An element of design For a sensory voyage of the area’s design experts, Decorex Durban welcomes the incredible new elements’ feature which incorporates Design and Textile Elements, Natural Elements and Lighting Elements.

Tickle me pink Four high-end designers – MSQ Interior Design, Eykon, Dreamery and Jennifer Jones Interiors – will majestically transform a basic shed into a modern She Shed, working off the Man Cave trend of previous years. The designers will be joined by four local celebrities, including Ukhozi FM radio presenter, Vukile Mckenzie; stars in the popular film ‘Keeping up with the Kandasamy’s’ Jailoshini Naidoo and Mariam Bassa; as well as famed actress and television presenter, Kajal Bagwandeen. Each of the four feminine spaces will be re-purposed for hobbies and relaxation of the individual with a touch of the pink spectrum incorporated to reflect this year’s message: breast cancer awareness. Decorex has teamed up with NGO, PinkDrive, to raise funds and awareness for this meaningful initiative. The growing years Parents will relish a walk through the latest Rooms to Grow feature comprising four separate installations – baby room, toddler room, tween room and adolescent room. Chelle Mae’s Baby Lab, Clever Little Monkey, Duett Kids’ Furniture and Pushé Concept Line are the four age-influencing designers who will carefully craft these transitional spaces.
