Wellington Better Home & Living Show Largest Ever

Wellington Better Home & Living Show Largest Ever

Jade Promotions, the largest provider of home, garden and lifestyle shows in New Zealand, announced today that the upcoming Wellington Better Home & Living Show is its largest yet. The event will see a record 200 exhibitors gather at the Westpac Stadium from 10-12 April to show case the latest innovations, trends and products in home improvement.

Director, Daniel Joll says, “Our Better Homes section in particular has really grown, but across the whole show Wellingtonians can look forward to more variety and ideas than ever before, along with fantastic show-only bargains that they won’t find anywhere else. It’s also the only home show in Wellington this autumn and winter, so it really is a must-see event for anyone planning to build or renovate.”

“Kitchens, bathrooms, solar solutions, indoor and outdoor furniture, roofing, plants, awnings and canopies and beekeeping will be just some of the products and services on display throughout the Show’s five eco-sections. Visitors to the Discovery Expeditions stand in the ‘Better Bodies & Minds’ section can even go in the draw to win a week’s cruise in Fiordland, valued at over $5,000!”, said Mr. Joll.

Highlights include a sustainable interior design feature, starring AvantGarde Interiors and Debra DeLorenzo from One Ranfurly Ltd. The display from AvantGarde Interiors will feature a dining room/lounge setting which blends contemporary and traditional styles. The stand-out pieces will be a funky red couch and a rustic dining table, with paint and wallpaper to match.

The Bio Dynamic Farming and Gardening Association will be advising gardeners on how to manage their soil in a sustainable and healthy way. Their stand will be an autumn snap shot of Anne Dodds’ incredible garden on the Wairarapa coast, which is open to the public. The organic and bio dynamic gardening guru will be onsite most of the three days to answer questions.

Weltec Landscape Construction students will also be creating a sustainable landscape display garden. Inspired by New Zealand’s natural habitat, it will include a vertical hanging garden, a cave with imitation glow worms and mini putt, where one hole is a 3½-metre long tuatara.

The Wellington Floral Art Society’s ‘Designer of the Year’ is a crowd favourite and attracts entries from the region’s top floral designers. It’s back this year, with the theme ‘Colour as You Like It’. Over the three days, industry experts will also give free, comprehensive seminars covering kitchens, bathrooms, restoration, gardening, solar solutions and choosing colour.
