We are delighted to unveil a new Visitor feature in collaboration with Scarlet Opus. New for 2025, the show includes an interactive space designed to immerse Visitors in the latest home trends.
Scarlet Opus provide detailed and accurate insights about the future of home, work, and consumer lifestyles to leading international brands, helping them understand and adapt to shifting consumer landscapes to build lasting commercial success.
With a focus on wellbeing and sustainability, independent retailers are invited to learn more about the 2025 consumer and design trend, Healing. Visitors can discover a tactile, interactive space, designed to connect buyers with the latest in colour, fabrics, and texture, as well as material innovation; providing retailers with a competitive edge designed to fuel business growth.
Experience the Future of Materials
With consumers increasingly seeking products that nurture both their own sense of wellbeing as well as that of the planet, the Materials Zone will offer an expertly curated selection of the latest developments in sustainable materials that are shaping the future of product and packaging design. Visitors will have a unique opportunity to see the materials first hand. From fish and cactus leathers, to timber waste terrazzo, and new eco-packaging solutions; attendees will be treated to an array of on-trend colour palettes from shadowy greys, to ocean inspired aquas, as well as weightier shades of stellar blues, sedimentary brown, and earthy plum.
The Materials Zone will give Visitors a fresh perspective for product storytelling within the wellness and sustainability conversation. With a focus on engaging the senses, and telling the stories behind the materials, retailers can learn how they can meet the consumer desire for greater levels of more meaningful connection with the products and spaces they choose to surround themselves with.
Open to all retailers and free to attend, INDX Home provides a unique opportunity to explore the latest offerings, network, and place orders all under one roof. INDX Shows: Where conversations are had, deals are made, and your passion for retail reignited. Registration is now open

"Our team has been sourcing must-see samples from Manufacturers and Designers around the world to bring together a fascinating library of materials especially for INDX Home. Show visitors will be able to study the materials and colours in the reception area - to gather info about the Healing trend’s aesthetics - before heading into the exhibition halls. Plus, we’ll be on hand to walk visitors around the display tables and provide extra info and trend insights."
"This is more than just a materials showcase […] With the Materials Zone we want to offer visitors a tactile and interactive experience that will inspire them to rethink material choices, crafting them into compelling stories with a new narrative of wellbeing and sustainability."
