The House & Garden Festival

19-23 June at Olympia London is the only fair of its kind and an inspiring day out for summer shopping. The Festival brings together three individual events: House Fair combined with Grow London, Spirit of Summer Fair and The Art & Antiques Fair Olympia. 

The British Institute of Interior Design (BIID) is partnering with the House & Garden Festival 2019, hosting a series of BIID events and activities at the inspiring interiors event. These include a BIID panel discussion as part of the show’s Expert Theatre programme, a series of Interior Advice Clinics with BIID Registered Interior Designers and a dedicated talk at the Art & Antiques Fair Olympia.

Chaired by BIID President Elect, Harriet Forde, the BIID panel discussion will focus on ‘How an interior designer can add value to your project.’ Joining Harriet for an insightful discussion, will be BIID Members Brian Woulfe, Rosie Winston and Henry Prideaux, who will be discussing the benefits of working with a professional interior designer and how their expertise can transform and add value to a project. Taking place at 12:30pm on Wednesday 19th June, this talk will give an overview of the services and skills that interior designers provide, how to find the right designer for a project and how to get the best out of the client/designer relationship.

Following from their success at the Festival last year, the BIID Interior Advice Clinics will be returning to the show floor at the House and Garden Festival 2019, offering one-to-one professional advice during the event. Each complimentary session will be hosted by a BIID Member and Registered Interior Designer, giving attendees invaluable tips and advice that they can take away and apply to their own projects.
