Domotex reinvents itself

Domotex 2026 will present itself in a fundamentally new form from 19–22 January – and this particularly affects the segment of area rugs. With a registration level of over 90 % and the shift to a biennial cycle, the trade fair is repositioning itself strategically and placing a stronger focus on holistic interior finishing than ever before. In the official digital press conference, the product group of area rugs was not mentioned, and the current exhibitor list shows that rug suppliers will only be represented in a smaller area, concentrated in Hall 23.

Despite the reduced rug presence, Domotex is significantly expanding its overall offering. Under the motto “Creating Rooms. Transforming Spaces”, new categories such as ceramic tiles, wall and ceiling systems, wallpapers, outdoor coverings and sun protection are being integrated. Formats like the Green Collection, the Tiles Plaza and the expanded Retailers’ Park are designed to bring together retail and the skilled trades more closely. The fair will also open its doors from Monday to Thursday for the first time.
