We’re almost at the end of another year, and we’re incredibly proud of the commercial spaces we’ve created throughout 2024. As we move towards 2025, we look ahead at some of the office interior design trends we can expect to see in 2025, including flexibility, wellness, accessibility, and sustainability. Read on to find out more about these trends, and how they’re showing a continuous shift towards human-centric work spaces.
In our recent blog,
Open vs Private Office Spaces, we explored the importance of finding the right balance between open plan office spaces, built for collaboration and communication, and private spaces, made for productivity and minimising distractions. To achieve this balance, workplaces are being reimagined with modular furniture and adaptable layouts to support diversity, with multi-use areas for activities such as brainstorming, socialising, or simply focusing.
This isn’t the first time biophilic design and wellbeing have seen a mention when it comes to office trends, but they’re just as important (if not more so) going into 2025 as they were last year. Incorporating natural elements into your office design, can help improve air quality, reduce stress and boost productivity. It can be as simple as adding more plants to your workspace, or making a statement with a green, live moss wall.
In addition to biophilic design, dedicated wellness areas are seeing a rise for 2025, such as social or recreational areas for employees to take time away from their screen, and even meditation areas to give staff the chance to de-stress and rejuvenate.
It’s no surprise to see sustainability get a mention once again for 2025, with the environment still very much front of mind for many UK businesses. Eco-friendly materials and furniture reupholstery are growing in popularity as businesses strive to reduce waste and align with corporate social responsibility goals. Companies are also opting for sustainable sourcing and reusing existing resources instead of replacing them.
Advanced technologies, such as AI assistants, smart lighting, and automated energy controls, will continue to grow in popularity in 2025, as technologies continue to advance. This kind of smart tech, when integrated and used in the right way, can streamline workflows, improve energy efficiency, and even enhance the comfort of your employees, so it’s important to keep in mind when thinking about your 2025 office design.
Want your staff to live and breathe your brand and company values? Then it’s important that the office space they’re working in reflects this. Office designs are increasingly reflecting company culture through thoughtful use of colours, materials, and personalisation. This approach strengthens brand identity and creates a unique environment for employees.
Designs are, quite rightly, becoming more and more inclusive, with considerations for neurodivergent employees, as well as those with disabilities. Features like quiet zones, adjustable furniture, and barrier-free layouts ensure that workplaces are welcoming for everyone. By putting accessibility and inclusivity at the forefront of your 2025 office design, you open up your workforce to a wider array of talent to enhance your workforce.
