Interior doors are no longer just functional—they’re now considered key design features in modern homes. As we move through 2025, the world of interior design continues to shift toward clean lines, bold contrasts, and personalized finishes—and doors are following suit. In this article, we’ll take a look at what’s trending (and what’s fading) in the interior door market right now.

Trending: Matte Finishes and Natural Tones

Gone are the days of high-gloss white doors as the default. Homeowners and designers in 2025 are embracing matte finishes, warm neutrals, earthy browns, and soft greys. These tones add subtle contrast to walls while creating a calm, cozy vibe throughout the home.

Interior doors from Kally LTD come primed or painted and can be customized to match these new palettes. Pairing wood mouldings with painted shaker or groove-style doors has become a popular way to blend modern and traditional elements.

Functionality Still Matters

While aesthetics are evolving, functionality remains crucial. Solid core doors continue to grow in popularity for their sound-blocking properties and premium feel. In homes with open floor plans, they’re especially useful in bedrooms, bathrooms, and office spaces.

Features like soft-close hinges, hidden hardware, and custom jamb sizes are now seen as standard, not luxury. Buyers want doors that not only look good but also enhance the overall flow and comfort of the home.

What’s Falling Out of Favor

Hollow-core doors with basic faux finishes are becoming less popular, especially among homeowners investing in long-term value. Standard flush doors are being replaced with shaker designs or groove panels that add dimension and texture. Even classic six-panel doors are being swapped out for cleaner, more minimal options that match today’s simplified design preferences.
