Top Joinery Trends for 2025 – Style, sustainability, and smart solutions

This year, it's all about smarter storage, natural materials, and tailored design that turns everyday spaces into masterpieces.

At Remo Volpe Joinery and Building Services, we’re proud to bring these trends to homes across South Lanarkshire, blending classic skills with modern ideas. Whether you’re renovating, extending, or just craving a little refresh, here’s what’s hot in the joinery industry this year.

1. Sustainable timber & eco-friendly finishes

More of our customers in South Lanarkshire are requesting FSC-certified timber, reclaimed wood, and non-toxic finishes that are kinder to both the planet and your lungs.

What we’re doing - We source sustainably wherever possible, and we’ll always walk you through greener options for timber, finishes, and insulation if needed.

2. Built-in everything

From media walls to mudroom benches, built-in joinery is making a big comeback. Why? It saves space and adds character. We’re talking;

• Custom alcove shelving
• Window seating with storage
• Fitted home office units
• Bespoke wardrobes and under-stair drawers

Tip = Homes in Lanark and Carluke often have older architecture with unique nooks—perfect for bespoke, built-in storage that maximises every square inch.

3.  Two-tone joinery finishes

Think navy and oak kitchens, charcoal and walnut staircases, or crisp white built-ins with natural pine accents.

It’s a classy way to add visual interest without overwhelming a space. And it screams custom.

Tip - Pair cool tones with warm woods for balance—grey + oak is a match made in heaven.

4.  Smart storage & hidden tech

Joinery is embracing tech-friendly designs, with clever features like;

• Pop-up power sockets
• Cable management built into desks and media units
• Hidden charging drawers
• LED strip lighting under cabinets or shelves
  

We can integrate smart features seamlessly into your joinery—no tangled wires or clutter in sight.

5. Heritage style with modern twists

Here in South Lanarkshire, we love our character homes—but that doesn’t mean we want them stuck in the past. One of 2025’s biggest joinery trends is blending traditional styles (shaker doors, panelling, coving) with modern colours and layouts.

Think classic wall panelling in deep forest green or navy, or Victorian-style bannisters updated in matte black.

6.  Minimalist, but not boring

Joinery design in 2025 is sleek and simple—but still warm. You’ll see lots of handle-less doors, clean lines, and neutral tones… but with clever materials like fluted wood, ribbed finishes or textured veneers.

We offer fully bespoke solutions that merge form and function, so your space looks good and works hard.

Whether you're updating your kitchen in East Kilbride, adding custom storage in Hamilton, or creating a home office in Biggar, these trends can add value, beauty, and functionality to your home.

And with Remo Volpe Joinery and Building Services, you’re getting more than trend-driven design—you’re getting local experts who bring craft, care, and creativity to every project.
