I’m invited to speak at Decorex Cape Town this year and I get to share about two of my favourite things! You’ll find me at the Discovery Bank Home Loans DIY Studio at the CTICC, on the following days:
Date: Friday 26th June, 11:00 - 11:45
Topic: Before, After & Why: The Design Choices Behind Beautiful Spaces
What makes a space feel elevated, balanced and effortlessly beautiful? In this talk, I will explore the transformative power of contrast, proportion and texture — and how these key design principles can completely change the way a room looks and feels. Through real client before-and-after projects, I’ll unpack the thinking behind each design decision, showing how small, intentional changes can create impactful results. The session will also dive into the world of virtual interior design, offering insight into how homeowners can confidently decorate their own spaces with professional guidance and a clear creative direction.
Date: Saturday 27th June, 11:00 - 11:45
Topic: The Power of Panelling
You may have noticed wall panelling showcased on TV, Instagram, and Pinterest but feel unsure about selecting the ideal panelling for your own space or where to source these materials. In this guide, I will explore the various styles of panelling and how to determine the right style, layout, and height for your area. Panelling has been a beloved design element in homes and buildings for countless years, and it never truly goes out of fashion. It serves as a secret weapon that effortlessly enhances a room without trying too hard.
Whether you’re planning a renovation, refreshing a room on a budget, thinking about going solar or simply trying to understand what’s worth spending on and what isn’t, this is the programme to build your Decorex day around.
