Home improvement trends
Monday, 22 August 2011

AN OPPORTUNITY to suss out the latest trends in the property market is coming up soon, with innovations for new houses and home renovation jobs to the fore at the annual Auckland HomeShow.

A full-scale interactive walk-through experience showcasing the latest developments in landscaping, materials, plants, construction and lightweight or portable buildings can be found in the Floradell Street of Houses, a cul-de-sac of relocatable houses.

Twelve leading landscapers will demonstrate new ideas, products and techniques in the Auckland Landscape Supplies Walk of Gardens, and renovations can be discussed with the experts at one-on-one sessions in Finesse Residential’s “ask the renovation experts” consulting area.

Home improvement needs will be canvassed at the Resene Home Design and Renovation seminars, presented by experts in each field and designed to offer ideas to fit a variety of budgets and home types.

Green Urban Living is a dedicated feature that provides first-hand information, and examples of a range of sustainable living choices, money saving eco-tips and organic gardening.
