WITH hard-to-resist deals and a myriad offerings, the recently concluded HomeDec exhibition in Penang was a runaway success.

Whether it was fittings and fixtures for an energy-efficient home, a lift to eliminate the hassle of climbing the stairs or essentials like good mattresses, kitchenware, lighting and air purifiers, visitors to this year’s home improvement fair were spoilt for choice.
