Interior designers are planners, craftspeople, consultants and designers all at the same time. Many work alone or in small teams under high time pressure and with a clear goal – to design rooms that are harmonious down to the last detail.

This makes it all the more important to have events that provide guidance, open up new perspectives and support the development of holistic solutions.

Heimtextil 2026, taking place from January 13-16 in Frankfurt, offers exactly that, with a new hall concept that enables targeted comparisons, saves time and provides valuable inspiration for consulting practice.

In Halls 3.0, 3.1 and 4.1, interior designers will find all the components they need for well thought-out room solutions, clearly structured and practice orientated.

Products will be presented according to their use in the room – from wallpaper and window decorations to decorative and upholstery fabrics and floor coverings. This enables interior designers to find suitable combinations more quickly and experience materials in a realistic context. The trade fair tours will also be a practical tool for the everyday work of the designer.

DecoTeam and Design Lounge

A central meeting place for the industry is at the DecoTeam in Hall 3.0, where leading suppliers including Alfred Apelt, Erfal, Höpke Möbelstoffe, Infloor-Girloon, Karl F. Buchheister, MHZ Hachtel and Paulig Teppichweberei will be presenting coordinated solutions for sound interior design. On Wednesday, January 14^th, the DecoTeam invites visitors to a varied programme with inspiration from practice and design. The event will kick off with a lecture on international interior trends by Corinna Kretschmar-Joehnk, followed by a short AI workshop with Axel Ligowski, who will demonstrate how interior designers can implement their creative ideas using new digital tools.

The adjoining Design Lounge will feature an impressive range of brands showcasing their latest collections, including Brink & Campmann, with its top brands Harlequin, Morris & Co, Ted Baker and Wedgwood Home, and the Designers Guild with the exclusive brands Christian Lacroix and Ralph Lauren.

They will be joined by exhibitors such as Haro Carpets, Kadeco Sun Protection Systems, Kobe Fabrics, Otto Golze and Somfy. Also represented will be Stoeckel & Grimmler, with its brands JOOP! Living, Schöner Wohnen and Esprit home, wallpaper manufacturer Hembus, Theo Keller/Theko with the brands Sansibar Sylt, Tom Tailor and Natur Pur, Tisca and Unland with Pierre Cardin.

Rapid access

“Anyone who designs textile spaces in their everyday work needs quick orientation rather than time-consuming research,” says Heimtextil director Bettina Bär. “The exhibitors and brands at Heimtextil 2026 offer interior designers quick access to suitable materials, design ideas and reliable partners – everything in one place, carefully structured and tailored to their way of working. I am particularly pleased that the DecoTeam and the Design Lounge present such a strong variety of brands and exhibitors. This mix of inspiration, quality and design expertise is unique – and anyone visiting Heimtextil should definitely stop by.”
