Following the success of Heimtextil 2025, preparations are well underway for a refreshed and strategically enhanced Heimtextil 2026, set to take place in Frankfurt. The upcoming edition of the world’s leading textile trade fair will place an even stronger emphasis on holistic interior design—including a major spotlight on carpets, rugs, and innovative flooring solutions.
For the first time, Halls 11.0 and 12.0 will serve as the dedicated platform for the global carpet and flooring industry, providing an expanded showcase for manufacturers, brands, and suppliers from around the world. With more space and improved layout, the Carpets & Rugs section will feature an even greater variety of product innovations—from traditional handwoven carpets to contemporary design collections.
In a significant move, Heimtextil 2026 will also introduce a new segment: Flooring & Equipment, offering a comprehensive display of non-textile floor coverings, including laminate, parquet, vinyl, wood, and outdoor flooring. This addition positions the fair as a key destination not only for the soft flooring sector but also for professionals working across the wider floor covering spectrum.
The new flooring hub, strategically located near the western entrance, is designed to offer excellent accessibility for retailers, interior designers, decorators, architects, and the contracting sector. By combining textile and non-textile floor solutions in one central location, Heimtextil aims to foster synergy and provide a complete interior experience.
Meanwhile, other segments of the fair will continue to showcase decorative fabrics, bedding, bathroom textiles, and interior design concepts, with trend zones curated by notable names like Patricia Urquiola and Alcova Milano. These creative installations will enhance the overall visitor experience and highlight the latest design directions for 2026 and beyond.
With this strategic expansion, Heimtextil 2026 promises to deliver unmatched value to carpet and flooring professionals seeking innovation, sourcing opportunities, and global networking. The fair is set to once again establish itself as the essential meeting point for the entire home and contract textiles value chain.
