“Design Your Life” – DECOREX DURBAN 2014
Decorex SA will be heading to Durban this March (20 – 23), so keep your diaries free Durbanite’s! We are giving away 5 x double tickets to 5 x Decorex SA fans! To enter all you need to do is comment below telling us your worst décor idea / disaster! *T & C’s apply.
——–
2014 is the year that design and decor moves away from sweeping trend dictates and focuses on the needs and styles of the individual. Being confident in our own design choices is trending across the globe and people are feeling empowered to make their own style statement in all aspects of home decor.
This new, modern era has resulted in a more practical approach to life and we at Decorex SA love the fact that design and decorating companies and manufacturers are now translating this movement into objects and concepts which adapt to individual style.
Decorex SA exhibitions in 2014 will be all about voicing your individuality and creating your own space, inspiring you to ‘Design Your Life’.
It’s easy to be overwhelmed by all the options that surround us. Daily, we are confronted by new trend reports; bombarded with the launch of brands and products – each one declaring itself the must-have item of the season.
But where are you, the individual, in all of this? What about your personal taste and style?
What is trending is the fact that you, the individual, are the most important feature of your home and the furniture and finishes you choose enhance your own lifestyle and reflect your style persona.
It is the end of the era where one-dimensional concepts of design dictate that you should live in a home that is, for example, either minimalist or baroque. No-one is driving your style but you and how you choose to live has become an entirely personal choice.
This new, modern era has resulted in a more realistic approach to life and we love the fact that designers all over the world are translating this movement into objects and concepts that target the individual.
Decorex SA exhibitions in 2014 will all about you and inspiring you to Design Your Life. With close to 1200 exhibitors, Africa’s largest décor, design and lifestyle portfolio covers every aspect of your lifestyle with widest possible choice of décor and design options.
We invite you to explore your own creativity, to find the style and the lifestyle of your dreams, and to make the choices that will create the home that you’ve always wanted.
Design Your Life with Decorex SA in 2014.

Milky Chance recently announced their long-awaited return to South Africa with their “Living In A Haze” tour in February 2024 which will see them perform in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban. The German Duo are excited to confirm that both Neon Dreams and Sean Koch will join them as support acts on the line-up for their shows in Cape Town (15 February) and Johannesburg (17 February), and Neon Dreams will also join Milky Chance in Durban (18 February) as support act.
Canadian duo Neon Dreams are no strangers to the South African music scene. Their 2019 single “Life Without Fantasies” reached the top of the South African viral charts amassing millions of streams in 2021 during the lockdown. The band connected with tens of thousands of fans online which led to their first sold out headline tour. They have continued to cement themselves in the industry here, having toured the country a number of times over the past few years and return in February 2024 to share the stage with Milky Chance in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban.
Sean Koch is one of SA’s most-loved indie-folk artists who brings a mixed bag of African and western, influence alongside messages of home, a connection to nature, the ocean and the people around him; to his storytelling, feel-good music. While rooted in his flowing-folk style, his music is diverse. From dance infused songs like ‘Lift You Up’ the standout single from his collection (including the Double MZK & G DOM remix) to the dreamier songs like ‘Feel the Energy’ that carry deeper messages of connection to the natural world and the people that surround us. There is something for everyone in Sean’s catalogue.

My Worst Decor idea was deciding that I would build our extension onto our house which I have never finished off the interrior and its now just bare brick and simple roofing to keep weather/water out

I really need tickets to Decorex! We are in the process of buying our apartment and every time we shopping, we end up buying all sorts of rubbish and none of it matches, so we have this completely non-styled apartment which needs a complete make over.

Well, I was 7 at the time so my actions should be forgiven… But I decided to wallpaper my walls with He-Man comics I had been collecting from my mothers ‘YOU MAGS’.
Obviously without consulting her or my dad… After running out of prestik I moved onto Pritt Glue, and then Woodglue… Looked great until I turned 10 and decided It was time for a change, and my parents realized just how much of a job the change was going to be.

Good decor idea – painting the house. Worst decor idea – painting house with my dog (with a big wagging tail = paint everywhere).

My Mother in-law would absolutely LOVE tickets for this show. And Im sure she would love to drag her Husbank along with her (much to his dismay). This would be an awesome gift. She is absolutely obsessed with designing her home and every time I go to her house something has changed (a bit of OCD too 😉 ) Please please

I once decided it was a good idea to paint my walls a dark hunters green….needless to say that when I realized that it was not a good idea, it cost a lot of time and many coats of paint to try and rectify it. 🙁

My epic fail in terms of decor was putting up some wall art with the incorrect glue…it did NOT turn out well. 🙁

Many years ago a friend of mine purchased a few genuine terracotta plant pots. This was before the faux terracotta products flooded the market. Her husband thought he would surprise her + carefully painted them white! What a shock she got when she saw them!!

my worst decorating disaster, was not measuring the room properly before buying a new couch !

I bought blue paint that was way to dark compared to the baby blue that I had intended,I had used the color chart but went bold instead of pastel !Definitely learnt my lesson and how to use the color chart.Needless to say I turned the room around,as I did not have more money to paint again, by working with the color I had and added lots of white accessories and painting a willowy grey and white tree as a feature wall.

When painting stripes was fashionable, I got a Bee in my Bonnet to paint thick vertical lines on all four walls in my bedroom – in shades of pink! Needless to say, it cost me a fortune… and didnt stay on my walls for very long either!
