The Interior Design Show (IDS) returned for its 25th anniversary year, celebrating the best in creativity and design for interiors (and exteriors). The annual show took place this year on Jan 18-21, 2024, at Toronto’s Metro Convention Centre, and it was extremely well attended.

There was a packed schedule of events on all days of the show.

We got a preview of the Signature Kitchen Suite with a delicious demonstration by Chef Mark McEwan (head judge of Top Chef Canada) and enjoyed seeing the appliances in action.

Dezeen Day was on the Thursday opening day with panels on Shaping the Future with Circular Design and In Conversation with Alison Brooks.

Later that evening was the Opening Party, which was an exhilarating time to schmooze and celebrate. The highlight of the night was performances by Miss Moco and Tynomi Banks, who brought the energy up for the crowds. The very talented DJs Armandd, Phillippe and Ace Dillinger got everyone dancing away. It was fun to walk around and experience all the booths.
AZURE Trade Talks was held on Friday, January 19, 2024, and featured Capture: The Art & Technique of Architectural Photography, Interior Design and the Changing Climate, in conversation with Marva Griffin and Oskar Zieta.
The Globe & Mail sponsored talks on Saturday about The Future Neighbourhood, Designing Canada 2024: Living in the Multi-verse and Ten Years of the Fogo Island Inn: A Design Legacy House and Home.

Sunday, hosted by Lynda Reeves, featured exciting designers Brian Gluckstein: SIGNATURE MOVES, Christiane Lemieux: HOME AS A SANCTUARY, and Aly Velji: GLOBAL VIBES, A NEW LOOK FOR LAYERED.

There were so many interesting exhibits to see throughout the convention centre. Be Shine‘s customized wall fabrics, Muraluxe.ca‘s custom-made wall murals,
CABN showed their super cool Hutt model of prefab structures that are liveable and affordable. Roche Bobois’s collaboration with Joana Vasconcelos with the BomBom Collection. There were other exciting displays from Sherwin Williams, Miele and many others.
Studio North had independent product designers showing their unique designs within a gallery-like setting.
It was a very successful show, and we are looking forward to IDS 2025!
