What to expect
The show floor is where most people spend their time. Hundreds of exhibitors bring the latest in furniture, lighting, kitchens, bathrooms and materials, so it is a good place to see new products up close before you renovate or furnish a home. Many brands launch their new collections here.
Beyond the booths, IDS runs a program of talks and panels with well-known designers and architects, along with feature installations and showcases for emerging designers. There is also a marketplace where you can buy directly from local makers, which is a highlight for many visitors.
Tips for your visit
Weekdays are quieter than Saturday and Sunday, so go early in the run if you want time to talk to exhibitors. Check the talks schedule before you go, as the most popular sessions fill up quickly. If you work in design or architecture, register for a trade pass in advance; it is usually cheaper and gives you access on the industry days. Buying tickets online before the show also saves money.
