Halfway into 2025, the trends this year in closet design and storage are crystallizing. In a time where square footage is at a premium and homeowners are rate-locked, the smartest home designs aren’t just about style, they’re about strategy. Whether you’re working with a city condo or rethinking how your family uses space in a larger home, these 2025 innovations in custom closets and Murphy beds are reshaping what modern living looks like.

Space-saving Closet and Storage Innovations

Closets and garages are no longer just a place to stash stuff; they’re becoming high-functioning systems that make use of every inch:

• Double-height hanging systems pair beautifully with sliding ladders, taking advantage of vertical space without sacrificing accessibility.


• Pull-out drawers that extend fully allow you to reach the back corners with ease, no more mystery zones behind stacks of sweaters.


• Corner carousel systems smartly rotate stored items, turning awkward corners into practical storage.


• Ceiling-mounted bins or racks offer seasonal or long-term storage solutions, keeping floors and shelves clutter-free.
  
  
  
  
  

Compact Murphy Bed Solutions

Today’s wall beds are designed with multi-functionality in mind, ideal for guest rooms, home offices, and flex spaces:

• Twin wall beds in a single unit give kids’ rooms double the sleeping space without crowding the floor.


• Murphy beds with integrated desks and storage make it possible to seamlessly switch between sleep and study.


• Sideways-folding beds are a sleek solution for narrow rooms where traditional setups don’t fit.
  
  
  
  
  

The Big Impact

Smart storage design isn’t just a trend, it’s a transformation.

• With thoughtful planning, you can boost usable storage space by up to 40%—without expanding the footprint.


• Vertical storage can triple the capacity in the same area.
  
  
  
  
  

Key Insights:

When designing for modern lifestyles, the key isn’t going out… it’s going up. Strategic use of vertical space can turn cramped quarters into calm, organized havens. Every cubic foot counts when it’s planned with purpose.

We’re finding more and more families upgrading their current homes instead of moving to a new home. They are creating more space with smart, functional designs that are also beautiful and compliment their existing home.

Murphy beds are becoming more popular because they offer space-saving solutions, particularly in smaller living spaces like condos. For larger homes they allow a room to serve multiple purposes, such as a home office most of the time and a bedroom when needed, without sacrificing comfort or style. Also ideal for visiting family and guests.

Additionally, some of our customers want to add value to their homes in preparation for a future move. They understand that the easiest way to appeal to new homebuyers is having thoughtful storage space that provides more versatility and does not detract from the beauty.
