HOMETEX 2027 extends to five days: 25–29 May at Istanbul Expo Center

The HOMETEX Home Textiles Exhibition will hold its 2027 edition from 25 to 29 May 2027 at Istanbul Expo Center (Yeşilköy). On 27 October 2026 the fair published its new campaign visual and the slogan “NOBILITY | ELEGANCE | SPLENDOR” on its official Instagram account. The post presents a fair where exquisite fabrics and original design meet, opening with the line “Every thread tells a story”.

From four days to five

The 2025 fair ran from 20 to 23 May and the 2026 fair from 19 to 22 May, four days each. The 2027 calendar covers five days, opening on Tuesday 25 May and closing on Saturday 29 May. The dates were first announced on 8 October 2026 with the call “Let's meet in Istanbul”. The extra day gives international buying delegations, distributors and interior designers a wider window to plan their visits.

Campaign visual: an “H” wrapped in fabric

The main visual of the 2027 campaign shows a large letter “H” on an orange-brown background, wrapped in a silky orange fabric and covered with embossed, patterned textures. The three-word slogan and the fair logo sit below. An identity built around fabric drape also reflects the weight of curtain and upholstery fabrics at the fair.

HOMETEX in figures

According to the fair's 2025 post-show report, HOMETEX was held from 20 to 23 May 2025 in 11 halls covering 200,000 square metres; the report lists more than 700 local and foreign exhibitors, 135 countries and over 175,000 visits. It states that purchasing delegations brought buyers from many countries, particularly Italy, Spain, Azerbaijan, Jordan, Russia and Estonia, to the negotiating table with local companies, and that business meetings were held with buyers and professional visitors from more than 80 countries. The fair's official website gives the same figures for the 2026 edition: 11 halls, 200,000 square metres and over 175,000 visits.

Who exhibits, who visits

The exhibitor profile covers curtains and curtain accessories (voile, embroidery, guipure, mechanised curtain systems), upholstery and decorative fabrics, bedroom textiles, towels and bath products, wallpaper and wall coverings, kitchen and dining textiles, carpets and floor coverings, as well as raw materials such as yarn, fibre, chemicals and dyes. Visitors range from importers, exporters, manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers and chain stores to interior architects and decorators, hotels, hospitals and public buyers. The fair's website describes HOMETEX as the most convenient meeting point for Europe, the Gulf countries, Russia, the CIS, the Middle East and Africa.

Organiser and supervision

HOMETEX is organised by KFA Fuarcılık under the leadership of TETSİAD, the Turkish Home Textile Industrialists' and Businessmen's Association, and is held under the supervision of TOBB in accordance with Turkish Law No. 5174. The 2025 report notes that the fair, which began years ago in a small hotel hall, has become a global trade platform where trends are defined. The HOMETEX 26/27 Trend Area, presented in 2025 under the main theme “Beyond Boundaries”, explored three sub-themes ranging from nature-compatible design to smart textile solutions.
