Decorex 2026

Some things you just can’t judge from a product page. Decorex 2026 lands at Olympia, London from October 11 to 14 with 280+ high-end interior brands under one roof, and it’s very much a show for touching the fabric, sitting in the chair and meeting the people who made it. Expect leading names and emerging designer brands side by side, plus a packed talks program.

Key Highlights

• A serious sourcing floor. More than 280 curated brands cover furniture, lighting, fabric, flooring, kitchens, bathrooms, tiles and accessories, with plenty of new launches and collections on show.
• Names worth tracking down. Confirmed 2026 exhibitors include Tigermoth Lighting, Ian Mankin, Linwood, ILIV and Marc Wood, so bring your project briefs and an empty sample bag.
• Design Talks from working designers. The visit page promises 100+ speakers, 48 sessions and 16 hour-long workshops, with Tiffany Duggan of Studio Duggan, Roisin Lafferty and Russell Sage on the 2026 lineup.
• Making Spaces is back. After its 2025 run, the live craft showcase returns with a brand-new lineup of artisans demonstrating their skills, backed by craft organizations including QEST and Cockpit.
• A dedicated Sustainability Space. It once again hosts a series of talks where leading brands and interior designers dig into the industry’s sustainability challenges.
• Plan meetings in the app. The Decorex event app lets you build a profile, schedule meetings and connect with exhibitors ahead of time, which helps a lot on a floor this size.
• Networking off the stand. The VIP Lounge, The Bar and The Café in the National Hall are set up for client meetings and supplier catch-ups between aisles.

Why Decorex 2026 Matters

Decorex has been running for nearly five decades and bills itself as Europe’s leading event for high-end interior designers, and the audience numbers back up that trade focus: 12,500+ visitors from 70+ countries, with 70% of them interior designers and 60% owners, directors or CEOs. For brands, that’s a room full of decision-makers. For designers, architects, developers and hoteliers sourcing for luxury residential or hospitality projects, it’s a rare chance to compare finishes and craftsmanship in person before specifying.
