The art of living and the enhancement of interior spaces come to the heart of Vienne. From Friday 9 to Sunday 11 October 2026, the Parc des expositions de Poitiers hosts the new edition of the Salon Maison & créations, a privileged event to rethink your home with elegance. This regional event has established itself as an essential showcase for homeowners wishing to transform their living space into a unique area, harmoniously combining modern comfort and the nobility of traditional materials.
The Parc des expositions de Poitiers, a major hub of attraction in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, offers a modern infrastructure perfectly suited to hosting this event. By welcoming visitors from all over the Vienne department and neighbouring territories, the event confirms the vitality of the home, decoration, and arts and crafts sectors. For three days, this venue becomes the preferred meeting point between consumers in search of authenticity and passionate creators capable of bringing their most ambitious projects to life.
An immersion into the heart of interior design
The Salon Maison & créations transcends a simple technical exhibition to become a true source of inspiration for aesthetes. Free admission to the event allows everyone to wander freely in search of fresh ideas to re-enchant their daily lives. This free access reflects a desire to open the doors of interior creation to as many people as possible, thereby fostering direct exchanges and the transmission of passions between professionals and the general public.
On-site, personalised support is in the spotlight. The expert advice of an interior designer makes it possible to consider the acquisition of pieces, whether character furniture, original paintings, or sculptural plant compositions. This expert presence is a rare opportunity for visitors, who can benefit from a professional perspective on the layout of their own home, light management, or the choice of an ideal colour palette. Whether modernising a living room or completely restructuring a master suite, the suggestions provided guide the buyer towards coherent and durable aesthetic choices.
Outdoor art enthusiasts will also appreciate the demonstrations and advice dedicated to garden decoration. Outdoor spaces are now perceived as a natural extension of indoor living rooms, requiring special care in their design. Suggestions for integrating plant structures, durable outdoor furniture, and artistic elements into the heart of gardens will be shared by the specialists present, highlighting the importance of visual continuity between the interior and exterior of a home.
The dynamics of prestige renovation and bespoke design
Today, the home is no longer limited to a simple functional use. It reflects the personality of its occupants and is envisioned as a true haven of well-being. In this context, the search for unique pieces and the use of bespoke designs are experiencing unprecedented popularity. The Salon Maison & créations responds precisely to this quest for singularity by highlighting customisable solutions far removed from the industrial standards of mass retail.
Calling on an artisan or an interior designer allows you to enhance your real estate assets while ensuring impeccable manufacturing quality. The professionals present at the show provide solutions adapted to current housing issues, combining ancestral techniques and contemporary aesthetic requirements. This subtle balance guarantees long-lasting creations that will span generations without losing any of their beauty.
Thirty artisans with unique expertise
The excellence of arts and crafts
The mastery of craftsmanship is asserted through the rigorous presence of thirty carefully selected art exhibitors. Their disciplines illustrate the richness of contemporary creative heritage, offering unique or bespoke pieces. The selection of these exhibitors guarantees a high level of excellence, highlighting the perfect gesture, patience, and respect for materials that characterise these fascinating professions.
Upholstery, the meticulous restoration of paintings and art objects combine with the noble work of leather and wood. Restorers of pictorial works and antique furniture play a key role in safeguarding our material heritage, giving new life to pieces steeped in history so that they can once again fit into our modern interiors. Woodworking, whether expressed through fine cabinetmaking or woodturning, reveals the nobility of local and exotic species.
Lighting creation, marquetry, as well as fine jewellery, scented candles, and artisanal soaps complete this global offering dedicated to the refinement of the home. Each object presented tells a story, that of its genesis in the secrecy of the workshop. Lighting creations transcend their function of illumination to stand as true luminous sculptures that structure space, while marquetry brings that touch of delicacy and technical precision specific to working with precious materials. Olfactory details and artisan-made cosmetics contribute to creating a warm and soothing atmosphere within the home.
The art of entertaining and celebrating at home
Because the home is also the stage for shared moments, the show integrates high-end solutions for organising private receptions. Two recognised event professionals offer their expertise to orchestrate bespoke festivities. This opening towards home events is part of a fundamental trend where hosts seek to receive their loved ones, partners, or collaborators in the protective intimacy of their own home, while benefiting from professional-standard services.
From the rental of refined reception equipment to logistical organisation expertise, these specialists make it possible to design memorable receptions within a freshly reinvented living environment. Whether defining the temporary furniture most suited to the available space, coordinating the layout of garden marquees, or choosing exceptional tableware in keeping with the theme of a celebration, their support relieves owners of any technical constraints. Visitors will thus be able to discover how to transform, for an evening or a weekend, their daily environment into a prestigious festive venue.
The revival of themed shows and proximity
The success of an event such as the Salon Maison & créations relies on its ability to recreate physical connections in a highly digitalised era. While the Internet offers a wealth of images and ideas, nothing replaces physical contact with materials, direct observation of the nuances of a patina, or a passionate verbal exchange with a creator. It is in this dialogue that the relationships of trust essential to carrying out complex design projects are forged.
Furthermore, the emphasis on local and regional craftsmanship contributes to a circular economy dynamic and the promotion of short supply chains. Supporting creators from Vienne and neighbouring departments means preserving rare skills often passed down from generation to generation, while ensuring local after-sales service and optimal responsiveness for project follow-up.
