The Home Show Insider

February 24, 2011

Celebrating its 30th anniversary, the Calgary
Home + Garden Show
rolls into town today for another weekend. We
asked home décor expert and home show regular, Alykhan
Velji
, for a preview on whats coming up this season. Herewith, his
five tips on how to spruce up your home for spring:


1. Wallpaper is a fabulous way of changing up your space. A feature wall
done in a bright paper will pack some punch and perk up your space.

2. For a quick fix, change up the pillows on your sofa, opting for bold
patterns, and dont be afraid to mix and match.

3. Buying new bedding transforms a bedroom and makes it go from drab to
fab in minutes.

4. Lighting is always an afterthought for most, but changing up the
lamps in a space can make all the difference and can also be as simple
as changing the shades.

5. Switch up your artwork: A piece that looked great in one room could
look spectacular in another and nail holes can always be patched up.

For more ideas and to see Velji in action, head down to the BMO Centre
and Corral, Stampede Park this weekend. Find tickets (from $11) here.
