Spring Fair is set to return to the NEC Birmingham from 1st-4th February with its "most design-driven edition yet".
Under the creative theme Retail Alchemists – Masters of the Mix, the UK retail showcase places renewed emphasis on interiors, occasional furniture and design innovation, led by the launch of Design at Spring Fair, a new destination dedicated to interiors, architecture and hospitality.
Positioned at the Hall 6 entrance and integrated with Home, Living & Décor and The Summer House Edit, Design at Spring Fair represents a significant step forward, says event organiser Hyve, extending the show’s influence beyond retail into the wider design and specification market. The curated destination showcases occasional furniture, lighting, textiles, ceramics and decorative finishes suited to residential, commercial and hospitality projects.
Confirmed exhibitors include Rama Carpets (featuring Christopher Guy and Calvin Klein), Clare Wright Art, Bowron Sheepskins, TA Interiors, Nordic Lighting, Maison Marguerite and Urban Nature Culture, alongside a strong mix of artisan makers and emerging brands. Across adjacent halls, leading home suppliers including Coach House, Astley, Gallery Direct, Mindy Brownes Interiors, The Libra Company, PR Home, Pacific, The Otters Brook Collection, Yearn Glass, One.World and the returning Light & Living add scale and commercial depth.
Tablescaping and tableware will form a strong narrative across halls 6, 7 and 8. Highlights include Ulster Home, DRH Collection with stemware from Anton Studio Designs London, Captivate Brands with licensed ranges from Orla Kiely, Mary Berry and Yvonne Ellen, and My Gifts Trade showcasing Costa Nova, Casa Fina and Tokyo Design Studio. Returning after a decade, Umbra brings contemporary functional design, while Bloomingville Gallery and Coach House present fully styled, lifestyle-led tablescapes.
Design thinking continues at The Design Studio, a new content and networking hub hosting keynote conversations from leading architects and designers. Stand-out sessions include Original by Design with Jack Sawbridge (Zaha Hadid Architects) and Battersea Reimagined with WilkinsonEyre’s Sebastien Ricard.
Promising over 1,200 exhibitors and an expanded programme of feature spaces, Spring Fair says the 2026 edition will reinforce its position as "the UK’s most comprehensive sourcing destination for occasional furniture, decor and interior design".
