January Furniture Show 2026
The January Furniture Show (JFS) returns from 18–21 January 2026 at the NEC Birmingham, the UK’s only dedicated premium furniture and home interiors event in the first quarter. The show attracts 20,000 visitors and 500 exhibitors, showcasing over 50,000 products from around the world.
JFS presents a broad spectrum of interiors products, including furniture, lighting, surfaces, textiles and specialist components. Many exhibitors use the show to launch new collections, giving designers early access to pieces that are likely to shape trends in the year ahead. It also provides the opportunity to compare materials, finishes and construction methods side by side, supporting informed sourcing and specification decisions.
Alongside product discovery, the show reflects wider developments in the industry. Sustainability, craftsmanship and evolving manufacturing practices are increasingly prominent, highlighting how designers and makers are responding to client expectations and environmental considerations.
For interior designers, JFS offers a practical, focused overview of the market in one setting. It combines a platform to explore current and upcoming products with insight into broader industry trends, from production techniques to design directions. The 2026 edition promises a concentrated view of the sector at a pivotal moment in the interiors calendar.
