August often feels like a second new year. The kids head back to school, routines return, and you start looking at your home differently again. Maybe the kitchen feels cluttered, or your living room layout no longer works for your growing family. A fresh start doesn’t have to be overwhelming—start with a free design consult at Showhome Furniture in Calgary.
Why Now Is the Right Time for a Reset
As schedules settle and the house gets quieter, it’s easier to see what’s missing. Maybe your dining area needs more space for homework time. Or maybe your entryway needs storage solutions that actually work. Back-to-school is the perfect moment to make thoughtful changes to your space.

A free design consult can help you look at your home with fresh eyes and expert advice. Whether you're tackling one room or planning updates across the whole house, this service helps you set a clear direction.
What You Get With a Free Design Consult
When you book a free design consult at Showhome Furniture, you’re not just getting a quick chat. You’re meeting with a skilled designer who listens to your needs and builds a custom plan just for you. You can bring photos, measurements, and even your Pinterest boards.

Your consult may cover:
- Space planning and layout suggestions
- Help choosing the right size and style of furniture

- Storage ideas for busy areas like mudrooms or offices
- Accent lighting and wall décor suggestions
And if you’ve shopped with Showhome before, you’ll get access to repeat client perks as well.

Make the Most of August’s Energy

Think about these questions:
- Do your current furniture pieces support your daily routines?
- Is there a room that just doesn’t work the way you need it to?
- Could a few custom pieces or layout tweaks make your home feel calmer and more functional?
If you answered yes to any of those, it’s time to book your free design consult.
