Some of the biggest names in Australia’s design industry will come together under one roof when Decor + Design returns to the Melbourne Exhibition Centre next month.

From July 15 – 17, the annual trade show is marking its 22nd edition with an inspiring program that’s bigger and better than ever before.

More than 200 exhibitors are set to take part, revealing the latest in indoor and outdoor furniture, lighting, textiles and art.

The much-anticipated Vivid Emerging Designer Awards and the International Seminar Series are also returning, with tickets available to learn from the likes of The Block judges Darren Palmer and Shaynna Blaze, the founders of fashion brand Romance Was Born, and international keynote speaker Karen Walker.

Sydney stylist Kerrie-Ann Jones will also be in conversation with The Design Files editor Lucy Feagins for a special talk covering ‘How To Get Published’!

This year’s theme is ‘FRESH!’: reflecting the need for play, joy and optimism across the design world, Decor + Design are launching the brand-new Designer District — a section spotlighting major design brands such as Maison Balzac and many more.

Whether you’re a residential or commercial interior designer, architect, retailer, buyer or in design media, this year’s edition is not to be missed.

Registration for the exhibition is free and limited to design trade professionals only. Visitors will also get access to the sustainably focused Green Design Show, co-located at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre for the three-day event.
