The international design calendar is a rhythm the industry moves to, a sequence of moments where creativity gathers, ideas crystallise and the future of interiors is revealed in real time. Across the globe, design fairs and festivals operate as cultural salons: places where craftsmanship meets innovation, where heritage brands sit alongside emerging voices, and where the language of contemporary living is constantly rewritten.

From the grand stages of Europe’s historic trade halls to the fast-evolving design capitals of Asia, the scale of American showcases, and the distinctive perspectives emerging from Australia, India and China, each event contributes to a global narrative of design excellence. These gatherings are not merely exhibitions; they are immersive environments that capture shifts in materiality, technology and lifestyle, offering a preview of how we will inhabit spaces in the years ahead. For interior designers and discerning homeowners alike, they serve as a lens through which to understand the mood of the moment, and the possibilities beyond it.

This calendar brings together the defining interior design events of 2026, organised month by month, charting the occasions where the world’s creative community converges. Consider it both a guide and an invitation: to follow the conversations shaping the industry, to discover new expressions of luxury, and to draw inspiration from the places where design takes centre stage.
