The Benefits of Home Interior Trade Shows

The benefits of home interior trade shows

What are the benefits of home interior trade shows? If you are planning a grand design, upgrading your abode, getting stuck in to that extension or new build project then home interior trade shows are just for you.

These treasure troves of inspiration are both hugely informative and super exciting and full of the latest ideas as well as a wealth of tried and trusted products – all under one roof.

They are designed to get your creative juices flowing and are a must for home design enthusiasts everywhere. Whether you are a homeowner, interior designer, architect or builder, they are well worth a visit and are a great place to gather lots of info. Many of our customers create a shortlist of the brands and products they like and then journey plan across a couple of days to visit showrooms.

We predominantly attend 2 home interior trade shows each year – The Homebuilding & Renovation Show at the Birmingham NEC In March and Build It Live in Bicester in June. They are all brilliant shows. These really are home interior trade shows for the serious renovator that draw a fairly firm line regards who gets to exhibit. That keeps the quality high – not too many duplications of product and a real focus on the build. Let’s explore both.

Homebuilding and Renovating Show - Birmingham NEC

Billed as a show showcasing self-build specialists, renovation experts and leading brands all under one roof, The Homebuilding & Renovating Show takes place at the NEC, Birmingham.

We find this one of the very valuable home decor trade fairs where customers have a chance to meet a whole host of industry experts. There are informative seminars where you can ask advice and more. It also means we have the opportunity to showcase both our tried and trusted tiles as well as brand new collections. It is always great to chat to customers and gather feedback and also help with queries and more.

For us, exhibitions are as much about listening to customers latest requests as it is showcasing what we have to offer. It is your chance to ask us lots of questions, and we can offer insights into the latest trends and the latest tile technology as well as what to look out for when choosing tiles and the innovations that are shaping the industry.

This is a huge fair, with just about everything you could possibly need in the world of homebuilding. So it is well worth a visit. You can grab two free tickets a few weeks before the show by visiting our website – simply click the link here! www.thetileportfolio.co.uk.

Build It Live - Bicester

Billed as The UK’s most practical and informative self-build exhibition, Build It Live takes place in the heart of Oxfordshire in the lovely village of Bicester at the Heritage Centre. We’ve attended the Build It Live exhibitions for a number of years now. This is a great home decor trade fair – large enough to showcase everything you need if you are undertaking a new build or renovation project, and compact enough to get round absolutely everything in a day – or two if you prefer! It’s a super friendly show, and we love it. It’s well worth a visit and the airfield is such a beautiful setting it seems to make the whole experience a joy.

Let's explore

Let’s take a look at some of the latest tile trends that we have been exhibiting!

With warmer tones definitely making a comeback from an interiors perspective, we have some of the most beautiful tiles. Putties, taupes, stones and sands are making their way into our homes and in both large and smaller format tiles.

Wood wood effect porcelain tiles are more in demand than ever and we’ve a whole host of perfect options with our collections. For smaller planks take a look at our Serenity collection, or for larger options take a look at our Oakwood collection. Our brand new Knot wood effect porcelain tile collection is perfect for creating that Scani feel. In addition, our beautiful Louis porcelain tiles are always a firm favourite – these gorgeous parquet wood effect tiles are stunning.

It’s been one of our top tile trends for the past few years and has been steadily growing. The trend for indoor outdoor living continues and we are connecting and opening up space like never before. We have had many of our latest inside outside tile collections available to view at the shows with porcelain tiles that work inside the home and outside the home.

Our exceptional collection of inside outside porcelain tiles feature thinner 9mm porcelains for inside and thicker 2cm porcelains for outside. We’ve a stack of tiles to pick from – and we’ve hand-picked these collections from Italian suppliers we know and trust – that means well-balanced shades, excellent quality and beautiful designs so you have the pick of the crop including the very latest designs as well as our tried and trusted collections.

Perfect patterns and colour drenching! We’ve a beautiful selection of patterned and coloured tiles always on hand at the exhibitions. From our Motif and Bloom collections with their hand drawn designs in subtle pastel shades to our Adore and Smitten gloriously glossy coloured tiles.

Home interior trade shows really are a great way of exploring all things “build” under one roof. Why not join us at one of the exhibitions and find out more about our beautiful tiles as well as a whole lot more!
