Industry professionals and earnest homemakers congregate this weekend at the Interior Design Show, the annual fair devoted to the year’s most innovative products and latest home-design trends. This year’s show brings exhibits from over 320 designers, manufacturers and local craft merchants, including European heavyweights like Miele and renowned design studios like London’s Raw Edges. The eye-catching displays include reclaimed-wood furniture, futuristic kitchens and all kinds of fascinating light fixtures, and prices range from the extravagant to the surprisingly affordable—although it’s worth checking out even if your wishlist is purely the fantasy kind.
The two-day event hosts over 50,000 attendees, and it’s easy to get lost among the 175,000 square feet of coloured booths and dazzling LED lights. Here, 21 products and installations that you definitely shouldn’t miss.
Interior Design Show Toronto. $19-$22. Jan. 25-26, Metro Toronto Convention Centre, 255 Front St. W., interiordesignshow.com
