Last May, SKETCHURE had the incredible opportunity to attend the Oman Design & Build Week 2025 at the Oman Convention & Exhibition Centre in Muscat, a playground for designers, architects, and innovators. This wasn’t just another event; it was a space where ideas sparked, trends emerged, and collaborations began.
Diving into Design
From the moment we stepped into the exhibition, we were diving into a world of creativity. Booths filled with cutting-edge materials, smart building technologies, and innovative interior solutions surrounded us, each telling its own story. We explored every corner, discovering design inspirations that could transform future projects and push the boundaries of what commercial spaces can be.
Oman Design & Build Week 2025 – Trends That Caught Our Eye
The event was a live showcase of where design is heading:
- Sustainable and smart solutions: Energy-efficient systems, smart lighting, and digital integration were everywhere.
- Material exploration: From luxurious local finishes to advanced global materials, every booth offered inspiration for textures, colors, and functionality.
- Experiential spaces: Design is no longer just about beauty, it’s about creating an experience, guiding users through spaces that feel intuitive and purposeful.

Meeting the Leaders & Makers
One of the most rewarding parts of ODBW 2025 was the people. We met suppliers, designers, and industry leaders, forging meaningful connections that could turn into future collaborations. From conversations with material innovators to insights from real estate developers and construction experts, every interaction gave us a deeper understanding of the regional market.
Why This Matters for SKETCHURE
ODBW 2025 reaffirmed our vision: design is about connection, context, and creativity. The trends we spotted, the materials we explored, and the conversations we had with industry leaders will directly influence our upcoming projects. More than that, these connections open doors to collaborations in Oman and across the Gulf region, allowing us to bring SKETCHURE’s signature style to new audiences.
