Got $2000 to spare? That will buy you one metre of the coffee-and-cream embossed fabric featured at the Trelise Cooper Interiors display at this weekend's Autumn Home Show at the ASB Showgrounds.

The Trelise Cooper Interiors exhibit will also display cushions covered in embroidered silk, and an antique chair upholstered in a gold medieval print on velvet.

If you want a vegetable garden but don't want the digging, Patch from Scratch can help.

For $2000 plus GST, the gardening service will create an organic garden in your own backyard - or on your deck, your patio or even your concrete parking area. It provides planter boxes in untreated macrocarpa, in a variety of sizes, the first crop of seedlings, a planting calendar and tips on companion planting. It will even throw in a bin for kitchen scraps, and a follow-up consultation after three months.

Jenny Murfitt, marketing manager for DMG Media, which owns the rights to the Home Show, says the company is expecting about 15,000 visitors over the three days of the show.

It will have about 200 stalls displaying the latest in kitchens, bathrooms, spas, gardens and furniture for indoors and outdoors.

There will be seminars, cooking demonstrations, renovation consultations and property advice.

* The show runs from 10am to 6pm today, tomorrow and Sunday at the ASB Showgrounds.
