Special features at the Edmonton Fall Home Show include sustainable living at The Greener Side, ideas for a mini-ski chalet at Home on the Hill and Design Decisions with Edmonton’s Jennifer Woch of House of J Interior Design.
Design Decisions will model three furnished and decorated rooms that show off three different interior design styles. One will illustrate a Graffiti style, while another will feature Mid-Century Modern. The third room will be cooked up in a Scandinavian flavor.

The room layouts are a jumping off point for greater conversations with home show visitors about how to narrow down a design style they love.
“People can see a particular style all together. But in reality, when you’re putting a room together, you can borrow bits and pieces from other looks. Your home can fit your personality while also keeping on trend,” she says. “If you like something and it’s not on trend, or if you’re mixing two or three different trends, go for it.”
Woch has shared her expertise with Edmonton home show audiences before. There’s a thirst for information on what’s trending, what the latest paint colors are and what’s coming in the future.
“I always say, if they’re not sure which trend speaks to them, they should get on Pinterest or Houzz and just start collecting. A common theme should arise and if they can’t see it, they could hire an interior designer to help them figure it out,” she says.

When Week visits client’s homes for consultations, she goes straight to their closet.
“I see the colors and styles they like. It doesn’t always translate into the home, but it shows personality,” she says. “A designer can help guide people and fine tune those tastes and flavors.”
The best design, regardless of what’s trending, is when someone can break out of a mold and be true to what they like. When people literally gasp and say, “oh, I really love it, but I’m scared to do it.”
“That’s the stuff you should do. The stuff that sings to your soul,” she says.
The Design Decisions feature is on display throughout the three-day home show at the Edmonton Expo Centre, open Friday, Oct. 14 from noon to 9 pm, Saturday, Oct. 15 from 10 am to 9 pm and Sunday, Oct 16. from 10 am to 6 pm Tickets can be purchased at the door or at a discount online at edmontonfallhomeshow.com
