From 16th – 18th July 2025, Decor + Design & The Australian International Furniture Fair (AIFF) will be tapping into all the creativity in the cosmos of design, with the theme of Elements.
In 2024, 9,000+ visitors were inspired by 200+ brands that presented a 360-degree view of the Australian furniture and design industry. AIFF was a focused space for retailers that allowed them to be inspired by the biggest brands in Australian furniture wholesaling under one roof; the only event of its kind in Australia.
Cosmos, Creation and Connection
In 2025, we’ll come of age and celebrate our 21st birthday with Elements. Decor + Design & AIFF ’25 will feature beautiful and immersive elements which draw on the zeitgeist of international and local design trends.
Cosmos
The show will unpack inspirational elements of the cosmos, including light, earth, air and celestial inspiration. Incorporating international ideas around science, magic and technology, Elements will continue to cement our position as Australia’s most important networking and buying destination for the furniture industry.
Creation
Over three days at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre, our platform will give 200+ brands the opportunity to express their creativity across indoor and outdoor furniture, lighting, soft furnishings, textiles, art and more. Watch out for stunning Design & Architectural installations, including a brand new brand new Seminar Theatre inspired by organic forms.
Connection
In the words of Phillipe Starck, ‘design is a tool to help the tribe.’ Decor + Design & AIFF is a fundamental platform for community. We will continue to connect the next generation at VIVID Emerging Designer Awards, Australia’s longest running design competition.
A chic meeting place for savvy designers, the Champagne Lounge will get a new look to reflect the 2025 theme, while the prestigious International Seminar Series will once again give you the opportunity to meet interior design stars from at home and afar.
Introducing Our 2025 Colour Palette
Tapping into international colour trends, our 2025 colour palette reflects the rich jewel tones and purples seen in Paris and Milan.
Ripe Rhubarb: For Decor + Design’s hero hue, we’ve chosen Ripe Rhubarb from our colour partner Dulux’s 2025 Emerge palette. This gorgeous reddish-purple will anchor the show, providing depth and beauty.
Hubba Bubba Purple: To accent the above, we’ve devised a colour of our own for The Australian International Furniture Fair (AIFF), a playful purple inspired by the colour palette at Maison & Objet in Paris.

Australia’s premier interior design trade event will celebrate its 21st birthday at Melbourne Exhibition Centre from 16th – 18th July, co-located with the Green Design Show.
