Calgary’s Home + Design Show

Design October 1, 2013
Shane Homes Interior Design Department recently attended the Calgary Home + Design Show.  Are you curious what they found interesting and inspiring?  We sure are considering that they are constantly perusing websites and magazines on home decor to stay on trend and see what’s new, so it’s cool to see what’s inspiring from a designer’s perspective.

Here’s their top 5 inspirations from the show:

5.  Live in a bubble – new innovative ideas to replace the old tent!

4.  Inspiring kitchen

3.  Thin thin thin is in.  If you think about how technology is getting thinner (TV, iphone, ipod) it makes sense that the ‘thin is in’ move is being reflected on the interior.  Great example from the show – thin countertops:
a kitchen counter with a sink and a counter top

2.  Natural materials – bring the outside in.  Check out these back splash ideas from the show.

1.  Flip up cabinets are all the new rage!  By the way – we also have them to view in our Verve showhome in Legacy in southeast Calgary and in our Orion showhome in Nolan Hill in northwest Calgary!
