Brands that trust us as their stand builder
What your Heimtextil stand needs depending on fabric, bedding, rugs or contract textiles
Heimtextil 2026 gathered 48,000 visitors from 133 countries. Buyers touch the fabric and watch the drape under the light, so the stand is a sample display to walk through.
Fabrics and upholstery
Rolls and samples hung with real drape, with light that respects colour and room to touch them.
Bedding and bath
Beds and bathrooms built as a real room, to see the whole and not just the piece.
Rugs and floors
Rugs laid and hung in view, with raking light to show texture and design.
Contract and hospitality
Meeting rooms with samples on the table, for architects and specifiers.
Messe Frankfurt construction heights for a textile stand at Heimtextil
The Heimtextil 2027 exhibitor manual is not public yet. This is the Messe Frankfurt heights factsheet, which governs its own shows, and will be confirmed with the manual.
See all 4 rules, with their source
| Basic height | The basic height is 2.50 m. Above it, the back of walls facing a neighbouring stand is smooth and in a neutral colour, such as white or light grey. source |
|---|---|
| Maximum height per hall | Up to 30 m², the maximum is 4 m. For stands over 31 m² it depends on the hall: from 4 m in 1.1, 4.1 and 4.2 to 8 m in 2.0, 3.0, 3.1 and 5.1. Halls 6.1 and 6.2 allow 3.70 m. source |
| Hung elements | In halls with a 5 m limit for hung items, rigging, lighting and advertising are set back at least 1 m from neighbouring stands. source |
| Two storeys | They need plan approval. In Hall 5.0 two storeys cannot be built. source |

Designing a Heimtextil stand with draping fabrics, sample-book light and an order table
In textiles you buy with the hand and the eye. So we design the stand as a sample display to walk through: fabrics at eye level, light that respects colour and a table to talk collections.
Fabric with real drape
Rolls and samples hung where they fall and move, so the buyer judges the weave.
Light that respects colour
Neutral, dimmable lighting without glare, to see each collection's real shade.
Collections table
A seated corner, with open sample books, to talk collections, timing and minimums.
Clean back wall
The wall to the neighbour is smooth and neutral above 2.50 m, so your fabric does not compete with the neighbour's.

What pushes up the budget of a Heimtextil stand with hung fabrics and sample books
We do not give figures without seeing your plot: the cost of a Heimtextil stand depends on the metres, the hung fabrics and the sample books. These are the six factors.
Hung fabrics
Hanging fabric needs structure, supports and a height that respects the hall's limit.
Dimmable neutral light
Careful lighting for colour adds installation and control throughout the show.
Sample books
Made-to-measure sample books add joinery and finishes that must not compete with the fabric.
Collections tables
Every table or room adds furniture and reduces the open surface of the stand.
Transport and build-up
Producing in Barcelona means planning transport to Frankfurt and a short build-up window.
Height by hall
Going above the basic height needs a large stand and respecting the hall's limit.
