Autumn Fair promises to bring together its strongest-ever collection of homeware, interiors and lifestyle brands this September, making its Home, Living & Décor and The Summer House destinations a valuable visit for retailers preparing for the busiest buying season of the year.
Taking place at the NEC Birmingham from 6-9th September, Autumn Fair, co-located with Glee on the 8-9th, will welcome more than 1,250 exhibitors, 20,000 buyers and over 500,000 products, with the Home destination showcasing everything from occasional furniture, textiles and decorative accessories to artisan homeware, premium gifts and outdoor living collections.
Spanning Home, Living & Décor and the curated The Summer House, Autumn Fair says it offers buyers an opportunity to discover products that blend timeless design with emerging trends: "From statement furniture and luxurious textiles to handcrafted ceramics, decorative accessories, home fragrance and seasonal styling, the destination brings together established industry leaders alongside exciting independent brands, helping retailers create compelling homeware assortments for every customer.
"The Summer House continues to be one of Autumn Fair's most distinctive destinations, showcasing an edit of premium, design-led brands renowned for craftsmanship, originality and beautifully curated collections. With influences ranging from Scandinavian minimalism and rustic living to contemporary elegance and artisan design, it remains the place where buyers discover products that become year-round bestsellers.
"A major enhancement for 2026 is the closer integration of the Home destination with Glee, creating an uninterrupted buying journey between the two events. Located across Hall 6, Home, Living & Décor naturally connects with complementary gift brands before seamlessly flowing into Glee's garden and outdoor living exhibitors, allowing buyers to explore indoor and outdoor collections in one continuous experience. The expanded layout reflects the increasing convergence between home interiors, gifting and outdoor living as consumers look to create cohesive living spaces that extend beyond the home.
"The show also comes at a pivotal time for retailers. While consumers remain value-conscious, spending on the home continues to be driven by a desire to create spaces that support wellbeing, self-expression and entertaining. Trends including layered interiors, natural materials, artisanal craftsmanship, Scandinavian-inspired design, indoor-outdoor living and investment pieces continue to influence purchasing decisions, creating fresh opportunities for retailers to inspire customers with thoughtful, design-led collections."
Event director Matthew Mein comments: “The home continues to be one of retail's most dynamic categories. Consumers are investing in products that make their homes feel more personal, comfortable and inspiring, and retailers are looking for collections that combine great design with commercial appeal. This year, we've created our strongest Home destination yet. From beautifully curated premium brands in The Summer House to established suppliers and exciting new discoveries across Home, Living & Décor, buyers will find an exceptional breadth of products alongside the latest trends shaping the market.
“Combined with our co-location with Glee, we're offering a truly seamless buying experience that reflects the way retailers buy today, across home, gift, lifestyle and outdoor living, all under one roof.”
