Decorex Cape Town 2016 arrives in the Mother City this weekend, with a show taking place from Friday 29 April to Monday 2 May 2016. As South Africa’s leading decor, design and lifestyle exhibition that is hosted in Durban, Johannesburg and Cape Town, the show has become a highly respected fixture on the events calendar since its inception in 1994. Today, it is one of the largest trade shows of its kind, drawing huge crowds in search of cutting-edge home design trends and inspiration.
The vibrant, creative city of Cape Town has a thriving design community, with an abundance of talent in art, textiles, home decor and other design. Needless to say, this event is a fantastic way to showcase this talent.
“Cape Town has a remarkable pool of design talent and we are privileged to showcase some of the province’s leading lights at Decorex 2016. In keeping with its new theme, ‘Take it Home, Make it Home’, Decorex Cape Town promises to bring design-hungry visitors more inspired ideas than ever,” says Sian Gutstadt, portfolio director of Decorex SA.
Living up to the 2016 theme, “Take It Home, Make It Home”, this year’s event proves that modern homes are evolving all the time. Interiors of today don’t just rely on their furnishings and environment but also the way in which interiors are created. The concept of “Take It Home, Make It Home” allows visitors from all sectors (from consumers to industry professionals) to find a variety of take-home products, while also finding inspiration and ideas.
Simply put, Decorex offers everything you could ever need or want to renovate, build, decorate or restore. This event takes you from room to room, with everything from DIY decorating to kitchens, bathrooms, building materials, fabrics, furniture, crockery and must-have trend pieces that are currently heating up on local and global markets.
