“This fall’s Vancouver Home + Design Show is all about bringing big-ticket designers and local, accessible experts together under one roof,” continued Kidd. “Every single guest will be able to find a complete range of expert advice, products, ideas and inspiration, all under one roof. We can’t wait for them to see it.”
