DOMOTEX, the flooring trade show that has been running annually in Hannover since 1989, has been cancelled for next year. The 2025 edition was set to be a carpet and flooring specific show, but the organisers have now announced that this has been postponed until 2026, when it will start taking place biannually and on a larger scale.
From 2026, DOMOTEX will expand its product range to include paints, wallpapers, acoustic elements, tiles, outdoor floor coverings as well as privacy shields and shading elements, making it an international trade fair for interior finishing. Carpets and floor coverings will therefore be presented together with interior finishing products. Under the motto ‘Creating Rooms – Transforming Spaces’, visitors will be able to discover unique product solutions for floors, walls and ceilings at the expanded show.
Sonia Wedell-Castellano, Global Director of DOMOTEX elaborates: ‘following intensive discussions with the exhibiting companies, we have decided to integrate the presentation of ‘Carpets & Rugs’ into the biennial rhythm of DOMOTEX and to present it in a joint setting with the floor coverings and interior finishing sectors. From 2026 onwards, the show will take place every two years. Find out more on the DOMOTEX website.
