Welcome to Furniture Fair Online

Exciting textiles and prints are making a comeback at the moment, amid a growing confidence in the power of colour and texture that's all part of a new direction in furnishing. Consumers are increasingly taking the plunge, blending old and new to create a refreshingly individual look in which great fabrications and innovative designs play an important part.

At Decoration + Design from 15-18 July, a thrilling feature celebrating this new direction will be on show. Dubbed Handsome Prints and featuring a one-off, custom made floor that will literally ‘floor' viewers with its knock out design and colour, the event is an absolute must.

With Furnitex and Decoration + Design kicking off next week, this is the last newsletter before the big day. While we've crammed in exhibitor stories and highlights from the International Industry Seminar Series, there really isn't space to do justice to the multitude of special events and features at the fairs.

The only thing for it is to book yourselves in and head down to Melbourne Exhibition Centre. Hope to see you there!

At Furniture Fair Online we're keen to hear your stories. If you're launching a new brand, expanding your retail presence, changing your marketing strategy, or you have an industry issue you'd like to air, spread the news! Contact me at belindas@aec.net.au
