The partnership highlights SAHO’s support of the country’s home, design and décor industry, and investment
into the Institute’s ethos of establishing, promoting and maintaining expertise, professionalism, sound business
practice and high standards throughout the industry.

“We are thrilled with our partnership with the IID, and see the Institute as the watchdog of the interior industry, ensuring
that home owners are connected with service providers who have sound business ethics, and the necessary qualifications
to fully provide the services advertised,” says SA Home Owner editor, Kerry Hayes.

SAHO will provide professionals from IID a platform to talk to home owners and share information, ideas and inspiration. Recently accredited by the South African Qualifications Authority as the official professional body representing the interior design industry in South Africa, IID is a member of the International Federation of Interior Architects/Designers (IFI)

Stefan Blignaut, media and financial manager of the IID, concludes: “We are pumped that SA Home Owner
is our first official media partner – this is new ground that we are breaking.”
