Watching the honest evolve from the within has been fascinating over the previous 9 years, and 2026 is their boldest leap but. So what’s new for DOMOTEX 2026? DOMOTEX 2026 indicators a transparent shift in focus, construction, and imaginative and prescient – I’ll summarize beneath beginning with crucial change:
No Extra Rugs – A Broader Design Horizon
Sure, you learn that proper. Rugs are not a part of DOMOTEX. As a substitute, the honest has expanded into a way more holistic view of interiors, supplies, expertise, and constructed environments. This evolution displays how we really reside as we speak:
-
Areas are multifunctional
-
Design is deeply related to emotion, wellbeing, and habits
-
Know-how and materiality are not separate conversations
DOMOTEX is now about how environments operate and really feel, not simply what covers the ground, although flooring will likely be there – simply not rugs. Flooring stays a part of the dialog, however solely the place it’s absolutely built-in into the structure and inside idea, moderately than handled as a standalone ornamental component.
A Biennial Rhythm (Each Two Years)
Beginning January 2026, DOMOTEX will now happen each two years. This slower, extra intentional rhythm permits for:
-
Extra significant innovation
-
Deeper development analysis
-
Greater-quality exhibitions and talks
-
Extra time for exhibitors to plan and develop significant merchandise
It’s a sensible transfer and a extra sustainable method, and one which mirrors how design considering itself has matured. I don’t see a must have a good like this one be held yearly.
Beneath the overarching idea “Creating Rooms – Remodeling Areas,” the honest will showcase core flooring classes like parquet, wooden, laminate, resilient and design ground coverings, textile ground coverings, outside surfaces, tiles, and mats & clean-off programs alongside expanded inside design matters akin to wall and ceiling merchandise, acoustic options, paints and wallpapers, and privateness/shading parts — all designed to mirror how areas operate and really feel in actual life.
There are additionally devoted areas like The Stage @ DOMOTEX (the place I’ll be on opening day) for development talks and panels, The Inexperienced Assortment highlighting sustainability and circularity, Retailers Park for commerce and craftsmanship, and THE WORK SHOP for hands-on demonstrations, making the all-new DOMOTEX a vibrant hub for development perception, innovation, and cross-disciplinary inspiration.
