ABOUT THE FAIR
Decor + Design is recognised as Australia’s premier trade fair for interior design and decoration. It is specifically tailored to industry professionals seeking innovative products, current trends, and international expertise. The event is held annually by Informa PLC, a globally operating exhibition organiser headquartered in London, renowned for its expertly curated industry platforms.
Each year, the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC) opens its doors to trade visitors from across Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. Far more than a product showcase, the event has established itself as the key meeting point for the country’s design and decoration community. Interior designers, architects, decorators, retailers and commercial buyers come together to discover new products, network with peers and attend a diverse program of talks, workshops and seminars.
The exhibition spans a wide range of sectors—from indoor and outdoor furniture to textiles, rugs, lighting, flooring, wall decor, art, and home accessories. A significant number of exhibits are presented by local manufacturers, design studios and artists, offering a compelling glimpse into the creative energy and innovation driving Australia’s design landscape.
A particular highlight is the VIVID Emerging Designer Awards, which honour outstanding work by up-and-coming talent and help shape the future of Australian design. Competitions and product launches generate media attention and add an inspirational dynamic for both exhibitors and visitors alike.
The MCEC is one of the most advanced exhibition venues in the Southern Hemisphere, offering a central location, barrier-free access, and excellent public transport connections. Melbourne itself is known as a creative hub, boasting a vibrant design scene, diverse culinary culture, and rich arts offering—making a visit to the fair a truly holistic experience.
Decor + Design is unique in its format. For anyone working in the interior sector, it offers not only new business opportunities, but also valuable insights and inspiration that help define the design of today—and tomorrow.
The Decor + Design will take place on 3 days from Wednesday, 15. July to Friday, 17. July 2026 in Melbourne.
