Space Saving Solutions
Renovating small-scale rooms is predicted to be a big focus in 2025 and a recent study2 suggested that the addition of a second bathroom or refurbishing small and disused cloakrooms increases the value of a property by up to 6%. A global focus on personal wellbeing has sparked a transition into turning bathrooms into personal sanctuaries and 2025 is set to see people prioritising relaxation and taking a more creative approach to aesthetics and smaller spaces. Knowing what the trends are and being able to provide the full bathroom package – from mirrors and cabinets, sanitaryware to lighting, furniture and complementary accessories– will make for a happy customer in 2025 and beyond!

Prioritising sustainable and
smart technology in 2025 "Sustainability and energy efficiency remain a top priority for homeowners, as they look to make more long-lasting design choices, lower their energy consumption and save on energy bills. This is set to be the main driver for trends in 2025 and beyond, with demand only growing for appliances that support the reduction of food waste, have energy-saving capabilities, and offer longer lifecycles compared to other white goods on the market.
Consumers are also seeking greater convenience in the kitchen, expecting appliances to work harder and smarter. For instance, technologies like hands-free operation and smart home integration are becoming more popular. At Liebherr, we've responded to these trends with features such as AutoDoor technology, which allows users to open their fridge with a knocking signal or voice command, and SmartDevice, which enables remote control of refrigeration from a smartphone. Additionally, our appliances incorporate freshness innovations to further reduce food waste, ensuring that our products meet modern expectations for functionality and convenience."
