Meet Blum – sponsors of the 2026 Interior Awards
Blum has supported the Interior Awards for the past 6 years. Blum creates innovative furniture hardware solutions that combine precision engineering with timeless design. We caught up with the team to talk industry changes, what inspires them and being a valued partner to the industry.
The Interior Awards programme began in 2011. What would you say is one of the biggest changes you’ve seen in the industry over the past 15 years?
Tania Bailey: Over this time, people have become increasingly aware of the value a professional designer adds.
What really inspires you – in terms of creativity and innovation, and the role designers play?
Kate Ward: When design grows from the client’s needs and the designer’s expertise, the result is a space that feels both personal and effortlessly functional.
What makes your company a valuable partner to the industry?
Brittany Smith: The trust that our clients have in Blum has been earned through reliability. And that, in turn, has created loyal, confident customers.
