At DOMOTEX 2026, the world’s leading trade fair for flooring and interior finishing, Kronospan made a bold international statement. As global flooring professionals gathered to explore emerging trends, materials, and design solutions, we introduced our newest flooring collection, garnering significant attention from architects and industry buyers alike.

The Hanover fair highlighted trends such as holistic conceptual integration, sustainable materials, acoustic innovation, and responsible material choices shaping the built environment. It reflects how floors function as part of a larger design ecosystem, connecting flooring with walls, acoustics, and overall interior experience.

After a decade of cooler gray and uniform finishes, designers and homeowners are returning to warmer, natural wood aesthetics that feel inviting and close to nature. Oak and walnut wood looks dominate flooring preferences, and textured, matte, and sensory surfaces are preferred over high-gloss or flat prints.

Kronospan’s new Rocko vinyl collection features SENSOTOUCH embossed-in-register surfaces that represent the tactile feel of real wood grain, responding to the demand for authenticity and homey materials. Pairing this with Perfect Pad IXPE underlayment also addresses practical criteria for quieter, more comfortable indoor environments.

2026 sees a return of distinctive layouts and pattern play, like herringbone and geometric parquet-inspired designs, which add interest and character to interiors. Larger plank formats with varied prints also reduce visual repetition.

KronoOriginal Herringbone collection meets this key expectation of the recent trend for floors that feel handcrafted and exclusive by offering 120 unique designs in Perfect Plank technology, which eliminates repeativeness.

Another intriguing and appealing narrative across entire homes is the Multi Room concept. These are cohesive decors in three flooring formats that create interest and, at the same time, a seamless design continuity across rooms while adapting to different layouts and architectural contexts.

When it comes to coordinated solutions, our walls and floors have always been part of unifying aesthetic themes. The KronoOriginal Acoustic Wall Panels add both functional sound control and interior styling value. Soundproofing quality has emerged as a major design consideration for residential and commercial spaces alike.

Responding to the interior design’s move toward textural statement elements, Kronowall 3D panels add volume to walls with their elegant, attractive 3D effect.

Rocko Tiles reinterpret this with the new SENSOTOUCH synchronized surface, enhancing accent walls with visual depth and tactile detail. A revolutionary alternative to ceramic tiling, these SPC wall panels are waterproof, lightweight, and ideal for both wet and dry areas.

Kronospan’s presentation at DOMOTEX 2026 demonstrated how the company is reacting to the latest flooring and interior design trends with a perfect balance of innovation, functionality, and aesthetic appeal. From warm, natural wood looks and pattern-rich floor decors to integrated wall solutions and acoustic performance, our new KronoOriginal collection addresses the evolving needs of modern living spaces.
