Spotlighting home improvement brands, live design sessions, professional guidance, culinary events, celebrity appearances at the Broward County Convention Center

HEADLINER: CARSON KRESSLEY
The Fort Lauderdale edition of the show this year will be led by Carson Kressley, an Emmy-winning television personality, style authority and design star widely recognized for his roles on Queer Eye, RuPaul’s Drag Race, Get a Room with Carson & Thom and BBQ Brawl.
With a wealth of experience in fashion, style and television, Kressley has brought his signature design eye into the home through projects like Bravo’s Get a Room with Carson & Tom, where he teamed up with leading designers to revamp spaces with a focus on color, personality and unique finishes far from cookie-cutter results. He also collaborated with Ballard Designs on an interiors and furniture line called “The Thrill of the Hunt,” inspired by his passion for equestrian and English country aesthetics.
Those attending the Home Show will get the chance to see Kressley live for design talks, audience Q&A sessions and a meet-and-greet with admirers.
Make sure to catch Carson Kressley on the Home Design Stage:
Saturday, September 5 at 3:00 p.m.
Live design discussion, Q&A and meet-and-greet.
Sunday, September 6 at 3:00 p.m.

LIVE LUXURY WALLPAPER INSTALLATION WITH HGTV FEATURED EXPERT KATIE HUNT
Wallpaper is making a comeback (though, honestly, it never truly disappeared, and we’re happy about that). But say goodbye to the peeling floral prints on Grandma’s walls. Today’s wallpaper has undergone a major transformation, featuring luxurious textures, striking patterns and refined finishes that are taking over classic interiors.
Katie Hunt, founder of Katie’s Wallpaper Installation and featured on HGTV’s Property Brothers and Holmes on Homes, will take the Home Design Stage on Friday and Saturday to demonstrate the potential of modern luxury wallcoverings.
Katie Hunt collaborates with some of the world’s top wallcovering brands in South Florida residences and will bring the process to life through live wallpaper installation demos on stage, followed by chances for attendees to explore materials, methods and the transformative effect wallpaper can have on a room.

WHAT ATTENDEES WILL EXPERIENCE
The Fort Lauderdale Home Design and Remodeling Show transforms Labor Day weekend into a chance for homeowners to shop, compare, learn and plan upcoming projects without needing to drive from one showroom to another.
Visitors can browse hundreds of local and national brands covering kitchen and bath remodeling, cabinetry, countertops, outdoor kitchens, landscaping, smart home automation, security, the latest energy-saving technology, impact windows and doors, roofing, furniture, lighting, decoration inspiration — the range and scale of this event are nearly limitless.
Most importantly, homeowners can see products firsthand. Rather than relying on online images, reviews and research, attendees can compare materials, talk directly with experts, ask questions about their particular projects and get quotes and suggestions on the spot.
A weekend at the Fort Lauderdale Home Design and Remodeling Show will also include live culinary experiences, with local chefs Chef Bhavesh and Chef Steve (Eataly) taking the stage. The Live Culinary Experience is sponsored by Thermador, Fuse Specialty Appliances, Lioher, and Lifetime Kitchen. This is your opportunity to see the newest kitchen products in action, pick up fresh ideas and bring the kitchen renovation conversation to life, one tasty dish at a time.
In addition, the Designer’s Show House ties the event together, letting attendees see how materials, textures, products and ideas come together in a single space. Come view the work of South Florida designers Perla Lichi of Perla Lichi Design, Elieser Duran of Studio Duran, and Anna Lucia Pena of Cataleia Spaces.
