There’s no place like home. It’s your pride and joy, the place that evokes a sigh of relief when you walk through the door, and where your heart is.
Find inspiration, advice, great new ideas, and thousands of products. The Expo is packed with specials, deals, competitions, and features you’ll find nowhere else. It’s the perfect opportunity to browse, compare, and purchase all the things you need for your home and garden projects.
2017 sees the launch of the Blue Label Wing, a brand new and stirring exhibition space. No more up and down the stairs to visit your favourite stands. Now the entire show is on one level.

See three South African graffiti artists make their artwork come to life. Follow them as they complete the project at the show.
BOOK NOOKS
Bookworm or not, every one of us enjoys a great cookbook, autobiography or a bit more about your heritage at some point or another. If not the latter and you only read the occasional Roald Dahl to your kids, it still locks you into the category of reading.
This year we create a nook for every book…six themed nooks to inspire you to create your own in your home!
Book Nooks sponsored by Bargain Books. Look out for great Book competitions and wins!
TAKE IT OUTSIDE
In South Africa we are spoiled with breath-taking landscapes and beautiful weather; love for the outdoors is second nature to us. Take it Outside, a budding new addition to the show, embraces this love for our gardens, patio’s, outdoor furniture and of course new and interesting things to enhance your outdoor living area.
BUILDERS DIY THEATRE & INTERACTIVE ZONE
Taking things to the next DIY level? Absolutely! Find your inspiration at the theatre where DIY celebrities give you great advice and tips. Move over to the Interactive Zone and workshop some of Fired Earth’s fantastic products.

Are you a Foodlum*? Then don’t miss the arcade for foodlums!
*“Grocery shoppers that shop like doomsday preppers, having an overstuffed cart or dragging 2 carts around the store.” – Urban Dictionary

INDUSTRIAL DESIGN CHALLENGE
Hosted in collab with the University of Johannesburg and Festool.
These days we like it fast and we like it mobile. In a time where you have how-to tutorials at your fingertips, we need how-to gear to also be just as easy, light and mobile. A strong battery-operated household drill is an absolute must!
The industrial designers base their designs around the challenge of designing a compact and easy to use household drill. Come see how they showcase their ingenious ideas for a functional yet beautiful must-have powertool.
LIVE BY DESIGN
We all love to be surrounded by beautiful things. The Live by Design feature contains all those must-have items your home wants in a unique and inspiring space.
