'A beautifully upholstered headboard provides real wow factor and creates a plush, hotel-style look as well as providing extra comfort when sitting up in bed.'

'People spend a third of their life in bed. A good night’s sleep contributes to people’s long-term well-being, so it is well worth investing in the best bed possible,' adds Clare.

5. Built-in bed nooks

Great for small bedrooms, a nook bed (otherwise known as an alcove or box bed), has captivated the hearts of designers for 2025. They not only maximize space by fitting into the architecture of the room but can be customized with hidden (or on-display) storage and provide a cozy haven to retreat into.

London-based interior designer Tiffany Duggan, founder of Studio Duggan, sheds light on the allure of built-in bed nooks, noting: 'I do love a built-in bed nook. In addition to adding a playful and cocooning feel, they are an excellent tool when it comes to the layout of a small bedroom,' says Tiffany.

Think of them as the grown-up version of bunk beds. They can be used for sleeping, of course, but also double up as a reading nook and a place to sit and relax. or 'We often design storage into built-in beds – drawers below the mattress, little built-in bookcases or secret cupboards and wardrobes to the side panels,' she adds. As bedrooms become more versatile, built-in bed nooks represent a growing need for multi-functional spaces and space-saving solutions.

6. Wall-to-wall headboards

Wall-to-wall headboard ideas are making waves in bedroom design too. Creating a statement look, an integrated headboard frames the entire sleeping area to maintain a clean and cohesive look.

Designer Abbie Naber of A. Naber Designs hopes that this is a trend with timeless longevity. 'It's more of a permanence in bedroom design but integrated the headboard can really add value to the space and give you a bang for your buck,' she explains. 'In some cases, it allows you to eliminate the need for art on the wall above the bed and can act as a strong focal point, anchoring the bedroom scheme,' adds Abbie.

Not only do they serve as a visually impactful design feature, but they also provide practical benefits such as improved acoustics and additional comfort.

7. Dark wood tones

'I’m definitely seeing a continued push within furniture and walls for dark wood tones like walnut,' observes interior designer Nicole Hirsch. 'We pair it with light, airy colors to make it stand out and not give the room a dark feel. Having that rich, moody grain within a space gives the room so much warmth,' she adds.

Emily Brownell, founder of Gilded Hearth, agrees. 'For a period of time, we were seeing lots of white-washed wood, black stains, and painted furniture, but I prefer a return to warmth by letting the natural beauty of wood shine. Nature really is the best creator and covering that up takes away some of its soul.'

'Heirloom pieces make a room feel timeless rather than trendy,' adds Emily. 'With grounded furnishings made of quality natural woods, you can really play with trends in bedding or add an unexpected lighting choice. The furnishings should be both an anchor to the room but also items that won't end up in the landfill in a year or two.'

8. Cozy seating areas

Whether it's a plush bench, a window seat bathed in natural light, or an ottoman at the foot of the bed, a focus on standalone seating in a bedroom is a great way to up the comfort levels.

'We're seeing a trend for prioritizing comfort within a bedroom, but still having it feel chic,' notes designer Alexandra Azat, founder of Plaster & Patina and designer of the cozy bedroom space seen above. 'We're noticing clients being more open to built-in nooks and creating smaller spaces to gather vs the larger,' she adds.

'We're also seeing a lot of strategically mixing old and new,' adds Alexandra. Jennifer Barron, of Jennifer Barron Interiors, agrees. 'Whether it's antique or new, a bench at the end of a bed is always a good idea!'

'Benches contribute to the overall fullness of space and act as the perfect finishing layer to a bedroom. Adding a bench to the foot of a bed offers a chance to bring in fun upholstery, as well as a spot to sit and put on shoes, serving both a functional and beautiful purpose,' explains Jennifer.

9. Double ottomans

'When designing small bedrooms, I often use two ottomans at the foot of the bed instead of one larger bench,' notes Jennifer Robin. 'Ottomans are also great in less formal bedrooms or children’s bedrooms as they are more versatile and flexible in location and function.'

Interior designer Kathy Kuo, however, favors a large ottoman for multi-function. 'A larger bench or even a day bed not only draws the eye in a fun way, but it can be practical for a place to stack decorative pillows and throw blankets when you're not using them at night and as just a nice place to lounge for a moment during the day,' says Kathy. 'And if you have a pet? Trust me, pets love these benches!'

10. Hidden technology

Even if you're on the fence whether TVs belong in the bedroom, there's going to be some sort of tech in your space. If you still want to maintain a peaceful and unobtrusive environment, a hidden TV might be your bag.

Designer Jennifer Robin, who created the cozy neutral bedroom seen above, says: 'I always strive to hide the TV and a favorite application is to create a custom piece with a hidden internal TV lift at the foot of the bed (or custom built into the bed itself),' she explains. 'When not in use, the TV easily hides itself away. This is especially important if your bed faces exterior doors or windows that celebrate surrounding views.'

Liz Marchant is also excited about smart furniture. 'Innovations like bedside tables with integrated chargers and adjustable beds tailored for personal comfort are not just convenient but also aesthetically pleasing – and they reduce the need to hide unsightly cords!'

'As people increasingly seek a haven from their hectic lives, it's evident that the focus on comfort and well-being will remain. The key lies in adapting trends to achieve the ultimate goal of self-care,' adds Liz.

Ultimately, the key to incorporating these trends lies in finding what resonates with your personal style. Whether you’re looking to invest in vintage or custom pieces, create a built-in bed nook for added intimacy, or introduce a hotel-style headboard for a touch of luxury, these trends offer endless possibilities to transform your space in 2025.
