The iDs’ Choice Awards 2026 successfully concluded as part of the prestigious My Favourite International Design Award (MFID) 2026 Award Ceremony, held at the Sunway Putra Hotel Ballroom in Kuala Lumpur.
Recognised as one of the most meaningful recognitions within the interior design community, the iDs’ Choice Awards honour brands that have earned the trust and endorsement of professional interior designers. Unlike conventional product awards determined by commercial panels, the iDs’ Choice Awards are nominated and voted by practising interior designers, reflecting the real preferences and professional choices made within the industry.
This unique recognition highlights brands that designers genuinely rely on in their projects — from materials and appliances to furniture and lighting solutions. The 2026 edition welcomed the participation of hundreds of designers, industry leaders and brand representatives, making it one of the most anticipated segments of the MFID Award Ceremony.

A Recognition From Designers, For Designers
What distinguishes the iDs’ Choice Awards is its strong foundation within the professional design community. The winners are not selected through marketing campaigns or consumer polls, but through the collective recognition of interior designers who actively specify and work with these brands in real projects.
This makes the award a reflection of practical trust, performance reliability and design compatibility within professional design practice. During the award presentation, the audience also expressed appreciation for the designers who participated in the nomination and voting process. Their contributions ensure that the awards remain credible, relevant and closely aligned with the realities of the design industry.
Celebrating Industry Collaboration
The iDs’ Choice Awards also highlight the strong collaboration between designers, manufacturers and brands within the home and interior design ecosystem. By recognising the brands that designers consistently trust and recommend, the awards strengthen the relationship between design professionals and industry partners, encouraging further innovation and excellence.
