Design Central

Your Lounge for Design Ideas, Inspiration & Learning

Discover fresh ideas, connect with design pros and find inspiration for your next project. Design Central is a dedicated lounge at the Builders’ Show for designers, architects, builders, remodelers and other professionals who shape the look, feel and functionality of today’s homes.

Design Central offers a smaller, more intimate and informal learning experience than traditional IBS Education sessions. Drop in after walking the show floor or between education sessions to hear from design experts, explore the latest trends and ideas, exchange perspectives with peers and gain practical insights you can put to work in your projects.
