recap html: <p>During Brussels Interior Event at Trademart Brussels in late September 2025, more than 350 brands across furniture, home décor, lighting, textiles, kitchenware, and lifestyle welcomed professional visitors for three days of sourcing and inspiration. Organiser interview material highlights that the event is unique because it takes place inside Europe’s largest B2B buying center with permanent showrooms, allowing buyers to discover trends and build connections efficiently. The 2025 edition also celebrated renovated Home & Living zones and featured guest exhibitors alongside permanent brands, with expectations of over 500 visitors, marking a steady increase compared with previous years.</p>

• Renovated Home & Living zones
• Guest exhibitors alongside permanent brands

exhibitor roi: Press and organiser narratives highlight that exhibitors benefit from meeting a targeted group of professional buyers over three days, using permanent showrooms to show full ranges without building temporary stands. The addition of pop-up brands and retail lectures increases the chance of attracting both existing customers and new prospects looking for inspiration and new collections; however, specific lead or sales figures were not published, so ROI is expressed qualitatively rather than in numeric form.

impact summary: Brussels Interior Event has evolved into a concentrated three-day buying and inspiration moment for home & living retailers from Belgium and neighboring markets. In both 2024 and 2025, more than 400 brands in kitchen, dining, design, gifts, and decoration participated, giving buyers a dense overview of new-season collections. The event’s timing in the last week of August positions it as a pre-season sourcing point where retailers can make assortment decisions before autumn, while the permanent-showroom format at Trademart reduces setup and travel friction for exhibitors.

audience quality: Audience descriptions for Brussels Interior Event emphasize professional home & living retailers, interior and lifestyle buyers, and store owners with valid VAT numbers, rather than general consumers. Visitors typically include buyers for kitchenware, tableware, décor, and design concepts who come to compare collections, discover trends, and meet suppliers in a focused setting; this creates a concentrated, trade-only audience with high relevance to exhibiting brands.

transport

parking: Visitors driving to Brussels Interior Event can use Parking P1 near Trademart and Atomium, generally charged at around €10 per day. Parking is not unlimited and may fill quickly during busy retail event weekends, so early arrival is advisable for those relying on car access.

ride hail: Brussels has licensed taxis and app-based ride services; costs from central Brussels to Heysel/Trademart vary with traffic but are typically higher than metro fares and best used for early-morning or late-evening commutes when public transport is less frequent.

hotel to venue: Hotels in the Heysel/Laeken area are within walking distance of Trademart; central-Brussels hotels use metro 1 and 6 or tram/bus combinations to reach Heysel in roughly 15–30 minutes. Visitors should plan for extra time during peak commuter hours.

public transit: STIB/MIVB operates metro, tram, and bus services; access to Atomiumsquare 1 is primarily via metro line 6 to Heysel, trams (e.g. 7/62), and buses such as 84/88. Contactless bank-card payment is supported on STIB vehicles and stations, simplifying travel for international visitors.

airport to venue: From Brussels Airport (Zaventem), many visitors take the airport train to Brussels Nord/Central/Midi and then metro line 6 to Heysel, or use airport buses and taxis; typical one-way public transit fares are around €3–€10 depending on ticket type, while taxi fares are significantly higher but provide door-to-door service.
