Those looking to get ahead of the latest styles for the home should make a beeline for this yearly celebration of what’s next in the world of interior design. More than 600 brands will be present, each itching to showcase their new collections.
Joining the roster of showrooms will be three openings: wallpaper store Designmixer, curtain and hardware experts Tilly’s and Obeetee, which specialises in handwoven rugs. Plus, House Guests to meet along Design Avenue include the likes of Lights & Lamps, bespoke furniture maker Fiona McDonald and Joro. The latter will again be taking over Social Pantry café with its fabrics, inspired by and made in India.
There will once again be a packed schedule of talks and events, but ensure you save enough time to take the elevator up to the fifth floor where you will discover the brand-new Design Emporium Collective. This carefully curated space promises to be a shopper’s paradise, bringing together hand-picked pieces from 19 brands. dcch.co.uk
