Spanning 8,000 square meters and featuring over 100 exhibitors, the event offers a hands-on experience for anyone planning a renovation, building a new home, or simply looking to upgrade their culinary game.

Function Meets Comfort

At this year’s show, the "kitchen of the future" isn’t just for display; it’s fully operational. Visitors can experience firsthand how modern technology makes cooking healthier and more intuitive.

From the precision of steam baking and intelligent temperature control to the efficiency of meal-prep-friendly appliances, the focus is on how innovation enhances the joy of cooking rather than complicating it.

Inspiring Interiors and Smart Spaces

The 2026 design trends reflect a shift toward a slower, more mindful lifestyle. Expect to see natural materials, tactile surfaces, and warm earth tones that transform the kitchen into a cozy sanctuary.

Design highlights include subtle contrasts — such as the interplay between oak and steel—alongside Scandinavian minimalism infused with French elegance. Sensual glass surfaces and the sophisticated return of patterned tiles signal that the kitchen is now a primary living area.

To create a sense of seamless harmony, living spaces are merging. Dining tables integrated into kitchen islands are becoming social hubs, while hidden pantries and clever storage solutions maintain a sense of calm and order.

Trends for 2026 lean into character-driven choices, like the timeless combination of blue and brown or bold architectural frames, complemented by textiles and warm lighting that blur the lines between the kitchen and the living room.

A Culinary Journey on the Miele Main Stage

The event’s stage program offers a true gastronomic world tour. Highlights include the spicy aromas of Middle Eastern cuisine — featuring a steaming Harira soup  — and practical sessions on elevating the everyday lunchbox with nutritious, time-saving meals.

Pro tips for bringing fine-dining techniques into the home kitchen will be shared alongside demonstrations on health-conscious desserts and nostalgic family recipes.

Cinematic Designs: A Unique Creative Competition

One of the most anticipated additions this year is a design competition that challenged creators to look beyond traditional layouts. Designers were asked to translate the atmosphere of iconic films into physical spaces using light, material, and mood.

The winning entries bring the worlds of Pirates of the Caribbean, the mystery of Stranger Things, the tense luxury of The White Lotus, and the surrealism of Alice in Wonderland to life. These functional yet spectacular installations prove that a kitchen can be a powerful medium for storytelling.

Spotlight on Local Talent

New for 2025 is the "Hello Magyar Design!" program. This initiative showcases two specially curated interiors featuring the work of Hungarian designers.

From handcrafted dining tables and ceramics to bespoke lighting and textiles, these displays offer inspiration on how to personalize your dining and kitchen areas with high-quality local craftsmanship.

Prizes and Professional Advice

Beyond the inspiration, visitors have the chance to win prizes valued at 2.5 million HUF, including steam ovens, coffee machines, built-in steamers, refrigerators, and cordless vacuums.

For those seeking practical help, the popular free kitchen planning service returns this year. It is highly recommended to book an appointment in advance via the website to secure a consultation.
