Home Show – March 12-15, 2020 Palais des congrès LiveEvents March 5, 2020 1471 The National Home Show The Montreal National Home Show, scheduled for March 12-15, 2020, has been cancelled as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. The largest selection of exhibitors, experts and housing specialists! Conveniently housed over four days in a new space, the event still offers the widest choice of exhibitors, experts and housing specialists who will accompany visitors in their renovation, exterior design and decoration projects. This year, the National Home Show is offering exciting and inspiring programs that will bring great housing ideas to life. Exhibitors from all areas will be on hand to offer their expertise to owners and tenants alike. Several well-known personalities will attend the event to advise and share their experience and knowledge in design and renovation. Visitors will also have the opportunity to exchange and receive advice from experts in various fields in an intimate and friendly area designed by Valérie Taillefer and explore different settings: two spaces with identical designs but at very different prices, or visit green spaces focused on gardening and horticulture! Maison Enfant Soleil signée Bonneville Bonneville Homes is proud to continue its association with Opération Enfant Soleil for a sixth consecutive year to create the 2020 Maison Enfant Soleil signée Bonneville. This initiative, which helps sick children, gives visitors the chance to win a grand prize valued at $500,000 including a fully decorated and furnished house as well as funds to purchase land in the city of their choice. The $10 tickets will be available for purchase on site. The 2020 Maison Enfant Soleil, called Jayden, stands out by the diversity of its materials and by its use of angles and volumes to maximize space. This bungalow of more than 2000 square feet is divided with a landing that separates the private area where there are two bedrooms each with their own bathroom and the spacious common living area. It is enhanced by a stunning cathedral ceiling and floor-to-ceiling windows that allow abundant natural light at all times of the day. HIGH-LOW Once again, Les idées de ma maison has designed two almost identical rooms, challenging visitors to find out which one is more expensive. This year, it will be a reading area that promises to be cozy and filled with Zen and relaxing features.
