A fresh look at your home doesn’t always mean starting from scratch. Sometimes, it just takes a bit of guidance to pull everything together. That’s what many Calgarians discover after booking a free design consult with Showhome Furniture. From awkward living rooms to empty dining areas, our clients have turned everyday spaces into warm, personalized homes—with no pressure and no guesswork.
Want to see what a difference a little advice can make? Let’s walk through real before and after stories from clients right here in Calgary.
Small Living Room, Big Impact
One couple in Bridgeland struggled with a narrow living room that felt tight and uncomfortable. Their oversized sectional didn’t fit the layout, and they avoided hosting guests because of it.
After booking a free design consult with our in-house team at Showhome Furniture, everything changed. The designer suggested a custom Canadian-made sectional with a slimmer profile. The couple added a round coffee table to improve flow and picked lighter colours to brighten the space.
The result? A cozy, inviting living room that looks bigger and functions better. They now host friends every weekend—and actually enjoy doing it.
From Bare to Beautiful in the Dining Room
A young family in Tuscany moved into a home with great bones, but the dining room sat empty for months. They didn’t know what size table to buy, or how to match the look of their open kitchen.
With help from their free design consultation, they chose a solid wood dining table from Showhome Furniture’s custom collection. The design team also recommended a mix of upholstered and wood chairs for contrast.
They added lighting and a large rug to anchor the space. Now the dining room is their favourite area in the house—it’s used daily, not just on holidays.
Bedroom That Finally Feels Like Home
A single professional in Mission had a bedroom filled with mismatched furniture from old apartments. The room lacked purpose, and the layout didn’t support a good night’s sleep.
After talking with a Showhome designer, they switched to a low-profile custom Canadian-made bed and nightstands that fit the room’s scale. A set of soft pendant lights replaced the harsh overhead fixture. The design team even helped choose calming art and muted bedding.
The final result felt intentional and restful. It wasn’t just about looks—it helped them sleep better and start the day with less stress.

Making a Statement with the Entryway
One Showhome client in Evanston had an entryway that felt flat and underused. Shoes piled up by the door, and the space lacked personality.
Their designer recommended a narrow bench with hidden storage, a tall mirror, and bold wall hooks. These changes gave the area a clear purpose without taking up much space.
Now, the entryway feels welcoming and polished. It's the first impression guests get—and it finally says something about the people who live there.
