Opening 2009 Homemakers Expo

17 Feb 2009

'Dream it, do it' at the 16th annual Johannesburg Homemakers Expo, which opens on Thursday, 19 - 22 February 2009 at Coca-Cola Dome, Northgate.

One of the highlights at this year's expo will be the brand new Green Living project. This feature area will take centre stage at the show with 90m² of pure environmentally friendly solutions. An interactive house, encompassing rooms such as the kitchen, bathroom, living area, bedroom and outdoor area, will show visitors how to be more eco-friendly in a practical and educational way.

Kids Roomz, which will be presented for the second year in a row, will showcase children's bedrooms for different age groups. This dedicated space will be situated on the mezzanine level and will feature seven rooms, complete with wall and floor coverings, furniture, and accessories, promising to inspire youngsters and their parents.

The Walling Options area will be a visual 3D display at Entrance 1, showcasing various solutions for walls. Ideas will range from the latest in wallpaper to old favourites such as paint techniques and cladding, not forgetting the ever popular option of tiling.

The Future of Design, which will be offered for the first time at the Johannesburg expo, will feature “design with a conscience”. Some of South Africa's leading designers will showcase their environmentally friendly designs and the display will include award-winning designs by the Greenside Design Centre.
