Introduction

Looking for home inspiration to refresh your space in 2025? Whether you’re renovating your forever home or upgrading key features like your doors and windows, design-led changes can completely transform the feel and function of your space.

At GFD Homes, we offer more than just products—we provide ideas, solutions, and style. From industrial style-inspired bifolds to composite doors in trending colours, this guide shares how our collection fits into the biggest home trends of the year.

Home Design Inspiration: What’s Trending in 2025?

Modern Heritage

A blend of old and new—panelled feature walls, Victorian colours, and sash-inspired glazing bring warmth and character into any home.

Pair Smart Heritage Aluminium Windows with a Solidor composite door in ‘Painswick’, ‘Blue’, or ‘Chartwell Green’ for that period charm—with none of the upkeep.

Want authenticity? Add a Georgian bar layout and decorative door glass for that classic look, upgraded with modern thermal efficiency.

Modern Cottage & Countryside Chic

If you’re dreaming of country calm, 2025’s cottage-inspired trend continues to grow—with muted palettes, natural textures, and stable doors making a comeback.

Choose from our Stable Door ranges in Solidor or Comp Door collections—perfect for boot rooms, kitchens, or utility areas.

Add warm-toned ironmongery and frosted glass to complete the rustic, lived-in vibe.
