Trends and Market Development of Interior Materials Discussed in Krasnoyarsk

According to the publication "Rambler / Home and Comfort" the Siberian region is witnessing a growing trend in 2025–2026 that combines eco-minimalism with ethnic motifs. Flooring with pronounced wood textures, warm natural tones, and tactile surfaces that evoke a connection to the harsh yet generous nature of the region is particularly in demand. Against the backdrop of growing interest in authentic aesthetics and modern interior solutions, Kastamonu hosted its traditional event for distributors, retailers, designers, and partners — Kastamonu Sweet Day — in Krasnoyarsk.

On June 24 and 25, 2026, the Kastamonu Sweet Day event in Krasnoyarsk brought together experts and partners to discuss key market trends, new products, and the further development of the flooring and decorative panels segments. Krasnoyarsk was the second city in the 2026 marathon of the company’s traditional partner events, following Pyatigorsk. Next, Kastamonu will visit Barnaul, Vladivostok, Samara, and Tyumen.

The event’s program was structured over two thematic days. On June 24, the focus was on Kastamonu’s decorative panels, with presentations of the latest products from the Evogloss and Evosoft brands, known for their exceptional qualities: resistance to scratches, fading, and stains. These materials offer vast opportunities for creating durable and aesthetic interiors that maintain their impeccable appearance even under intense use. Personalization is one of today’s primary trends, and the wide color palette of these panels enables the realization of any design idea — from calm and understated to bold and daring — creating interiors that fully reflect the character of their owners. Additionally, the day featured a presentation by partners from Impress, providing an overview of this year’s interior design trends, as well as insights from AMDPR experts, who shared their professional perspective on the development of the interior design market. A highlight of the day was the crash test of TOP FASAD systems, showcasing the durability of façade systems against everyday damage.

The second day, June 25, was dedicated to flooring. Participants were introduced to the innovative Craft Core stone-polymer composite, which combines reliability, practicality, and aesthetics. The material is water-resistant, scratch-resistant, and resistant to dirt and stains, making it an ideal choice for contemporary interiors. Special attention was given to the "herringbone" installation technology, which enhances the refined and elegant appearance of flooring. Additionally, attendees explored key collections of laminated flooring — the Floorpan range and the premium La Moena series, distinguished by their premium quality, 24-hour water resistance, and precise wood texture replication.

In addition to the business program, informal interaction was emphasized. Guests actively participated in discussions, shared case studies, and found common interests in a relaxed atmosphere. Musical segments and dance breaks added a lively and emotional touch to the gathering.

"Krasnoyarsk became the second city in the Kastamonu Sweet Day marathon, and we are delighted to see the high level of interest here in modern interior solutions. The Siberian market has always been characterized by a strong professional community and high standards for quality and design. Following our slogan, 'Color. Energy. Toward the Dream,' we continue an open dialogue with partners to create products that meet current market demands. Ahead lie new cities, new meetings, and new ideas that will inspire the industry," shared Olga Klyueva, Head of Marketing at Kastamonu Russia.
