With the end of the Calgary Home + Design Show upon us, it is now time to welcome fall with open arms after four amazing days at the BMO Centre. From interior design to culinary creations and celebrity sightings, it all came together under one roof – complete with the hundreds of local retailers, designers and experts who made it all possible!
Missed out? Don’t fret. We’ve rounded up our favourite features and the most memorable moments.
Our favourite contractor, Bryan Baeumler, lit up the Trail Appliances Main Stage with his wife Sarah, and had fans fawning over his renovation (and marriage) know-how.
The Parker Barrow design duo returned to Calgary just in time for fall, sharing their insider tips and tricks to incorporate worldly touches into your home.
Things got cookin’ on the Trail Appliances Cooking Stage with the Samsung Junior Chef Challenge, hosted by chef Pierre Lamielle. Congrats to Calgary’s own Ryley Pochapsky, who walked away with $5,000 worth of Samsung appliances for his family’s kitchen - not to mention a hip pair of Samsung headphones for himself.
Guests couldn’t resist the Ultimate Upcycle Challenge: Take A Seat - all 10 entries were scooped up and given a second chance at life! Designs by local media personalities, designers and tastemakers raised $1,295 for Habitat for Humanity Southern Alberta, thanks to their creative takes on pre-loved items of choice. Congrats to Melissa Wagner of Interiors to Inspire for scoring the top bid of $250.
And, don’t forget to mark your calendars! Catch even more fantastic features and celebrity guests at the Calgary Home + Garden Show, happening February 25 – February 28 at the BMO Centre & Corral. Stay tuned to our website for more details, coming soon.

We're thrilled to once again have the pleasure of working with FLOFORM. This innovative company is sponsoring the Calgary Home + Design Show, the Vancouver Home + Design Show, and the Edmonton Fall Home Show. Everything they do is designed to deliver homeowners the countertops they deserve, on time and on budget, for a kitchen that exceeds expectations.
For more than 50 years, FLOFORM's skilled craftspeople have been helping homeowners select, create, and install countertops with just the right balance of storage, style, and comfort. The FLOFORM team will work with you, starting with your vision and budget, and guide you through every step of the renovation process - so you and your family will love your kitchen for years to come.
Before folks can discover and explore FLOFORM's offerings and lounge at the shows, we connected with the FLOFORM team to talk trends, featured products, and more. Check out our brief interview below!
What are your featured products this season?
"Cambria has launched two new quartz designs from their Marble collection, Ella and Brittanicca. These two new designs are innovative and absolutely breathtaking. There will be more to come from Cambria in fall 2015 and spring 2016."
What can we look forward to from you at the Calgary Home + Design Show, the Vancouver Home + Design Show, and the Edmonton Fall Home Show?
"We will be highlighting the latest in innovation from Cambria. They've launched two new designs from their Marble Collection that have legendary style. Those who visit our booth will be among the first to see these in a full slab!"
What home design and decor trends are you anticipating for 2015?
"Although we are not design trend experts, here are some trends we have our eye on:
"As an exhibitor, it is always nice to be face-to-face with a large volume of customers who are interested in your product. We have products that are engaging and we are always so excited to show them off! These shows always have the best features throughout the venue, such as the feature home, cooking stage, main stage, and of course the FLOFORM Lounge!"
What advice would you give homeowners who are starting a home improvement project?
"This goes without saying, but definitely do your research and talk to several different vendors at the show. Make sure you trust who you are working with and that they've clearly outline the scope of work for you."
There's a lot to think about when designing a custom kitchen. But with a little planning and help from FLOFORM, your renovation can be simpler and a lot more fun. Learn how FLOFORM takes the guesswork out of creating a custom kitchen by visiting them at the Marketplace Events Home Show nearest you. This skilled team will be in Calgary at the Calgary Home + Design Show, September 17-20, in Vancouver at the Vancouver Home + Design Show, October 22-25, and in Edmonton at the Edmonton Fall Home Show, October 23-25.

What home design and decor trends are you anticipating for 2015?
"Although we are not design trend experts, here are some trends we have our eye on:
- Countertops - Whites are all the rage, especially on the west coast. Specialty edge profiles are also becoming quite popular.
- Fixtures - We are seeing a lot of warm metallics. Though silver, chrome, and stainless steel are still quite popular within kitchen fixtures, we are seeing a lot more warm metallics. Gold, copper, and bronze are great to use as accents to really make your kitchen pop.
- Sinks - Undermount sinks make your countertops standout and give your kitchen a clean and modern look. Undermount sinks make for easy cleaning as there are no edges on your countertop. Apron front sinks have an exposed panel in the front, which makes a great, eye-catching piece in your kitchen."

We're thrilled to have Silk Plant Warehouse joining us at this year's Calgary Home + Design Show. Make sure to visit them in Booth #580 during the show, which takes over the BMO Centre September 17-20, 2015.
Silk Plant Warehouse is a staple for Calgary design enthusiasts. With a plethora of indoor and outdoor decor items, this unique company has just what you need to spruce up your space - whatever the season. Check out our brief interview with the Silk Plant Warehouse team to get a sneak peek at what they'll be bringing to the show!
Describe your product.
"Silk Plant Warehouse offers a wide variety of indoor and outdoor home decor options. We carry everything from plants to paintings. We also offer custom design service and deliveries as well."
What are your best design tips?
"Less is more! Contemporary designs, especially for outdoors, have been extremely popular. In terms of our artificial plant products, appearances can be deceiving. A little goes a long way."
Will you have any show specials?
"Feature Items this year will be our Christmas collection, that has been expanded. Our indoor decorative branches selection has also expanded, and will be coming soon. Our HUGE outdoor selection of cedars and boxwoods is very popular. Our show special would be a 10% discount off a certain product. While quantities last."
What are you design pet peeves?
"Clutter is nobody's friend. Stay away from clutter. Pick one accent colour and stick with it."
What's your favourite part of the Calgary Home + Design Show?
"Seeing all the upcoming trends and new items coming into the marketplace."
Is there anything else folks should know?
"Inspiration is easy to find at Silk Plant Warehouse. From the creative custom plant designs to the abundance of exceptional plant inventory, our store has everything you need to transform your indoor and outdoor spaces. Our unique collection of home decor accessories and modern artwork make Silk Plant Warehouse one of Calgary's hidden treasures for design enthusiasts."
It all comes together at the Calgary Home + Design Show. The home and garden event of the season is the authority on all things design, entertaining, and home improvement. Head down to the BMO Centre, Sept 17-20 to connect with celebrities, experts, and professionals who have tons of tips and advice to share with you.
