Decorex International:: Round Up

If TENT LONDON is the quirky persona of the interiors season and 100% Design is the 'on-tend' fashionista then DECOREX INTERNATIONAL is the 'Lady of the Manor'. DECOREX is an annual trip for me and I try to attend every year. This year though, DECOREX really did surprise me!

I really loved the CHERISHED PLACES THEME this year. 
It gave the show a nice, inspiring feel and it felt more relaxed and less 'stuffy' then pervious years.

Ahoy Sailor - Loved the entrance

VERDICT:

I was very pleasantly surprised by the cherished place of DECOREX this year! It was fresh, more relaxed and less 'stuffy' than previous years. The show also injected some new, young designers which helped the show to feel much warmer which I really liked. I can't wait to see what's next for the 2012 show!
