The Irish Furniture & Homewares Awards 2026 celebrated the very best of this year’s Irish Furniture & Homewares Show, recognising standout products, leading exhibitors and excellence in innovation, sustainability, presentation and sales.
Held on the evening of the show’s opening day, the awards brought exhibitors together after a busy first day of trading for an evening of recognition and celebration. Reflecting the quality, diversity and fresh thinking across this year’s exhibitor line-up, the awards showcased the strength of the products, brands and ideas on display.
Competition was strong across the categories, with Head Judge Amanda Bone assessing entries in the Global Product, European Product, Sustainability Initiative and Display & Exhibition Stand categories, alongside awards recognising supplier and sales excellence.
A Registered Architect and judge on RTÉ’s Home of the Year, Amanda brought extensive experience across architecture, interiors and residential design to the judging process. Her expert and discerning eye helped identify the entries that stood out for their design, quality, innovation and presentation, further reinforcing the significance of the Irish Furniture & Homewares Awards.
The awards provided a fitting close to the opening day, celebrating the achievements of this year’s winners while capturing the energy, ambition and innovation of the exhibiting community at the Irish Furniture & Homewares Show 2026.
