Global wood-based panels producer Egger has unveiled its Decorative Collection 26+, offering new colours, styles and textures to entice interior designers and consumers.
The launch in February adds innovative additions, building on the foundation of the Decorative Collection 24+.
For the first time, Egger is working with a two-year rolling collection concept to give the opportunity to respond quickly and flexibly to trend developments and changing market requirements.
New uni colours, linear Italian-style woods, additions to the colour range of PerfectSense Matt surfaces, the new repeatless decor H1316 ST17 Bookmatch Oak for authentic wood reproductions, and a new matt all-over wood texture are just some of the new introductions.
The Decorative Collection 26+ is being marketed under the motto “Space for solutions”, with all new introductions remaining in the product range for at least four years to create planning security.
Egger says this allows its partners, as well as architects and fabricators, to receive a globally standardised decor and product portfolio that is always up to date.
In all there are more than 230 decor combinations, with 201 Eurodekor decors in matching materials, 82 new Eurodekor decor combinations, 7 new textures, and 39 worktop decor combinations.
In addition, there are more than 95 decor/texture combinations, 87 decors for Decorative Boards with matching laminates and edge banding, 12 new introductions, 9 PerfectSense decor-texture combinations, now all available on a particleboard core, and four new introductions.
VISUAL HARMONY
Highlights of the updated collection are decor innovations in the trend beige colour range, and wood reproductions in linear Italian design. The long-lasting white trend was followed by black, and now by beige, a light colour that meets the need for warmth and visual harmony.
“Warm beige can tie in many materials,” Egger says. “In light colour gradations, this trend colour creates harmonious contrasts that contribute to the feel-good character of a space. Unlike white, beige goes well with almost any other colour, thanks to its balanced neutrality.”
When beige replaces bright white, it is contrasted by warm brown tones. However, these are not one-tone, as in fashion, but appear as elegant and calm woodgrains in the Italian style, adding a natural accent to interior designs. After a period of more rustic woods, Egger is presenting a balanced mix of natural, elegant and simple designs in the Decorative Collection 26+.
Egger says beige tones are the perfect choice to create welcoming interiors with an atmosphere of warmth and softness, combining effortlessly with many materials. In living spaces for example, its softness is commonly reflected in fabrics, woods, stones and wall colours. The trend has its roots in textiles and paper, where unbleached variants are increasingly being used.
Thanks to its balanced neutrality in the warmer colour range, beige complements almost any other colour and can be combined in multiple ways. As a solid colour or stone reproduction, beige tones provide visually harmonious softness. Linear Italian-style woods are an elegant combination choice, ensuring a high-quality look.
The softness of beige also means tone-on-tone combination are simply achieved. Egger highlights that warm metallic decor F579 ST20 Champagne Crossed Metal, new for the Decorative Collection 26+, fits into this colour scheme for optimum pairing with beige.
Because all of Egger’s products are manufactured in-house, its Decor Match System allows it to offer Thermally Fused Laminate (TFL), laminates and edge banding in a variety of colours, patterns and textures, all with a colour match.
“Wood reproductions are reserved and versatile, stone replicas display more authenticity, metallic and textile decors generate accented highlights and solid colours become gentle collaborators that differentiate your design,” Egger added.
MATT AESTHETICS
Matt surfaces are an integral part of modern interior design. Egger has expanded its range of PerfectSense lacquered products to include decors and optimised innovative product solutions for the straightforward design and realisation of matt and highquality room concepts.
The Decorative Collection 26+ offers new shades for matt design concepts that are designed to be both aesthetic and functional – from rich berry tones to bold blues and sophisticated caramels, basically a matt look is available for any design scheme.
The colours are offered across the whole PerfectSense portfolio of matt solutions, with the improved TM surface designed for colour consistency with PM PerfectSense Premium Matt, available in a versatile suite of materials suitable for high-wear commercial interiors.
This means a consistent look and feel can be achieved across all interior furniture surfaces, optimising the opportunities to control budgets on projects.
In the Decorative Collection 26+, Egger is improving the surface quality of its matt lacquered uni colours on a chipboard core. The previous TM9 PerfectSense Smoothtouch Matt is now TM PerfectSense Matt. Egger is also offering a decor and material combination between the PerfectSense Matt on MDF core board, chipboard core, and laminate.
PerfectSense Ambiance is the latest Egger innovation in the PerfectSense product range. The matt-gloss effect is designed to make it special, emphasised via synchronised texture depths. An extremely high degree of authenticity of the material reproduction is achieved by matching it to the respective decor.
The F199 Black Ambiance Marble version has a super-matt surface that is enhanced by sophisticated gold vein inclusions. In the decors F128 Black Ambiance Granite and F129 Beige Ambiance Granite, glossy areas are combined with a velvety matt surface. The co-ordination of the partial gloss effects with the decor image of the stone reproductions creates a synchronised look, as well as an individual experience through look and feel.
All matt and matt-textured PerfectSense surfaces have an anti-fingerprint property. This makes the matt trend not only visually appealing, but also functional in use, as the cleaning effort is reduced.
REPEATLESS DECOR
With the new repeatless decor, Egger is wanting to set new standards in the reproduction of natural wood effects for large-area applications. The new H1316 ST17 Bookmatch Oak shows character without repetition over the entire length of 2,800mm and width of 2,070mm, something that could previously only be achieved with veneer.
This means repetition of the visual design only occurs at approximately every 17th panel, heightening visual realism. This makes large surface areas of authentic looking, repeatless woodgrain aesthetic possible, for unrivalled design freedom.
Traditionally, wood is split into thin layers to achieve this pattern. Veneers are joined together, butt to butt, by hand. This creates the so-called bookmatch effect.
The repeatless decor was honoured with the Red Dot Award 2025 for “High Design Quality” and with the Interzum Award 2025 for “High Product Quality”.
OVERVIEW OF TEXTURES
In terms of textures, a very important feature of surfaces today, the new collection features a new texture ST17, as well as a Feelwood synchronized pore surface, textures for material and metal decors and matte and high-gloss surfaces.
Wood Textures:
- ST10 Deepskin Rough
- ST12 Omnipore Matt
- ST19 Deepskin Excellent
- ST22 Deepskin Linear
- ST17 Omnipore Oiled
Lacquered wood pore with anti-fingerprint properties:
- TM12 PerfectSense Omnipore Matt
- TM22 PerfectSense Deepskin Linear Matt
The new, matt surface ST17 Omnipore Oiled provides an authentic look that is close to the appearance of oiled real wood. It is the latest generation of an irregular all-over wood pore.
Its special feature is that it has a very low gloss level, whereby the pore also appears matt, which has a low degree of gloss and a slight microtexture in the surfaces, giving it the appearance of an oiled wood surface. An additional special feature of this decor is the repeat-free pattern, which makes it even more authentic when used on larger surfaces.
ST10 Deepskin Rough gives mainly natural and original woodgrain decors an authentically rough feel, which is rather reserved though thanks to its continuous matt look. It also give textile decors an authentically rough surface.
ST12 Omnipore Matt is an all-over texture with irregular distribution and pores of varying depths, which give the surface an elegant, natural look. A light sub-texture provides a velvet touch.
ST19 Deepskin Excellent combines cut floret sections with linear areas. Thanks to the matt and glossy woodgrain, the texture gives the respective decor a lively, natural overall impression that remains visible even on light woodgrain decors.
The haptic and matt-gloss effect of ST22 Deepskin Linear give rather linear woodgrain decors a noticeably deep character and a natural, brushed look, as is often seen in conifers.
In terms of lacquered wood pore with anti-fingerprint properties, there are two new additions. Anti-fingerprint properties improve usage, especially with dark woodgrain decors, and enable applications in public interior design.
First is TM12 PerfectSense Omnipore Matt – a lacquered surface gives selected wood reproductions a natural, matt wood pore look with a pleasant velvety-matt feel. Second is The TM22 PerfectSense Deepskin Linear Matt lacquer surface to enhance the natural character of woodgrain decors by combining a deeply brushed feel with a soft and matt look. This surface also gives selected decors their anti-fingerprint property.
