With Well-Being 4.0 the focus of the trend park, Protect is a key concept that explores the search for physical as well as emotional R&R within the home. The importance is on switching off and focusing on one's self, supported by cosy and enveloping, comforting furnishings yet with a clean and minimalist, understated design. The palette is also a visualisation of this, featuring soft pastels and barely tinted neutrals paired with matte darks.

Metallics are very important, with bronze, brass and gold used to create accent embellishments in polished or oxidised finishes.

Pastels begin to lose their sugary quality and evolve into more whitewashed tones. Exhibitors at Heimtextil embrace this direction with a delicate, diluted palette. Colours and patterns look smudged and watered, or instead seem to get lost in a large field of neutral grey or off-white. Whether printed or woven, these diffused, dainty designs add softness and light to interiors in the form of wallpapers, curtains and upholstery.

I​n line with the growing focus on sustainability, eco materials and natural tactility continue to feature strongly. Cork returns as an interesting wall and upholstery alternative, while many manufacturers favour the imperfect tactility of coarse threads, grass cloth and paper, or imitate it with vinyl.

The weathered and worn look remains strongly present across the show, yet it evolves towards calmer surfaces where the eroded effect is centred on the weave or print, and the relief is kept to a minimum. Large-scale stripes appear scratched and erased, and traditional damask and geo motifs feature distressed edges, as if ruined or defective. D.C.M. Tekstil brings it a step further, using the corroded look to blend two motifs with an intricate jacquard.
