HGH India Launches 2025–26 Trend Report: Emotion in Motion

HGH India, the country’s leading trade show for home textiles, home décor, home furniture, houseware, and gifts, has announced the launch of its much-anticipated Trend Report for 2025–26, themed ‘Emotion in Motion’. The report is a flagship initiative of HGH India, a recognised authority in trend forecasting and design research, for the Indian home industry.

Compiled through extensive research and cultural decoding, the Trend Report offers a lens into evolving consumer sensibilities across India’s home and lifestyle landscape. From millennial and Gen Z preferences to technological integration and sustainability imperatives, the report captures how Indian consumers are reshaping the narrative around space, identity, and style. Home Fashion Trend Forecast for 2025–26 is segmented into four distinctive themes—Future Fizz, Majestic Lagoon, Burgundy Bloom, and Chai & Biscuits—each articulating a unique intersection of colour, material, styles, and emotions drawn from Indian traditions, global influence, and contemporary values.

“At HGH India, we see trend forecasting not just as aesthetic storytelling, but as strategic direction. Our Trend Report is designed to empower brands, designers, retailers, and professionals across the home ecosystem to create offerings that are timely, relevant, and reflective of how India lives today and where it’s headed next,” said Rajiv Merchant, Chief Executive Officer, Texzone Information Services Pvt. Ltd., the organiser of HGH India.

In a landscape where retail cycles are tightening and design expectations are rising, the Trend Report serves as a vital tool for:

Manufacturers and brands need to align product development with emerging lifestyle and visual cues.
Retailers to optimise stock planning and curate collections that speak directly to market moods.
Interior designers and architects to reference dynamic concepts for spatial storytelling.
End consumers, increasingly aware and aspirational, seek reflection and inspiration in their surroundings.

The Trends Pavilion at HGH India 2025 will bring these directions to life through carefully selected products, visual merchandising references, and experiential zones that translate trend intelligence into actionable display and design language. It will also offer visitors a tangible, immersive understanding of materials and colours projected to dominate the Indian home landscape in the coming year.

By offering a unified vision that is informed, accessible, and industry-specific, HGH India continues to strengthen its position as the go-to platform for home fashion intelligence. The Trend Forecast for 2025–26 is a strategic blueprint that connects the present needs of the home industry to the shifting aspirations of Indian consumers.
