The Brit List Awards 2026: Meet the Sponsors
Celebrating the tenth instalment of The Brit List Awards, this year’s ceremony is set to blow the socks off past events with some big surprises planned, and a masquerade like you’ve never seen before. But none of this would be possible without the support and creativity of our fantastic sponsors, so let’s get to know the brands backing your favourite design awards…
The 2026 edition of The Brit List Awards is set to be the biggest and boldest celebration of the design and hospitality industry’s movers and shakers yet – and we just can’t wait to see all of you there in all your masquerade splendour.
With 15 unique awards to be handed out, this year’s ceremony will truly be one to remember, but it is only possible with the ongoing support of our superb sponsors, so let’s find out more about this year’s cheerleaders…
Meet our 2026 sponsors:
Rocking their debut sponsorship at The Brit List Awards last year, ADA Cosmetics are back for a second time at this year’s ceremony – and we can’t wait to see how they interpret this year’s theme after such an exotic take on last year’s ‘Take a Walk on the Wild Side’ theme.
ADA Cosmetics is a company that’s built its name on turning everyday toiletries into something guests actually remember – bespoke bottle design, light and fragrant luxury scents that hint at spa-grade indulgence, all without losing sight of the planet.
That eco-credibility isn’t just a marketing line, either. ADA Cosmetics holds Cradle to Cradle® Silver certification across its entire portfolio of house brands, and its formulas steer well clear of parabens, microplastics, silicones and mineral oils. Its clever Refillution system takes things further still: one 10-litre container can top up 34 dispensers, slashing plastic waste by up to 95% – proof that doing right by the environment doesn’t mean compromising on guest experience.
The brand roster reads like a well-edited black book, too, spanning collaborations with the likes of ELEMIS, Penhaligon’s and ARgENTUM, plus a stable of in-house lines that can be tailored down to the fragrance, bottle shape and label. Whether it’s a boutique bolthole or a sprawling five-star resort, the aim is the same: amenities that feel like a natural extension of the property itself, distributed to hotels in more than 50 countries worldwide.
Keep an eye out for the ADA Cosmetics team at this year’s Brit List Awards and be sure to nab one of their goody bags on the night.
Welcoming back our expert LVT pals, who literally had us walking the walk last year with their stage installation flooring, we’re very happy to be collaborating again with Amtico.
Amtico has spent the best part of six decades perfecting the art of luxury vinyl tile, quietly becoming the name to know in beautifully realistic flooring. It all started in a Coventry factory back in the early 1960s, and that British manufacturing heart still beats at the centre of everything the brand makes today.
Amtico’s wood and stone designs are so convincingly textured, right down to the bevelled edges, that they’re often mistaken for the real thing. Across its core collections, Amtico floors bring together warmth underfoot, genuine durability, and a design vocabulary broad enough to suit anything from a classic family kitchen to a bold, pattern-led statement space. They’re quiet, comfortable, easy to keep clean, and even hold antimicrobial properties, cutting bacteria by over 99.9%. It all adds up to flooring that doesn’t ask you to choose between practicality and good looks – the two simply come as standard.
Joining the crew for the first time as sponsors at The Brit List Awards (although certainly not their first rodeo as regular party-goers!), we’re delighted to have GROHE on board for our 2026 Awards – and we know these guys will be with us as the last ones standing on the night!
GROHE has built a reputation on marrying serious technical know-how with genuinely covetable design, offering architects and specifiers a portfolio that stretches from sculptural faucets to full shower systems, all engineered to perform as beautifully as they look. There’s even scope to go bespoke, with customisation options including 3D metal-printed taps for projects that call for something truly one-off.
Then there’s GROHE SPA, the brand’s most indulgent chapter. Taking its name from the Latin ‘Salus Per Aquam’ – wellbeing through water – it’s a premium sub-brand built entirely around water’s ability to soothe, restore and quietly work wonders on body and mind, making it a natural fit for hospitality spaces chasing that multi-sensory, spa-like feel.
You can expect to see the team firmly planted on the dancefloor at this year’s Brit List Awards, but check out some fun activations from the brand throughout the venue, too.
Our good pals at Hypnos are returning to the biggest party in the industry this year, but what fun and frolics will they bring with them? For the last couple of years the brand has dominated our main bar area with their super king sized bed installation, that has also doubled as a photo booth, a relaxation area, and a pillow-fight space! Last year’s Emma Shipley designed bed and headboard was a real standout, but we’ve heard rumours of something a bit different for 2026…
Hypnos has spent over 120 years perfecting the craft of a genuinely good night’s rest. Every mattress is handcrafted at the brand’s Buckinghamshire factory, put through rigorous fire, hygiene and durability testing, and backed by a five-year guarantee – the kind of quiet reassurance that comes from over a century of getting it right.
For hoteliers, the appeal goes well beyond comfort. Hypnos frames sleep as serious business, offering versatile bed solutions designed to maximise occupancy, boost revenue and even trim housekeeping costs, all wrapped up in a seamless service that covers in-room installation and old bed disposal. It’s a proposition trusted by some serious names too, with beds found in properties from Hilton and Marriott to Atlantis The Royal Dubai and The Lanesborough.
Sustainability runs just as deep as the comfort factor. Hypnos’ mattresses are foam-free, 100% recyclable and made with sustainable materials, reflecting the brand’s global leadership on ethical bed-making. With an extensive international supply network behind it, Hypnos is able to deliver bespoke, locally responsive solutions to hotels the world over.
We are so excited to be bringing Muraspec along for the ride at this year’s Brit List Awards… with an air of effortless luxury, we know the Muraspec team will help elevate the Brit List Awards experience, come the 5th November. Keep your eyes open for some beautiful installations from the wallcovering brand on the night.
Muraspec has been putting colour and texture onto walls since the 1850s, and in that time it’s grown into one of the true names in wallcoverings – a brand designed and manufactured entirely in the UK, with a heritage that shows in the quality. From soft botanics and glittering metallics to bold murals and richly textured fabric-effect designs, the range runs across thousands of options, giving specifiers an enormous library to draw from, alongside bespoke and digitally printed collections for those wanting something entirely their own.
What sets Muraspec apart is how much of the process happens in-house. By keeping design and manufacturing under one roof, the brand can offer some of the shortest lead times in the industry, without cutting corners on its fire-rated, durable wallcoverings – a genuinely useful advantage for hospitality projects working to tight schedules.
Hotels are clearly a natural home for the brand’s work, with wallcoverings recently specified for properties including Fairlawns Hotel & Spa and Hotel Epica Bucharest, where heritage buildings have been given a fresh, considered new identity. It’s proof that Muraspec isn’t just supplying wallpaper – it’s helping shape the atmosphere and character of a space, one considered surface at a time.
Consistent supporters, and everyone’s favourite happy-go-lucky team, Schlüter-Systems are back again to help us celebrate in style at the 2026 Brit List Awards! With bathroom treats and signature cocktails last year, we can’t wait to see what they’ve come up with for this year’s ceremony.
Schlüter-Systems has spent over five decades perfecting what happens underneath the tiles, and in doing so has quietly become the name that installers and specifiers reach for time and again. It all began with founder Werner Schlüter, a master tiler who invented his first profile while working on a bathroom project – a hands-on origin story that still shapes the brand’s ‘practical experience for practical use’ ethos today.
That practical mindset now spans more than 12,000 products, from waterproofing membranes and uncoupling mats to drainage channels, underfloor heating and beautifully finished edge profiles. It’s the kind of engineering that rarely gets noticed by the guest lying in the bath, but makes all the difference to how a space actually performs – keeping moisture out, tiles secure, and floors warm underfoot.
For hospitality specifiers, Schlüter’s appeal lies in that dependable, almost invisible craftsmanship, proven on projects including Lympstone Manor, The Newt Hotel and Spa, and Raffles at The OWO. Add customisable finishes through ranges like TRENDLINE and MyDesign, and there’s scope for genuine design flair too, not just function. It’s proof that the best-looking bathrooms often owe just as much to what’s hidden as to what’s on show.
Possibly one of our most photographed sponsors on the night of The Brit list Awards, Balsan has become an integral collaborator for our annual awards as our red carpet partner. Last year’s red carpet installation had us all prowling along that incredible design like the catwalk models our inner selves knew we could be – but how on earth will they top that design this year?
Textiles have run through Balsan’s DNA for the best part of three centuries, and it shows. The French carpet and textile flooring specialist has built a reputation as a genuine ‘creator’ rather than a mere manufacturer, treating every collection less like a functional necessity and more like a piece of considered design – full of colour, graphic boldness and, quite often, a little element of surprise.
That creative streak comes with genuine substance behind it. Collections such as Vision of Elegance are designed specifically with hospitality spaces in mind, bringing warmth, texture and a sense of occasion to hotel interiors, while a customisation tool allows designers to tailor patterns and layouts to a project’s exact vision – turning an idea into a finished floor with relative ease.
Sustainability, too, is woven firmly into the story. Balsan describes itself as ‘the green factory’, balancing bold aesthetics with genuine environmental responsibility, and its innovations extend to details like BioBack backing technology, first introduced with the Lift Up collection. Backed by decades of industrial expertise and craftsmanship, Balsan continues to prove that textile flooring can be every bit as expressive as it is comfortable underfoot – a floor that doesn’t just get walked on, but genuinely adds to the atmosphere of a space.
Back again to deliver what is arguably one of the most important features at The Brit List Awards – the awards trophies themselves! Crafted from sustainably sourced wood, our EGGER designed trophies are a beautiful addition to The Brit List Awards and make for a lasting reminder for each winner’s accolades. Grand design reveal to come a little later on.
EGGER has spent over sixty years proving there’s more to wood than meets the eye. Founded in 1961 and still headquartered in St. Johann in Tyrol, Austria, the family-owned company has grown into one of the world’s leading manufacturers of wood-based materials, working across furniture and interior design, wood construction, and flooring alike.
For hospitality designers, EGGER’s appeal lies in that sheer range of decor, texture and finish, paired with genuinely useful digital tools like its Decorative Collection App, which puts thousands of options at a specifier’s fingertips wherever they’re working. It’s a full-range supplier in the truest sense, trusted by furniture makers, flooring retailers and construction firms alike.
Sustainability, meanwhile, is baked into the business model rather than bolted on. EGGER sources heavily from recycled and sawmill by-product timber through its UK subsidiary Timberpak, and its own EGGER Forestry operation helps maintain a closed-loop supply chain, all in pursuit of the company’s Net Zero 2050 commitment. It all adds up to a brand offering designers the raw material for beautiful spaces, without losing sight of where that material comes from.
Always on hand to capture the mood, fashion, the wins, and the dance moves on camera, Mike and his crew at Bonfire are our fantastic videographers for the evening – but will you feature in the final edit?!
