Decorex 2015 – my favourites
To me, this year’s Decorex was all about lights, textiles and wood and all I can say is WOW!! The show really had a lot to offer and the 100% Design South African section did not seize to amaze. Colours that are trending right now is oceanic blues, dusty yellows, rosy pinks and a gorgeous blue grey. Plascon has an amazing new palette for every trendy colour, see more trends here. The Plascon colour of the year 2016 is Atlantic Beach B5-B1-1. Visit the Plascon Space Showroom for expert advise on colour and products.

Plascon Spaces Showroom
So you are redecorating and you would love to add some colour or simply change what you currently have? Plascon has a service to help you choose wisely with the help of their in-house experts and it’s FREE!!! I tested them out when designing the new baby room.

I am also one of those that like to dab my paintbrush into the lighter part of the colour card but I have always adored dark walls in a room.

Decorex Johannesburg 2013
I must admit, I do not frequent the Decorex expo as much as I used to. I became a bit bored with what was on offer, and seeing the same people year after year. I was pleasantly surprised this year. So many new designers, products and ideas…it was really a breath of fresh air. I always go on the trade days or during the week as I just can’t stand the crowds over weekends, and you do get to see a bit more if you don’t have to peek over people’s shoulders. The expo mainly targets “grown-up” décor and design, but the little ones were represented by amazing companies. My favourite stand was the MNet Cares &…
