INTERIOR DESIGN OF THE YEAR AWARD

Fantastic interior design is about much more than simply making rooms look more stylish and attractive. It is about fulfilling the true potential of a space and enhancing our living experience.

At IDA, we are passionate about interior design and see it as an expression of creativity and potential, which transcends language barriers and speaks to everyone. Whether you specialize in classic or contemporary interior design, restoring or renovating heritage properties, or creating something completely different from anything that has been done before, we would love to see your ideas and creations.

Winning the title of IDA Interior Design of the Year is an amazing springboard to new career opportunities.
