Decorex, the annual luxury interiors showcase, is set to return to London's Olympia in October, and it promises to be a spectacular event. This year's edition, the 48th, will be a celebration of creativity, innovation, and connection, according to event director Sam Fisher. But what makes Decorex truly special is the unique mix of brands and the personal connections that are forged there. For interior designer Brian Woulfe, Decorex is a place where he can stay ahead of emerging developments in design and manufacturing, while also meeting the people behind the brands. This year, the event will feature a host of new and established brands, including Knots Rugs, Hyde House, Linwood, Arte, Rachel Dein, Sterox Studio, and Tracy Kendall Wallpaper. But what makes Decorex truly fascinating is the designer collaborations that take place each year. This year, decorative artist Claire Coles has been invited to transform all aspects of the event, from installations across the show floor to digital platforms and social media. Her layered style will weave a distinctive visual narrative for visitors to enjoy. The VIP Lounge and Decorex Bar are also overseen by hand-picked designers, with Claudia Dorsch and AEVEN's Alex Dauley and Grant Pierrus bringing their unique concepts to life. Dauley will also host a panel as part of the Decorex Talks Programme, offering valuable insights into the issues shaping interior design today. The Making Spaces platform, now in its fifth year, will highlight the work of the UK's best craft practitioners and offer a glimpse into their making processes. Decorex is a moment in the year where the broader design community stops to connect, and it remains a staple for all of us. Designing the bar this year makes it feel even more personal: that shared energy and cultural insight keeps our industry thriving. Registration for Decorex 2026 is now open, with early-bird tickets available until July 17. So, mark your calendars and get ready for a truly unmissable celebration of creativity, innovation, and connection at Decorex.
