Explore, be inspired
A home show stands out. It’s not a detached online shopping experience, or an afternoon racing around the city looking at multiple stores in search of one product.
It’s more than tangible, it’s the ease of having everything you could dream of for your home and garden under one roof, plus all of the experts to guide you.
Consider it a neverending pool of inspiration. From appliances, home/cookware, and storage solutions to home furnishings and renovations, or building new altogether, everything is conveniently located in the same space. Move through the practical to the not-so-practical, yet equally as desirable, and discover ways to update your home and living.
The bonus of your imagination going wild, is that the cost to bring them to life is considerably cheaper when inside the show. You will find yourself surrounded by exclusive discounts and generous offers that wouldn’t normally be obtainable. Do right by your future financial self and utilise the show-only promotions.
Covering both interior and exterior, there are so many opportunities to seize. Gather the information from specialist stallholders, compare all the options and prices, and make decisions to suit your lifestyle.
TOP TIPS
• If you find yourself overflowing with ideas and inspiration, utilise the sea of knowledge that surrounds you at the home show, and ask questions. As the saying goes, two heads are better than one, and a different perspective (or more) may open the door to new possibilities or usages for the particular product or service you seek.
• Maintain an open mind. The idea you dream of may not come to fruition, something better may pop up. Welcome these changes with open arms.
• Keep up the connections after you leave. Gather business cards and contact details to get in touch with contractors and suppliers for further projects, or to continue working on an idea. Streamlining the process, solidifying such relationships can bring opportunities and ease to future home updates.
• Attend the daily seminars. There is nothing more helpful than seeing a prospective purchase in action, to understandhow it could integrate into your home, garden, or lifestyle.
• Bring pen and paper to moodboard ideas and inspiration in real time. This can assist in finding the ideal aesthetic, space, and purpose for what you want to create, and send you home satisfied.
• Refuel in between conversations with stallholders and brainstorming. Staying fresh is key, to ensure you make the most of the advice and products and services. Hydrate often, and nibble on delicious food from the café.
