Decorex Joburg turns a blissful 20

This year marks the 20th birthday of Africa’s foremost decor, design and lifestyle exhibition, Decorex Joburg. It takes place from Wednesday 7 to Sunday 11 August at Gallagher Estate in Midrand and VISI is gave away three double tickets to three lucky readers to further spread the birthday cheer!

All the stops have been pulled in celebration of this special 20th Decorex Joburg show, and with “Bliss” being the theme, visitors can look forward to being delighted by the latest in interior design, kitchen and bathroom trends, as well as new technology and fabulous ideas to spruce up the garden.

Sian Steyn, general manager of events and exhibitions at Decorex South Africa, says the emphasis this year is on soulful, handmade designs, without all the fussy bits, simply simple and with a return to quality, bespoke objects and one-off pieces.

More to look forward to at the show:

  • Tessa Proudfoot, the interior designer who designed and curated the popular Decorex Designer Spotlight Installation, wows again with another special fabric collection for St Leger & Viney.
  • Don’t miss the colour forecast for 2013, “Balance”, by Decorex sponsor Plascon Paints. Nothing like the right colour choice and tips from the experts to retune those tired old home hues.
  • While we’re talking forecasting, if you are wondering where interior design is heading in the next year, don’t miss Dave Nemeth’s complimentary trend report on Wednesday 7 August. 
  • Also look out for all sorts of original objects for the home, including the Duwel floor pouffes and benches as well as a contemporary take on the beloved riempies chair, now sporting funky webbing tape.
