HGH India 2026 has unveiled PreSense, its Home Fashion Trends Forecast for 2026-27, highlighting emerging consumer preferences and design directions shaping the future of Indian homes.
As Indian homes increasingly evolve into spaces reflecting personal identity, lifestyle, values, and design sensibilities, consumers today are becoming as fashion-conscious about their interiors as they are about apparel and personal style. Responding to this shift, HGH India’s latest forecast provides strategic direction for designers, brands, manufacturers, and retailers across the home and lifestyle ecosystem.
The forecast serves as a guide for product development, merchandising, retail strategies, and interior design planning, helping businesses align upcoming collections with anticipated consumer demand and evolving market trends.
PreSense 2026-27 is built around the idea that as the world becomes more digital and virtual, the human desire for tactile experiences and sensory engagement continues to grow stronger. The forecast explores how Indian consumers are redefining homes through four key themes:
- Manchala Mind
- SunWoven
- Kala Sangam
- Colour Wave
Each theme reflects a distinct intersection of colour, materiality, patterns, emotions, cultural influences, and contemporary lifestyles, combining Indian heritage with global inspirations and modern design values.
The trend forecast has been developed by Texzone Information Services Pvt. Ltd., organisers of HGH India, drawing on expertise in global and Indian markets, consumer behaviour, trend forecasting, design research, merchandising strategy, and trade practices across the textile, home, fashion, and lifestyle industries.
Commenting on the launch, Arun Roongta said:
“Trend forecasting, for us, is providing a strategic direction to the industry and trade focussed on home and lifestyle segments. PreSense is designed to give clarity to brands, designers, and retailers across the home ecosystem to create offerings that are in-time, relevant, and apt for the Indian market,”
The Trends Pavilion at HGH India 2026 will showcase the PreSense forecast through curated products, experiential zones, and visual merchandising concepts designed to translate the trend themes into tangible retail and design experiences. Visitors will be able to engage directly with the materials, colours, textures, and moods expected to shape Indian homes over the coming year.
