David Muirheard to decorate the ‘Decorex Designer Spotlight’ stand at Decorex Joburg

Hot on the heels of his sensational makeover of the old Grace hotel in Rosebank – it’s now the super chic 54 on Bath boutique hotel – David Muirhead has been invited to decorate the prestigious ‘Decorex Designer Spotlight’ stand at Decorex Joburg in August this year.

Renowned for his sleekly glamorous interiors, his love of art and antiques, and his deep affinity for the city of Jozi, Muirhead is clearly carving a very elegant niche for himself in the world of interior design. Each year the Decorex décor committee, invites a decorator to create a décor installation at the entrance to Hall 5. Muirhead says he is humbled to have been given the honour this year.

Decorex Joburg takes place at Gallagher Convention Centre from 8 to 12 August. It is Africa’s largest décor, design and lifestyle exhibition and with more than 700 exhibitors in 5 halls showcases the latest in paints and product, fabrics and finishes, bathrooms and kitchens – and everything else in between.

Muirhead’s stand, which he says will inspire a feeling of pared down luxury, is certain to include some of his signature touches such as antiques and art. A master at creating luxurious, richly layered spaces, Muirhead says that he’s inspired by “almost anything” – the crazy energy and wonderful diversity of Johannesburg, French architecture, modernism, the synergy between old and new.

“I’ll never create something that’s clinical or minimalist though, and I always look at comfort before aesthetics,” he adds.
