Celebrity interior designers, Colin McAllister and Justin Ryan, are coming to Abu Dhabi's Yas Mall.
The designers will be taking over Town Square in the mall for five days of room make-overs, interactive work shops and giving visitors the chance to learn how to decorate homes using the latest accessories.
The television duo, who shot to fame in the UK with their show, The Million Pound Property Experiment, will be joined by regional interior influencers, Hala Abdulla, Mthayel Ali and Mariam Yehya and Naomi D'Souze, who will be on hand to host workshops on home decor.
All sessions are free and visitors will also be in with a chance to win a business-class trip with Etihad Airways.
Shatha Al Romaithy, Marketing Manager of Yas Mall, said: "We are delighted to welcome Colin & Justin to the Middle East for the first time and to our Fashion Hits Home event at Yas Mall. This event allows us to showcase the strong range of amazing home related brands here."
The event will take place from October 3 to 7.

Real estate tokenisation project
Dubai launched the pilot phase of its real estate tokenisation project last month.
The initiative focuses on converting real estate assets into digital tokens recorded on blockchain technology and helps in streamlining the process of buying, selling and investing, the Dubai Land Department said.
Dubai’s real estate tokenisation market is projected to reach Dh60 billion ($16.33 billion) by 2033, representing 7 per cent of the emirate’s total property transactions, according to the DLD.

Hydrogen: Market potential
Hydrogen has an estimated $11 trillion market potential, according to Bank of America Securities and is expected to generate $2.5tn in direct revenues and $11tn of indirect infrastructure by 2050 as its production increases six-fold.
"We believe we are reaching the point of harnessing the element that comprises 90 per cent of the universe, effectively and economically,” the bank said in a recent report.
Falling costs of renewable energy and electrolysers used in green hydrogen production is one of the main catalysts for the increasingly bullish sentiment over the element.
The cost of electrolysers used in green hydrogen production has halved over the last five years and will fall to 60 to 90 per cent by the end of the decade, acceding to Haim Israel, equity strategist at Merrill Lynch. A global focus on decarbonisation and sustainability is also a big driver in its development.
