Dallas Market Center’s Lightovation: The Best Way to Source and Learn About Lighting

Designers seeking to source an abundance of unique lighting solutions for their projects don't have to wait for the biannual Euroluce to align with Milan's Salone del Mobile. An even more comprehensive and equally inspiring venue can be found closer to home twice a year. 

Dallas Market Center hosts Lightovation each January and June, concurrent with the Total Home & Gift Market for convenient sourcing of other decor categories. Lightovation encompasses 1 million square feet of permanent showrooms within the busiest open-daily design center in the country. The show features all types of interior and exterior lighting for homes and hospitality environments, both decorative options to make a statement in any style and architectural lighting incorporating the latest technologies.

The January 10-13, 2026, edition of Lightovation is the perfect opportunity to explore the show's offerings. Tuesday, January 13, includes a Design + Build Day with special programming, tours and networking for trade professionals. 

INTERIOR DESIGN magazine Editor in Chief Cindy Allen will present the keynote for Design + Build Day, which will also include a curated tour led by INTERIOR DESIGN Managing Editor Helene Oberman. METROPOLIS Editor in Chief Avi Rajagopal will also present and lead a tour, with the day culminating in a meet-and-greet reception enabling interaction with these editorial leaders as well as other designers, architects, builders, and specifiers.

New attendees may be eligible for travel support outside of this program, and local designers may also inquire about convenient VIP parking. To learn more, fill out this form: https://bit.ly/1017_IDS_LOV_2_7
