Trend Report 2028+ | Felix Schoeller

The Trend Report 2028+ by Felix Schoeller Decor links social developments with trends in architecture, design, color and materials. It highlights what is changing, what is becoming relevant, and which colours, finishes and textures this gives rise to for sustainable surfaces.

Each trend story tells a tale: of the social developments from which it emerges, the spaces it shapes, and the surfaces that bring it to life. Stories that inspire and can be passed on.

Trend Talk

Let’s talk about what’s changing – and what’s staying the same.
In our personalised Trend Talk, we’ll analyse the trend stories together: which colors, patterns and textures are gaining prominence, and which are here to stay? And what does this mean for your collection? We’ll bring along fabric samples so you can experience the textures for yourself.

Newness, yes, but with a purpose. COLORS THAT STAY combines bestsellers, new on-trend colors with the makings of a classic, and colors from the COLORNETWORK®. For palettes that stand the test of time.

Timeliness
Market success
Risk reduction

How can existing stock be transformed into new collections that feel contemporary and remain relevant for years to come? It was this question that led us to develop COLORS THAT STAY. Our method combines tried-and-tested best-selling colors with carefully selected trend colors, which we identify based on market data, trend scores and the experience gained from years of analysis.

THE RESULT: Fresh, versatile color palettes with a distinctive narrative and clear recommendations for use. For successful collections and the responsible use of resources.

Sustainability as an opportunity for innovation

Sustainable decor papers such as TECHNOCELL® Sylphia and TECHNOCELL® Recycle form part of the Trend Stories. They define the color, texture and character of a surface.

Colour, texture and design

A trend concept only becomes a surface when the paper, texture and décor all come together. That is why we develop our trend stories in collaboration with partners specialising in printing and sheet metal technology.

Future Surfaces entdecken

Earth, Human, Interaction: We don’t just ask which trends are emerging, but what they mean for people, spaces and surfaces. This has given rise to six Trend Stories offering specific ideas for colors, materials and textures.
