Happy Up Your Home: DecoTeam Sets New Impulses for the Interior Design Trade

Heimtextil 2025

Every January, Heimtextil transforms Frankfurt into the beating heart of the global interior design world. But in 2026, one space in particular will shine brighter than ever: DecoTeam in Hall 3.0, where leading names in the industry come together under the uplifting motto “Happy up your Home.” Here, the focus is on holistic interior concepts, textile innovation, and the seamless interplay between creativity, craftsmanship, and technology.

The DecoTeam has long been a hub of inspiration for interior professionals, and next year’s edition promises to be no exception. Renowned suppliers such as Alfred Apelt, Erfal, Höpke Möbelstoffe, Infloor-Girloon, Karl F. Buchheister, MHZ Hachtel, and Paulig Teppichweberei will showcase perfectly coordinated design solutions that bring emotion and functionality into balance.

A Day Devoted to Design Professionals

On Wednesday, 14 January 2026, the spotlight turns squarely on the interior design trade. DecoTeam invites visitors to immerse themselves in a dynamic programme packed with trend insights, design inspiration, and hands-on learning. The day begins with the keynote “Design to be Happy – International Interior Trends” by Corinna Kretschmar-Joehnk, setting the tone with a thoughtful exploration of how design influences wellbeing.

Adding a forward-looking twist, Axel Ligowski follows with a compact AI workshop, revealing how digital tools can empower interior designers to translate creative visions into practical realities. This fusion of design intuition and technological innovation encapsulates the spirit of DecoTeam: vibrant, modern, and deeply connected to the evolving needs of the trade.

The Design Lounge: Inspiration in Every Corner

Adjoining the DecoTeam hub, the Design Lounge powered by DecoTeam offers a curated glimpse into the latest textile artistry. Visitors will find the refined elegance of Brink & Campmann’s portfolio—featuring Harlequin, Morris & Co., Ted Baker, and Wedgwood Home—alongside Designers Guild’s exclusive collaborations with Christian Lacroix and Ralph Lauren.

The Lounge’s eclectic mix extends further with brands like Haro Carpets, Kadeco Sun Protection Systems, Kobe Fabrics, Otto Golze, Somfy, and Stoeckel & Grimmler, representing JOOP! Living, Schöner Wohnen, and Esprit home. Wallpaper specialists Hembus, textile icons Theo Keller / Theko with Sansibar Sylt, Tom Tailor, and Natur Pur, plus Tisca and Unland with Pierre Cardin, complete the impressive lineup.

“Interior designers need quick orientation rather than time-consuming research,” notes Bettina Bär, Director Heimtextil. “With so many premium exhibitors and brands gathered in one place, DecoTeam and the Design Lounge provide precisely that—efficient access to inspiration, materials, and partners. This blend of creativity and expertise is unique, and no Heimtextil visit is complete without a stop here.”

A World of Textiles Beyond Imagination

Beyond Hall 3.0, Halls 3.1 and 4.1 continue the story of textile excellence. Here, the world’s leading weaving mills and manufacturers unveil the broadest selection of furniture, decorative, and upholstery fabrics—from genuine to imitation leather—embodying quality at every thread.

International exhibitors such as Dickson Constant with Sunbrella (France), Edmund Bell (UK), Manuel Revert and Nova Tapiceria (Spain), Vanelli Tekstil (Turkey), and Vescom Velvets (Netherlands) bring a global palette of craftsmanship to Frankfurt. Meanwhile, the Fibres & Yarns section weaves together the entire textile value chain, featuring innovation leaders like Angles Textil (Spain), Filtrading (Italy), Hoftex Färberei (Germany), Ilcat (Italy), Indorama Ventures Fibers (Germany), Korteks Mensucat (Turkey), Tintoria Sala, and Torcitura Lei Tsu (Italy).

Setting the Tone for the Year Ahead

DecoTeam’s 2026 showcase at Heimtextil is not merely a trade event—it’s an experience, an encounter between tradition and technology, beauty and purpose. It reflects a shared vision: that interior design can uplift lives, foster wellbeing, and spark joy.

For anyone seeking the pulse of contemporary design, Hall 3.0’s DecoTeam is where inspiration begins—and happiness, quite literally, finds its home.
