Home is the very place where we laugh, we cry, we grow up and raise our children so it’s no wonder that we all want to tell our stories through our décor and designs, mimicking the past, present and future days between our four walls.
The 2018 Johannesburg HOMEMAKERS Expo will take great strides in bringing a thrilling variety of features and exhibitions, sure to tantalise every imaginable taste.
Show highlights will include:
