The Inspired Home Show 2024 – The Latest Market-Driven Home Products with Strategic Insights into Key Industry Developments

Discover unique sourcing opportunities and find new, innovative products

One key reason for international buyers to visit The Inspired Home Show in Chicago is to find innovative new products and brands to differentiate their product offering and concepts. In addition to high-quality, high-design global brands, the Show features the entire product lines of leading and emerging U.S. housewares brands, product suppliers and designers — not just the products pre-selected for export markets displayed at non-U.S. shows. Buyers have a chance to find innovative new products and product lines that are not yet available in other markets.

Featuring exhibitors from over 50 countries, the Show is organized into four expos:

Dine + Décor
Clean + Contain
Wired + Well
International Sourcing Expo

The Inspired Home Show lives up to its name by offering not only inspiring products in exhibitors’ booths but also through displays and educational offerings. Again in 2024, the New Product Showcases will give attendees a quick overview of what’s new and exciting. The Pantone ColorWatch Display will provide attendees with an inspiring look at color trends that will impact consumer purchases in the year that follows and the gia Global Innovation Awards displays will continue to showcase the very best new products in 14 different categories alongside award-winning retail concepts from around the world.

Recognizing a key trending category, The Inspired Home Show 2024 will provide retailers with the latest developments in the smart home movement. The Show’s Smart Home pavilion features exhibitors of smart home brands and connected products for the different areas of the home. In addition to the Smart Home pavilion, more Smart Home products can be found throughout the Show.

The Inventors Corner Pavilion features 60 booths showcasing new housewares innovations and just-ready-for-market inventions. The Inventors Corner also features the Inventors Revue, where start-up marketers present their creations to a panel of experts and seasoned inventors offer presentations on how to succeed as an inventor.

Learn about color and consumer trends, design and retail best practices

The Show’s educational programming will include a color trends presentation by Lee Eiseman of Pantone, Tom Mirabile’s exploration into consumer lifestyle trends and a state of the industry report on housewares, featuring data and analyses on supplier, industry and consumer trends, and offering forward-looking insights for the global home and housewares market over the next 12 to 24 months. In addition to the keynotes, the Show’s Innovation Theater will feature presentations on international lifestyle trends, consumer purchasing habits, design, retail best practices and more.

Visit world-class retailers such as Crate & Barrel, Williams-Sonoma and The Container Store

In addition to what can be found at the Show, Chicago is a great destination for housewares retail benchmarking. To make visiting the inspiring Chicago retailers easy, the Show offers Chicago retail brochure and maps to help with self-guided housewares store visits in central Chicago as well as a U.S. market presentation and retail tour to visit some of the most exciting home and housewares retailers in suburban Chicago.
