Interior Design Show (IDS) Toronto

The Interior Design Show Toronto (IDS Toronto) is Canada’s leading trade fair for contemporary living, interior trends, and visionary product design. Since its launch in 1999, it has become a key meeting point for designers, architects, manufacturers, retailers, and design enthusiasts who want to explore the future of living.

Each year, the show opens its doors at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. It is organized by Informa Connect, an internationally active company with extensive experience in curating innovative trade show formats. Over the years, IDS Toronto has established itself as a platform for forward-thinking design and progressive solutions.

More than just a product showcase, IDS Toronto positions itself as a curated format with clearly defined thematic priorities. The show addresses some of today’s most pressing challenges and trends: sustainability, circular economy, technological innovation, social responsibility, cultural diversity, and the role of design as a transformative force in an evolving society. Special attention is given to the intersection of aesthetics and functionality—reflected in themes such as adaptive living, material innovation, and smart home technologies.

The exhibition is divided into several curated areas, each focusing on specific topics. Leading brands and independent designers present their latest concepts—from innovative lighting solutions and distinctive furniture designs to one-of-a-kind pieces. The range spans visionary prototypes offering a glimpse into the future of living, to exclusive collections by renowned labels celebrated for their design excellence and international relevance.

IDS Toronto is much more than a stage for products: it serves as a dynamic forum for knowledge exchange, creative inspiration, and interdisciplinary dialogue. International speakers, hands-on workshops, and high-caliber panel discussions provide attendees with in-depth insights into current design movements, economic developments, and societal issues.

Exhibitors primarily come from sectors such as furniture manufacturing, lighting, interior design, architecture, materials research, technology, and home accessories. Visitors include a professional audience of interior designers, developers, architects, retailers, buyers, and journalists. At the same time, a design-savvy public from Toronto’s urban environment attends the show to discover new ideas and inspiration.

IDS Toronto is part of a larger family of design fairs, which also includes IDS Vancouver. While Toronto serves as the economic and creative hub of Eastern Canada, Vancouver brings in perspectives from the West. Each event has its own unique focus but remains united through shared values.

The venue, Metro Toronto Convention Centre, is centrally located in downtown Toronto and is easily accessible by public transit and car. The city itself offers a rich cultural landscape where design, architecture, and urban innovation have long played a vital role. IDS Toronto builds on this legacy—serving as a showcase for what defines modern living today and tomorrow.

The Interior Design Show (IDS) will take place on 4 days from Thursday, 22. January to Sunday, 25. January 2026 in Toronto.
