SA Décor & Design Buyers’ Guide 2026: South Africa’s Leading Design Resource

For 28 years, the SA Décor & Design Buyers’ Guide has served as one of South Africa’s leading design resources, connecting readers with the brands, products, services, and creative professionals shaping contemporary living. Published annually, the Guide brings together the very best in décor, design, architecture, lifestyle, and home improvement, offering a trusted source of inspiration and discovery for homeowners, designers, architects, decorators, specifiers, and industry professionals alike.

Alongside our website, digital platforms, and growing social media community, the Buyers’ Guide continues to showcase the ideas, innovations, and expertise driving the industry forward. More than a directory, it is a celebration of the people, projects, and products that continue to elevate South African design.

Within these pages, readers will discover a rich collection of inspiring interiors, global design showcases, emerging trends, product launches, and expert insights. This year’s edition explores everything from contemporary colour trends and luxury living to craftsmanship, material innovation, and the evolving ways we experience our homes. It is a reflection of an industry that continues to evolve while remaining deeply connected to creativity, quality, and thoughtful design.

Our cover image, generously provided by Roche Bobois, captures a distinctly contemporary approach to luxury living – one that balances sophistication with comfort, craftsmanship with personality, and elegance with everyday practicality.

Readers will also have the opportunity to engage directly with many of the brands featured throughout the Guide. This year, one fortunate winner will receive a spectacular Bed & Bath Makeover valued at R70,000, including a luxurious bed set from Sealy and beautifully designed sanitaryware from Duravit.

Producing a publication of this scale is always a collaborative achievement. We extend our sincere gratitude to our sponsors, Samsung, @home, Casarredo, and The Lighting Warehouse, together with Sealy and Duravit, for their generous support. We also thank our advertisers, contributors, media partners, suppliers, and industry professionals whose continued trust and collaboration make this publication possible.

Most importantly, we thank our readers. Your passion for great design continues to inspire us to celebrate creativity, champion innovation, and showcase excellence across every aspect of the industry.
