Whether you are searching for traditional, classic, contemporary or more eclectic furniture, the sheer range of styles that will be on display will be breathtaking. This is the first time that Aram will be exhibiting, showing their breadth of collections and styles from some of the leading names in modern and contemporary furniture including Cassina, Poltrona Frau, Cappellini, Knoll and Eileen Gray.

This year, Decorex will see a greater number of bathroom and kitchen specialists exhibiting for the first time, including Catchpole & Rye, Czech & Speake and Metris Kitchens.

Catchpole & Rye will be displaying some of their luxury baths made from 100% cast iron such as 'Saracen Grands' and 'Le Bateau Grand', while Czech & Speake will be introducing two new additions to their Cubist range of Deco-inspired bathroom furniture.

Specialised in bespoke modern kitchens, Metris Kitchens will also be revealing one of their new curvaceous ranges, 'Contour Curve'.

Lighting companies new to Decorex include Diffuse, experts in designing and producing high quality translucent porcelain lighting for both contract and domestic interiors. Meanwhile, CTO Lighting will be displaying their contemporary designer collection.

Serip, a Portuguese lighting company, will be showcasing a new collection by Ilda Pires at the show. The range includes three chandeliers and a floor lamp, all made from bronze and glass.

Fabric and Wallpaper
Decorex has been regarded as the place to witness the best fabric and wallpaper designs, whether it be the work of the established houses or some of the most exciting and celebrated young British talent.

Supported by its rich heritage within the textiles industry, Kai will be previewing their new collections, 'Metallics' and 'Linen' on their stand at Decorex. Ian Mankin, another leading fabric company with a reputation on classic and accessible designs, will also be making their first appearance at the show. They will be showcasing their latest range of linens and linen unions in a variety of new colours and textures.

Having worked with some of the top haute couture designers, Geraldine Larkin is a rising star. One of her latest projects is designing and producing hand-embroidered interiors pieces using unconventional fabrics. The key launch on her Decorex stand will be the result of her collaboration with Azucena, an iconic Catilina stainless steel chair with hand-embroidered upholstered seat.

Louise Body, who has already gained significant recognition in the industry with her wallpaper design, will be launching her first fabric collection at Decorex. Inspired by Louise's previous wallpaper range 'Plant Life' and her grandmother's Victorian glasshouse, the new fabric offering will complement her existing wallpaper selection. In addition to the launch, Louise will be transforming the show's ladies and gents with her Decorex-exclusive wallpaper.

Rugs and Flooring
The flooring retailer WovenGround will be bringing their new collection to Decorex this year. Rugs by Calvin Klein and Ligne Pure amongst others will be on display, some of which will be exclusively available from WovenGround in the UK.

Ebony & Co, specialist in bespoke wood flooring, will be launching two new finishes - 'Continental' and 'Mirror', and a new flooring line 'Engineered'. Both finishes are available in a wide range of colours, while 'Engineered' offers many choices of wood such as American white oak and black American walnut, all carefully sourced from rapidly renewable forests. Meanwhile, hand-woven carpet and rug specialists, Jacaranda, will be showcasing four new broadlooms at the show, including 'Ranila', 'Kasari', 'Kundara' and an eco-friendly design.
