Top Trends and Favorites from Heimtextil 2015

I headed to Frankfurt, Germany to check out Heimtextil 2015, the leading international home and contract textiles fair that showcased 2,759 exhibitors from 68 countries. Covering everything from wallpaper, towels, bedding, fabric, to surface designs, the fair had it all when it came to colors, patterns, textures, and trends – so much so that it could leave your mind spinning. Take a look at some of our favorites from the show.

Heimtextil-2015-Eijffinger-wallpaper

Fell hard for the graphic, tribal-inspired wallpaper from Netherlands-based brand, Eijffinger.

Heimtextil-2015-New-Walls-3D

This wallpaper with a three-dimensional pattern was designed by Lars Contzen for A.S. Création was pretty trippy.

Heimtextil-2015-Graham-Brown-wood

Graham & Brown launched a host of new wallpapers, many of which are super easy to hang and remove later if needed. Loved the wood grain pattern of their Driftwood Brown print, which is part of their Superfresco Easy wallpaper where you paint the paste on the wall and not the wallpaper – meaning no soaking. It peels off easily with no scrapers or steamers needed!
