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."

Ella 

Brittanicca

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:

  • 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."
What is your favorite part of the Calgary Home + Design Show, the Vancouver Home + Design Show, and the Edmonton Fall Home Show?

"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.

The Vancouver Home + Design Show opens today! Now until Sunday at BC Place Stadium you can take in seemingly endless celebrity presentations, expert ideas, and more! We couldn't be more excited to share our fabulous features, renovation tips and tricks, design ideas, and culinary creations with you all weekend long.

With so much going on, you may need to pace yourself. Read our show survival tips below to hit the Vancouver Home + Design Show like a pro.


1. Come Prepared
Wear comfortable footwear - BC Place Stadium is a huge building, and you don't want to get tripped up by sore soles. Plus, grab a free bag (or two) from our generous exhibitors and you'll have the perfect spot to throw oodles of samples, coupons, and more.

2. Slow Down
Don't rush through the show or you'll miss the best bits. Arrive early, stay late, and take your time. There's plenty to see and do to keep you entertained all day long. When you need to rest your feet, head to the Floform Lounge and enjoy a change of scenery with a copy of Western Living Magazine and a glass of Church + State vino. You'll also find snacks at the ready - or if you crave something a little more filling, check out the food court options like Steveston Fish & Chips and Vij's.

3. Stick to Your Schedule
Have a favourite celebrity guest that you just have to see? Create a schedule so you never miss a minute. Better yet, set alarms for yourself so you know where you have to be and when. Don't forget to keep your show map with you - no one likes getting lost!

4. Be Ready to Buy
Nothing's worse than falling madly in love with the perfect product at the show and not having the cash on hand to make it yours. Many of our exhibitors take credit, but just in case, have some cash at the ready.

5. Take Notes
You're only human, you can't be expected to remember everything you hear at the show. Whether you're listening to Bryan Baeumler, cooking with Chef Corbin, or getting the low-down at the Ask a Designer booth, be ready with pen and paper (or smartphone, on silent) in hand!

6. Stay Up to Date
BC Place has free wifi and we'll be live tweeting all weekend long. Make sure to follow us at @VanHomeShows to get the latest information on giveaways, presenters, and the best booths. Have something to say? Share it with us using #VHDS14! You never know, you could win a prize (hint, hint).

Now that you have these tips, put them to good use at the show! Haven't bought your tickets yet? No worries. Right now you can get two tickets for the price of one when you like us on Facebook. Bring a friend or family member to the show; we can't wait to see you there!
