Ideal Home Show Scotland
May 27-30
Glasgow, Scotland

This, the Scottish version of the popular Ideal Home Show (held in London March 11-27), is expected to attract around 400 domestic and international exhibitors. Highlights of this year's show include The Ideal Home of the Future sponsored by Virgin, the How-to Theatre - which offers visitors DIY tips - and the Dulux Let's Colour Studio which provides visitors with advice on color schemes. In terms of content and size the event is smaller than The Ideal Home Show held in London but similar to Grand Designs Live (held in London April 30- May 8).

Interior Lifestyle Tokyo
June 1-3
Tokyo, Japan

A design-oriented trade fair for the high-end Japanese interior market, last year's event attracted upwards of 80,000 visitors. Interior Life Style is a combination of two other Messe Frankfurt trade fairs - Ambiente and Heimtextil. Focused on Japanese, rather than international trends, the event showcases the latest designs for the kitchen and dining area as well as home accessories and textiles.
