We’ve embarked on an exciting second half of the year and we are more than happy to indulge you. Our work this season has heavily focused on impacting our communities and making the lives of the people we live around a bit better than we found them.  It has and continues to be a fulfilling season as we have reached out and gone out to work with the communities. Our initiatives have focused on education and infrastructure.  This has seen us partner with the Kenyatta International Convention Centre to renovate and refurbish Gatina Primary School in Kawangware. We have also gone further to hold hands with our Platinum Sponsor, East African Portland Cement Company to support high school girls in Kajiado County with the theme #KeepAGirlInSchool. As we use our core skills to engage the community we have seen what can be achieved when corporates hold hands to impact the community and leave a positive handprint in the lives of the people we engage with.

The one thing I am glad about is that we are coming out of the endless electioneering period that’s stunted the Kenyan economy these past few months. It’s been a roller coaster of political opinions, emotions, an upheaval of lives, an economic downturn for everyone in Kenya, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.The weather has been quite erratic, with short bursts of the sun’s rays, and showers here and there.
However, all in all, we are grateful for this blessing and the diversity of Kenyans. Our theme for this edition is “stepping into the light”. For the HomesKenya team, this edition brings in a new season for us and our reader. We look forward to brighter days and a better business environment in 2018 and beyond as we embrace a global editorial style. We’ve also changed our distribution channels to reach a wider audience and get your favorite read to you.

This year has been filled with so much activity and has tested the resilience, patience
and unity of Kenyans. As with every year, we bring to you East & Central
Africa’s biggest homes show. However, this year we’ve been forced to move the
Blue Triangle Cement 26th Kenya Homes Expo to next year 2018. We anticipate
a stable and conducive environment for our clients and visitors to conduct
business in peace and achieve maximum returns on benefit. Thus, diarize 12- 15
April, 2018, for 4 amazing days of business interaction at the KICC.

Recently, there was a popular advert that had the tag line “Home is where the heart is”, and this rang so true for most of us. You may have had the worst day ever, but once you walk into your home, somehow a peace surrounds you. You and I both know that getting a home to look and feel as exquisite as we want it to get quite tricky – at least I know that my home is still a work in progress. If my house could look like my Pinterest page, it would be on this magazine cover for sure. Read on and know why you need a mood board.
We are fast running up the biggest homes show in East & Central Africa from 12 – 15 October. Turn the pages so get a preview of what went down the last expo in April and get to know what to expect in this edition that’s themed #AffordableLiving. You can afford to live comfortably and the Kenya Homes Expo has put together an innovative crop of products and services to suit your pockets.
We can’t afford to wait for our dream homes. Life is too short to live in semi-decent spaces until we can buy our homes. The space you are in now is your home, so get to
work and work on it with love. Our homes reﬂect who we are, and I know I don’t want anyone getting the wrong idea about me from the way my home looks.

The coldest months of the year are here with us again. To some people, this is the best time of the year, and to others, the worst. Truth be told, who likes murking through puddles of water and mud? Other than children who love to play outdoors in such
weather, no one else does.
However, it is also the beginning of a new season – in terms of weather and life. It is the middle of the year, and it can count as a time to take stock of the past year, what with the goals and resolutions made. This mid year season also presents a time to reflect on the achievements made since the beginning of the year and a time to make the necessary changes.
This last month we held the biggest homes show in East & Central Africa and wasn’t it a successful event! Officially opened by the Hon. Prof. Jacob Kaimenyi, the theme of the event resonated with the Cabinet Secretary’s sentiments – in order to create tomorrows lifestyles, we must create opportunities for every Kenyan to own affordable homes.
As organizer of the bi-annual event, we have made it our purpose and goal to every year create a platform where dreams can come true and people’s goals of home ownership can be actualized.
On the pages of HomesKenya Magazine this edition, in line with taking stock of the past year, we take you through 4 of the most fabulous homes we have featured. Get ideas from these home owners and get décor and design ideas from the homes we have featured.
We also take you on a tour of the elegant Radisson Blu Hotel, where the large open spaces complimented by designer décor will inspire you to visit the hotel – and maybe take the woman in your life for a treat this Mothers Day.

We have packed a great deal of real estate stories that are sure to keep you abreast with the trends in the industry and gain lots of information.  The Kenyan real estate market contributes on average 11% to the country’s GDP (gross domestic product). This should tell you just how important this sector is.  Many Kenyans would love to say goodbye to their landlords a d own their own homes, but with the economy as it is this has proved so difficult. Even as banks peddle home loans a d .ort gages,  it is not all rosy when one starts pursuing this financing. So which other ways are there to get home financing? Read on to see some innovative ways -and legal of course. 
Homes Kenya is not all seriousness. We have some inspiring reads and DIY tips to guide you when sprucing up your home. We visit the new TACC Store at Garden City Mall and share some AMAZING deals and buys.  Again, most of us live in apartments, but how do we plant our own herbs and greens?
