The black door handle trend shows no sign of slowing down in 2025 and no wonder – the clean finish will suit most décor styles and goes perfectly with the current minimalist trend. But that’s not the only colour trend we’ve noticed here at Tradefit so read on and get the inside scoop on the current trends for door furniture in 2025.

Top 5 Door Trends For 2024 & Beyond

1. Matt Black: The Timeless Modern Choice

Matt black continues to reign supreme in the world of interior design in 2025. Its sleek, sophisticated look complements a variety of design styles, from contemporary to industrial. The neutral yet bold tone of matt black handles makes them a versatile choice, seamlessly integrating into different colour schemes and instantly making any interior look modern and high-end.

Neutral tone interiors continue to be popular going into 2025, according to research by Dulux, which explains why black door hardware remains so popular as the simplicity of black handles enhances the overall aesthetic without overpowering the design.

A common misconception about black door handles is that they scratch easily but this is rarely the case. They are generally more robust than polished brass and chrome and with proper maintenance will last for years. They're easy to clean too, especially when compared to shinier finishes such as brass or chrome - simply wipe over with a damp cloth and they'll look good as new.

2. Brushed Brass: A Nod to Vintage Glamour and Embracing Maximalism

Brushed brass door handles made a surprising comeback in 2024 and continue to be among our best sellers in 2025, most likely due to the maximalist design movement (more is definitely more with this trend).

No longer associated with traditional and outdated style, brass has been at the centre of the vintage revival - think art deco opulence that exudes luxury without looking tacky.

Combining finishes and patterns is a popular trend for 2025 - think brass and black hardware or mixed finish handles such as polished and satin chrome.

We predict brass handles aren’t going anywhere in 2025. Most popular styles are the reeded beehive knobs, which suit vintage interiors perfectly. For a touch of glamour, these art deco style brass knobs fit the bill perfectly.

3. Satin Nickel: The Epitome of Subtle Elegance

For those who prefer a more understated look, satin nickel is the go-to choice that never goes out of style. This finish offers a soft, muted sheen that blends seamlessly with contemporary and traditional décor, without the high maintenance of chrome. Satin nickel door handles are known for their durability and timeless appeal, making them a practical and stylish choice for any home. They work particularly well in spaces that aim for a clean, cohesive look, effortlessly enhancing a room without drawing too much attention.

4. White and Off-White: Crisp and Clean Minimalism

At the opposite end of the maximalist décor, the minimalist trend continues to dominate in 2025, with white and off-white door handles growing in popularity. Inspired by Scandinavian and Japanese interiors, these colours offer a fresh, clean look that enhances the simplicity and tranquillity of minimalist interiors. White and off-white handles work well with a variety of door colours and materials, making them a versatile choice for homeowners. Their crisp appearance also adds a modern touch to any room, making them a popular choice for contemporary spaces.

5. Wood: Bringing the Outdoors Inside

Wooden door handles will always be a popular choice for bringing a sense of warmth to any home.

As more and more people incorporate wooden features into their home by way of wall panels and natural timber furniture, wooden door handles are the obvious choice to harmonise a space.

And it’s not just door handles – we’ve seen a big rise in customers looking for wooden cabinet handles this year, so it’s safe to say this trend is on the rise.

Conclusion

While black door handles continue to dominate interior trends in 2025, it’s really a matter of personal design choice and what suits your lifestyle. Design trends will come and go so it’s important to ensure that your door hardware complements and blends with your overall decor. Consider daily maintenance of the finish and how well the colour fits with the room its going into. Either way, changing your door handles can be a low-cost way of upgrading a space with maximum impact. Find your perfect door handles here
