But it’s not just a fresh new look for the well-loved brand.
From this week the channel will also be upgraded to full HD on DStv 176.
“HD is going to make a big difference to our viewers and advertisers,” said channel head Michael Porter.
“Décor and design is all about the detail. Now our viewers can experience the most stunning homes, gardens and renovations as if they were there.”
The revamped branding, from Mauritius-based designers Aestetika Studios, blends everyday home images with rich tones and bold colours to create warmth and a sense of familiarity.
The key content pillars of décor, gardening, food, DIY, property and health are colour-coded to help viewers navigate their way.
To celebrate the relaunch, a slate of new show and new episodes of old favourites will roll out from June.

The Home Channel, owned by Arena Broadcast, started as a weekends-only channel in 2005. Due to its popularity it expanded to a full 24/7 service in 2007.
“We are delighted by the success and longevity of the channel,” said Arena Broadcast head Vernon Matzopoulos, “and we hope to inspire and delight new generations of homeowners for years to come”.
