Decorex Cape Town has long held its place as South Africa's foremost design and decor hub, and this reputation was further enhanced by the 'Home of Great Ideas' exhibition, a show designed to creatively promote and showcase the latest lifestyle and design ideas.
The Home of Great Ideas exhibition covered a diverse range of design schools, addressing everything from furniture and fabrics to bathroom decor, kitchen projects and all-purpose home DIY. The show was graced by a number of famous designers who showcased their latest ideas and projects.
The show was aptly named in that it wasn't just a marketplace for products but a repository of design and DIY ideas that were there to be shared and enjoyed by all.
