MBA Home Show

In January, I participated in the Milwaukee Builder's Association Home Show at our State Exposition Center. We were given a 30'x50' concrete slab in the middle of the room and had to figure out how to make it feel like you were stepping into a home. After mapping out in our space planning system the different 'rooms' we wanted to create, we were able to narrow down exactly how many individual spaces we could create. We wanted to show several different styles since West Elm offers a great variety of Mid-Century Modern, Rustic, Updated Modern, etc. Adding somebookshelves and curtain displays helped us to add dimension and height to the rooms while the rug layering defined the individual spaces. All the accessories and decor helped bring the spaces to life and ultimately created a comfortable homey feeling in the middle of a showroom.
