Themed ‘Take it Home, Make it Home’, Africa’s largest décor, design and lifestyle exhibition will once again be the destination of choice for those intent on turning house into home. With no fewer than seven halls showcasing the latest décor and design trends, products and services, Decorex Joburg 2016 is on from 5 to 9 August, at the Gallagher Convention Centre.

Running alongside the show will be the perennially popular 100% Design South Africa. Now in its third year, this draw-card exhibition provides a unique platform for leading local and international design names to present a carefully curated mix of top-drawer products catering to the residential, hospitality and office interior décor and design industries and, like Decorex itself, is a highlight on the design calendar.

With many new features on the cards at this show, Decorex Joburg is once again pushing the envelope on the hottest new trends. Stands making their debut at the 2016 show include the African-inspired Trend Pods, as well as the Top Man showcase, which is sponsored by The Tile Gallery and puts a celebrity spin on masculine decorating. The Considered Home, in association with Goodwood Co and presented by Decorex SA, showcases the on-trend approach to modern-day living, while, with the highly interactive Builders DIY Theatre and the Makers Corner hosted by the SA Maker Collective, visitors are encouraged to roll up their sleeves and give free rein to their creative inclinations, upgrading from buyer to maker in the process.

Of course, there are also countless opportunities for foodies to get their fill of the fun with delicious culinary experiences and endless dining options, from casual cafés and full service restaurants to the Pantry, with its engaging market atmosphere and take-home gourmet goodies.

Decorex Joburg is open from 10am to 6pm daily. Ticket prices are R110 for adults, R90 for pensioners and students, R80 for trade, and R20 for children.
