Home Inspiration from your Backyard to your Bathroom

For the latest in building, renovation, kitchens, bathrooms and outdoor living, don’t miss the Herald Sun Home Show & Garden Expo. Taking place at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre from Thursday 19 - Sunday 22 August.

New attraction, the ‘Centre Plumbing Plus Bathroom Zone’ will feature four product display walls showcasing the latest in bathroom products from showerheads, basins, taps, vanities and loos. Adjacent to this will be ‘Bathrooms on View’ featuring three winning life-size designer bathrooms as voted from our industry competition.
To inspire those with garden and landscaping projects on their ‘to-do’ list, will be four ‘Miniature Landscape Gardens’. These will be further complemented by a new Show feature ‘Floral Inspirations’, presented by visual merchandising students.

Against a backdrop of a home inspiration, the ‘Home & Living Stage’ becomes the discussion hub for the emerging trends in backyard, living room, kitchen and rooftop gardens. Hear free interactive presentations, covering gardens, interiors, building, renovation, going green and more.

For visitors who enjoy spending their evenings in the kitchen, they’ll be inspired by the gourmet cuisines at the Wine & Dine Stage. With live gourmet cooking, food & wine tastings and general food appreciation sessions, their taste buds will be watering. There will also be the chance to WIN a Splashback valued at $2,500 courtesy of The Splashback Company.

The HIA BuildGreen Expo will run alongside the Herald Sun Home Show & Garden Expo, giving visitors two shows for the price of one.
