Architects and interior designers are always looking for new solutions that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing, as well as in line with the growing focus on sustainability and energy efficiency. Learn about the latest trends in exterior wall design, including colours, materials and the latest solutions.

 Colours and materials: the biggest trends in 2025

In 2025, exterior wall design will focus on subtle shades that blend in with the natural surroundings. Earthen colours will be popular and used in building materials and finishing details. Shades inspired by nature, such as deep green, sandy beige and warm copper brown will also work well with the growing trend of using natural materials in architecture.

Material combinations – Harmony between the natural and the contemporary

In addition to earthen colours in 2025, one of the main trends in exterior wall design will be the combination of different materials that complement each other. Combining aluminium with wood, glass or concrete enables creating unique visual effects that fuse the natural with the contemporary. For example, aluminium curtain walls go well with wooden details, building a contrasting effect with a dash of the natural look and the feel of the building. Such combinations of materials allow the creation of exterior walls that merge good aesthetic value with performance.

The use of glass and aluminium profiles helps to build large areas of glass that bring natural light into the interiors, while wood and concrete add a touch of warmth and texture, improving the thermal insulation of the building. These solutions make the exterior wall integral to the overarching architectural concept, fleshing out its modern look and functionality

Aluminium exterior wall slats – Aesthetic and functional

Aluminium exterior wall slats are another solution that has a good opportunity of winning in the construction market in 2025. These thin slats, arranged vertically or horizontally, not only serve an aesthetic function, but also provide protection from excessive sunlight, improving indoor comfort and lowering energy bills for indoor cooling.

The slats can be used in various configurations to build modern, dynamic, three-dimensional, and – last but not least – appealing exterior surfaces. Their features make them perfect for commercial buildings, offices and modern single and multi-family homes. They allow managing the sunlight illumination indoors, while providing privacy and protection from the wind. The solutions are particularly useful in cities, where space is limited and the need for privacy and indoor comfort is growing.

The Earthline aluminum slats are likely to thrill many project owners in 2025. They are striking in appearance and extremely easy to install – this is made possible by the snap-in system. Interestingly, they can be integrated with LED lights in the most popular configurations: central, single-sided and double-sided.

Glass curtain walls – Lighting up a take on modern design

Another trend in the 2025 exterior wall design will be glass curtain walls. They have been a trend for at least several years. Large windows, which dominate modern architecture, are still popular.

Glass curtain walls allow maximum use of natural light, which not only improves the aesthetics of the building, but also its energy efficiency. Thanks to modern technologies like non-glare glass, it is possible to reduce the intensity of light reflection, which improves the indoor comfort for you, while avoiding unsightly glare.

Glass curtain walls can be used in various parts of a building, and in combination with aluminium window systems helps in building modernly styled, energy-efficient exterior walls. The exterior walls are very resistant to weather, which makes them an excellent choice for commercial venues, office buildings, and private homes.

Sustainability in exterior wall design

Builders are increasingly often relying on materials that are environmentally friendly and reduce the consumption of natural resources. Considering exterior or curtain walls, this means using materials that are fully recyclable, as well as managing the building’s energy efficiency through proper insulation and the application of energy-efficient technologies. In this context, aluminium curtain walls, exterior wall slats and glass curtain walls become not only aesthetic features, but also practical solutions for energy-efficient buildings.

With the right materials and technologies, it is possible to minimize energy consumption and environmental impact, in line with the global trend in sustainable construction.

Construction closer to nature

The year 2025 promises to be extremely interesting. In architecture, we will see great aluminium curtain walls, exterior wall slats and glass curtain walls that combine modern design aesthetics with excellent performance.
