Some INTERIORS UK exhibitors have gone the extra mile this year to make their stands stand out. Not content with the standard bowl of peanuts and a swatch book, these exhibitors have turned their stands in to styled sets full of interesting props that are inspiring in themselves - as well as great places to showcase top products...
  
Head to C10 in Hall 1 to check out Ashley Manor Upholstery's circus-style stand. The firm is launching a colourful collection of plush velvet fabrics called JAMBOREE, and has labelled swatches with fun circus fonts, as well as sourced vintage props to conjure up a circus look...
  
  
We love Frank Hudson's superb stand (G6, Hall 1), too. Laid out like an old-fashioned train, the stand is divided in to carriages - both inside and out - and feels a bit like the Orient Express.
  
Vintage travel posters, stacks of old leather suitcases and faded antique maps create the mood - there's even a station clock on the outside of the stand, and a carriage labelled 'Annabel'!
  
  
Visitors to the Sherry Designs stand found themselves in an Irish pub, complete with vintage Guiness postes, barrels and bar stools. The team on the stand even had special coasters to give out instead of business cards!
  
Gareth Sherry, Co-owner, told INTERIORS UK: "We've recently re-energised our brand, so this is a great place to showcase our new look. We decided to bring a little slice of Ireland to INTERIORS UK this year - the Guinness taps don't actually work, but we've brought some cans of Guinness instead."
  
Laslty, proving that even smaller stands can be super-stylish, Birds and Words (G13, Hall 3) made a compact space look fabulous with a retro armchair and lamp, antique storage crates and lovely finishing touches...
  
Imaginative stands can be found in every hall of INTERIORS UK this year - just walking through the aisles is an inspiring experience.
