The upcoming DOMOTEX 2026 in Hannover is already generating significant excitement. With six months to go, the event is experiencing strong demand from exhibitors, particularly due to its expanded concept. This year, DOMOTEX is positioning itself as the key platform for holistic interior design, offering solutions across flooring, walls, ceilings, and more. A variety of global leaders in the flooring industry have already confirmed their participation, highlighting the event’s growing relevance.
Exhibitor Participation and Expanding Segments
Leading companies in the flooring and interior finishing industries have been quick to secure their spots. Global players such as Kronospan, Weitzer Parkett, Amorim, Unilin, and Classen are among the many exhibitors confirmed for the event. They will showcase innovative solutions, underscoring the growing interest in sustainable building and design trends.
With a focus on broader interior design solutions, DOMOTEX 2026 will cover not just flooring, but also acoustic solutions, paints, wallpapers, tiles, and sun-shading systems. This expanded offering is being embraced by companies such as Saint-Gobain, Bostik, and Lanxess, all of which will showcase building chemicals and adhesives.
New segments like paints, coatings, and indoor sun-shading solutions are also generating high levels of interest. Key names like Keimfarben, Erfurt & Sohn, PPG Coatings, and Meffert Farbwerke are already on board. This broad array of exhibitors reflects the industry’s shift toward more comprehensive and integrated interior design solutions.
Global Flooring Leaders Confirm Participation
In the flooring segment, DOMOTEX 2026 will feature industry giants such as Egger, Swiss Krono, Flo.it, Kronospan, and Baltic Wood. These companies represent the best in laminate, design flooring, and wood solutions, offering a full range of products that cater to residential and commercial markets alike. The event will be a prime venue for them to showcase sustainable, innovative solutions that are transforming the flooring landscape.
Markus Oberbauer, Managing Director of Kronoflooring GmbH (Kronospan), said, “We’re excited to once again be part of DOMOTEX in Hannover in 2026. As a manufacturer of laminate and design flooring, Kronospan stands for quality, innovation, and sustainable solutions. DOMOTEX is a key platform for presenting our products internationally and engaging with decision-makers from retail, craft, and architecture. The new focus on Interior Finishing creates valuable synergies and makes the event even more relevant for us.”
Architects Space: Connecting Design Professionals
In addition to its expanded flooring offerings, DOMOTEX 2026 will introduce the Architects Space, a curated hub aimed at professionals in architecture and design. Situated in collaboration with Heinze, this 600 m² space will provide opportunities for architects and planners to interact with cutting-edge materials and solutions. Visitors will be able to participate in Architects Runs—guided tours showcasing the most relevant exhibitors for architecture and design.
B2B speed-dating sessions will also be available, offering exhibitors direct access to highly qualified planners and decision-makers. Furthermore, students from Hannover University of Applied Sciences and Arts will present acoustic prototypes, providing fresh perspectives on functional interior design. This feature will make the Architects Space a central hub for industry professionals to explore innovative solutions.
Acoustics: A Key Trend at DOMOTEX 2026
One of the key trends dominating the Architects Space will be acoustics. As the demand for energy-efficient and multipurpose spaces increases, acoustic design is becoming a crucial element in interior architecture. DOMOTEX 2026 will spotlight acoustic systems that seamlessly combine form and function, addressing the needs of both residential and commercial sectors.
This trend reflects the broader movement towards creating holistic, immersive spaces that cater to diverse functional needs. The event will showcase how materials and systems can work together to create environments that balance aesthetics, comfort, and performance.
Why DOMOTEX 2026 is a Must-Attend Event
With its expanded concept, DOMOTEX 2026 is poised to be a high-impact international event for all stakeholders in the flooring and interior design sectors. The fair will run from January 19–22, 2026 at the exhibition grounds in Hannover, Germany. The strong exhibitor interest and focus on holistic interior design point to a dynamic and forward-looking event that will highlight the latest trends and innovations in the market.
DOMOTEX has earned its place as the premier trade fair for the flooring industry worldwide. The biennial event presents global trends, products, and innovations that shape the future of interior design. Its expansion into new product areas, coupled with its focus on holistic solutions, makes it an essential platform for those in the industry.
The event is organised by Deutsche Messe AG, Hannover. Additionally, DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR, held in Shanghai (May 27–29, 2026), remains the largest international flooring trade fair in the Asia-Pacific region, offering another vital opportunity for global professionals to connect.
With its expanding scope and growing exhibitor base, DOMOTEX 2026 promises to be a landmark event in the flooring and interior design sectors. The introduction of new segments, such as paints, coatings, and acoustics, combined with a curated Architects Space, will make the 2026 edition a must-attend event for industry leaders, architects, and designers looking to stay ahead of the curve in sustainable, innovative building solutions.
