Returning for its fifth year, WOW!house 2026 brings together world-class interior designers and leading international brands from around the world to create spectacular rooms and outdoor spaces. Running from 2nd June – 2nd July (Monday – Saturday, 10am – 6pm) at the Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour, London SW10 0XE, the event is widely recognised as a highlight of the global interiors calendar and a powerful platform for innovation, creativity, and collaboration across the design and build community.
CEDIA’s technology sponsorship underlines the organisation’s commitment to strengthening connections between smart home technology professionals and interior designers. Additionally, this sponsorship will raise the profile of the industry and CEDIA to high-net-worth individuals, who constitute 55% of the event's attendees. This partnership will facilitate connections between CEDIA members and the interior designers involved in the 22 room sets, supporting their technology requirements and enhancing the quality of their projects.
“WOW!house represents the very best of design excellence and cross-disciplinary collaboration,” explains Wendy Griffiths, Senior Vice President Membership & Global Development for Operations at CEDIA. “As smart home technology continues to play an increasingly integral role in high-end residential projects, this partnership reflects CEDIA’s ongoing commitment to working closely with the design community and supporting environments where creativity, craftsmanship, and innovation thrive.”
Throughout WOW!house 2026, CEDIA will champion the role of professionally designed and installed smart home technology in enhancing the functionality, comfort, and sustainability of residential spaces. The sponsorship also aligns with CEDIA’s broader mission to elevate standards across the industry and to promote best practice through education and collaboration.
