If you love decorating...
• Head through the Grand Arches into four bespoke-styled room sets (the Grand Interiors), which come courtesy of Caxton Magazines. The outdoor living room will showcase the sophisticated elegance of renowned fabric house the Silk & Cotton Co., whereas the jaunty kid’s room is the work of Sandton-based children’s fabric, furniture and decor specialist Scarlett Fine. Indigo Interior Design’s Tiggs Crozet will put together a unique bedroom that, despite using exclusively local products, will have a strong international flavour. And, finally, DionWired, the show’s headline sponsor, will showcase its hi-tech savvy with a room display featuring so many gizmos and gadgets that techno geeks may go into meltdown.
• Pay a visit to the Grand Theatre, DionWired’s interactive space, where you can hear first-hand how celebs and experts liven up their living spaces. Set a reminder to catch discussions and demos by the likes of top-notch gardener Tanya Visser, radio darling Sureshnie Rider and floral designer Jill Manson. Become the hostess with the edge by learning how to dress a table beautifully thanks to an array of dazzling displays put together by Garden and Home magazine.
• Take a turn by the Bathrooms Area if the thought of a soak in the tub turns you on. Check out the latest in bathroom attire, such as futuristic design trends and state-of-the-art fittings and fixtures, all of which will have you planning your own home spa.
