  • Local talent takes centre stage at upcoming Vancouver Fall Home Show
Vancouver’s top home, design, and DIY experts will be uniting at the upcoming Vancouver Fall Home Show, formerly the Vancouver Home + Design Show, back October 26-29, 2017 at the Vancouver Convention Centre - West. The Vancouver Fall Home Show has assembled an expert roster of trusted, homegrown talent, ready to offer practical advice, tackle home reno questions and deliver inspiration for homeowners, renters and aspiring DIY-ers alike.
 
“The Fall Home Show allows visitors the unique opportunity to have direct access to friendly local experts of all kinds who truly understand Vancouver’s market & trends, including contractors, designers, artists, makers, real estate experts and more, all under one roof,” explains show manager Tyson Kidd. “The Show offers an accessible place for visitors to ask questions, review plans or simply chat about their home dreams and ideas.”
 
Appearing alongside HGTV Canada stars Sarah Richardson, Kortney & Dave Wilson, and interior designer and stylist Tiffany Pratt are over 325 trusted brands and local experts, including:
 
1. Vancouver designer Jamie Banfield of Jamie Banfield Design
 
Local West Coast designer Jamie will be diving into the latest innovations in kitchen and bath design, including current trends and considerations when renovating in those spaces. Jamie will also be lending his eye for style and design to the Double Take feature: a walk through two similar spaces created with different budgets, and the Smart Home presented by BC Hydro: a feature that will show attendees how they can improve their home’s energy efficiency while keeping style top of mind. You can expect top-notch knowledge from Jamie, and his wealth of experience in Vancouver will be sure to leave listeners with inspiration to take on their next home project. Catch Jamie on the Urban Barn Main Stage Friday, October 27 at 2PM.
