If you’re looking to kick off 2020 by giving your Isle apartment a facelift, you don’t want to miss the Philly Home Show. The annual convention brings together hundreds of vendors—offering a diverse range of home goods, design concepts and improvement services—to arm you with the ideas and inspiration you need to make your apartment a cozy and creative space that’s all your own.

The Home Show is a perfect spot for renters who are looking to make their mark on their apartment without making major renovations. For instance, dozens of vendors will offer handmade home décor, art and furnishings. Grab a new conversation piece for your coffee table (or a whole new coffee table!), wall hangings, a shaggy rug perfect for the chilly weather or any number of other one-of-a-kind pieces. Several vendors focus on closet organization and unique storage solutions, so you can also find some great options for getting your space tidy and trim. There will be exhibitors showcasing home entertainment solutions, kitchen gadgets and even pet products (because we all know our four-legged friends are just as much a part of our households as our human residents!).

The Home Show isn’t just about shopping, however. You can roll up your sleeves and get inspired at a number of “Make It, Take It” workshops, led by local designers, artists and crafters. You can also try your hand at making a unique bar cart filled with only upcycled items (with prizes for the best creation!). In other workshops, get insider’s tips on topics like creating a quiet reading nook in a small space or even bringing out Philadelphia history in your home. Stop by the Barking Lot for more goodies for your pup and see adoptable dogs strut their stuff in a fashion show, and make sure to swing by the Philly Favorites Market for an open-market area featuring local artisans and retailers.

So if you’re in the market for some creative home ideas in 2020, don’t miss the Philly Home Show.
