Why come on the tour?

Design Show 2026 brings together some of Australia’s most exciting suppliers, makers, materials and product innovations across interiors, architecture, furniture, lighting, surfaces, finishes and building.

But with so much to see, it can be easy to miss the pieces that truly stand out.

Melissa will guide you through a selection of the products, suppliers and design ideas she believes are worth knowing about — sharing insight into what makes them special, how they can elevate a home, and where the real opportunities in design are right now.

Think of it as sourcing with a designer by your side.

What you’ll experience

During the tour, Melissa will share her perspective on:

Standout products and suppliers
Discover some of the beautiful, clever and innovative products Melissa has found at the show, and why they caught her eye.

The details you might otherwise miss
Learn what separates one product from another, what creates quality, and what makes a supplier or material genuinely worth considering.

Design opportunities for your home or project
Understand where the opportunities lie — whether you are building, renovating, furnishing, styling or specifying for clients.

Insider knowledge from real project experience
Melissa will talk through products not just from a style perspective, but from the lens of how they can work in real homes, renovations and builds.

A more confident way to source
Rather than feeling overwhelmed by options, you’ll gain a clearer sense of what to look for, what questions to ask, and how to make more considered design decisions.
