About Interior Design Show Toronto
The Interior Design Show (IDS Toronto) is an annual design fair held in Toronto each January. It shows global and Canadian furniture, lighting and interior products to designers, architects and design-minded consumers, and includes an accredited seminar program. It is run by Informa Connect.
Interior Design Show Toronto 2027
Interior Design Show Toronto runs January 21–24, 2027 at Metro Toronto Convention Centre North Building, Toronto.
What it is
IDS Toronto is a design fair for both the trade and the public. The organizer says it "celebrates and promotes the best in global and Canadian design, from emerging designers to legacy brands." The show floor mixes exhibitor stands with designed installations, prototypes and a marketplace.
The first Interior Design Show opened in January 1999. Informa bought the show in 2012, and it is now run by Informa Connect.
Trade program and admission
The IDS Conference is a program of accredited seminars and keynotes that runs over the show's first two days. The 2027 hours and ticket details are not posted yet. At the 2026 show the format was:
- Opening-night IDS Party: open to both the public and the trade, with its own ticket
- Professional trade days: for the design trade, with the accredited seminar program. Seminars were booked separately and added during trade badge registration.
- Public days on the weekend: the Saturday was both a trade and a public day
- Keynotes: free with any show pass
