Interior design is a fascinating dance between the ever-evolving world of trends and timeless aesthetics. In today’s mercurial world, trends are those vibrant themes and patterns that consistently captivate homeowners and designers for a certain period. These trends are influenced by many factors, including socio-economic shifts, global events, the rise and fall of social media movements, among others.
Ever since the pandemic significantly impacted our relationship with our homes, each year we’re seeing an increased emphasis on comfort, functionality, well-being, and individuality - and like every other space, the bedroom too is witnessing changes: a surge in the integration of home offices, the rise of multi-functionality, and a greater focus on creating relaxing and rejuvenating sanctuaries.
Glass as a material has proven to be invaluable in achieving these post-pandemic bedroom design goals. Its transparency and versatility allow for the creation of open and spacious spaces, maximizing natural light and minimizing feelings of confinement, while glass partitions can seamlessly divide a bedroom into distinct zones, such as a sleeping area and a workspace.
Let's delve into the trends that are poised to sustain their momentum from the previous year and discover the exciting new design frenzies that are about to take centre stage in 2025!
SGG Colormaxx Canvas Digitally Printed Glass for Accent Walls
Pattern drenching, a bold design trend, involves using patterns or motifs throughout a space to create an immersive look. The maximalist approach of Kavita Singh’s elegant vignettes or Shabnam Gupta’s signature vintage prints come to mind with this one.
This style can be elegantly implemented in glass bedroom design. Etched, stained, or printed glass can create stunning bed headboards, dividers, or accent walls. Bring any desired vision to life with SGG Colormaxx Canvas, digitally printed glass or opt for fabric sandwiched glass for partitions and wardrobes.
Drench your Bedroom in Bold Hues With Lacquered Glass
This trend is one that is powering right through 2024 and into ‘25! The main reason is that the masses are finally beginning to tire of the minimalist, whitewashed and near-bare interiors of the 2010s.
Colour drenching mainly involves using a single colour or two analogous colours to create a visually striking and immersive space. Now this can be implemented in bedroom design through stunning lacquered glass feature walls and partitions.
The latest rage of terracotta tiles can be interspersed with glass accents in the bedroom for a bold patterned floor. For a more subtle approach, opt for coloured lacquered glass clad furniture like a bedside table or a tinted mirror in shades like bronze, rose gold, etc., to complement the primary colour scheme.
Merge Nature, Beauty and Sustainability with Glass Solutions
Biophilic design, a trend that brings nature indoors, can be beautifully integrated into a modern bedroom using glass to create a serene and rejuvenating bedroom. A glass accent bedroom corner skylight that lets in natural light and offers views of the sky is another great design idea.
Instead of traditional railings and sliding doors, opt for clear or tinted glass for your balcony. These elegant glass railings and doors enhance the aesthetic appeal of the bedroom decor while creating a seamless visual connection.
In a similar spirit, opting for sustainable materials is important for this theme and can be achieved by incorporating natural materials alongside glass elements for a harmonious blend. Sustainable glass choices, like low-carbon or solar-control glass align with eco-friendly principles.
Privacy, Style, and Innovation with Smart Glass
Integrating smart technology into a bedroom can be seamlessly achieved with glass. Consider smart glass windows and partitions that can transform spaces at the click of a button. SGG PRIVA-LITE, a smart glass from Saint-Gobain, transitions from clear to opaque at the flick of a switch, offering privacy and versatility in style. Incorporating such smart glass elements can create a futuristic and convenient bedroom that prioritises both style and functionality.
Mirrored Accents for Cosy and Chic Bedroom Decor
The "soft with an edge" trend is about balancing soft, organic elements with hard, geometric ones. It's a delicate interplay between comfort and structure.
To achieve this trend in a bedroom, consider pairing a plush velvet or boucle headboard with a chic mirror or etched glass bedside table or vanity. An asymmetrical wall mirror or a sculptural accent piece can be beautifully complemented by a geometric tinted mirror or lacquered glass console, creating a harmonious blend of softness and structure.
Mirrored accents, such as the viral art-deco mirror grid or a tinted mirror wardrobe door, can also elevate the space while maintaining a balance between softness and edge.
SGG Colormaxx, Lacquered Glass Clad Wardrobe
Post-pandemic, home decor became an extension of individual identity. Beginning from showing off trinkets from travels, to leaving a part of one’s artistic inclinations on display, people are adding more and more personalised touches to spaces. Glass too can come in handy on this quest to bring uniqueness and vibrancy to bedrooms.
Lacquered glass clad wardrobes in different shades of pastels or vibrant colours can complement a pop culture-themed bedroom. SGG Colormaxx lacquered glass comes in an assorted range of 216 RAL shades to suit distinct styles.
Rich Jewel Tones meet Modern luxury with Glass
Jewel tones, with their rich and luxurious hues, are making a hot new entry in interior design. When paired with neutral tones, they can create a sophisticated and elegant look. This very Martyn Bullard-esque trend can also be achieved with modern bedroom glass ideas. Consider lacquered glass for headboards, cabinets and vanity in shades of deep emerald green, sapphire blue, etc paired with neutral bedding and wall colours, adding a touch of glamour to the bedroom decor.
SGG Colormaxx Dura, the newest range of lacquered glass with 216 RAL shades in the toughened variant, is the perfect choice to bring this luxurious trend to life.
In closing, it looks like the world of design promises 2025 to be a year of excitement and innovation. From the bold and dramatic pattern drenching to the serenity of biophilic design, the focus remains on creating spaces that are both stylish and functional. By embracing these trends and incorporating the versatility of glass, you can transform your bedroom into a true sanctuary – a space that reflects your unique personality and enhances your overall well-being.

SGG Colormaxx lacquered glass available in 216 RAL shades, can add a striking look to the interiors.
Are open-concept bedrooms becoming more popular?
Open-concept living spaces continue to be popular, but bedrooms still prioritize privacy. Glass partitions and sliding doors offer the perfect balance, allowing for a seamless connection between the bedroom and adjoining areas. Available in clear, tinted, or frosted panels, these designs cater to varying levels of privacy while maintaining a modern look.
What role does biophilic design play in 2025 bedroom trends?
The biophilic design emphasizes a connection to nature through glass walls and windows that maximize natural light and views. Use digitally printed glass with botanical designs for wardrobe shutters or wall panels to bring an artistic representation of nature indoors.
What are some space-saving solutions for small bedroom designs in 2025?
Glass offers innovative solutions for compact spaces. Sliding glass doors save space and reflect light to make the room appear larger. Use glass-top desks or nightstands with storage underneath. Install mirrored glass on wardrobe shutters or walls to create the illusion of more space.
