Cool booths are a requirement at IDSwest, the annual exhibition of all things design
September 27 to 30
Full-fledged designers and newbie DIY’ers both find inspiration at the 8th-annual Interior Design Show West (IDSwest). Grab your pen and take down tips from some of the best in the biz: Tommy Smythe, Sarah Richardson’s design sidekick on HGTV, hits the stage on Sep. 29 and 30; and local star Kelly Deck shares her knowledge of West Coast style on Sep. 30. Looking to turn your drab abode into an Architectural Digest–worthy home? Visit hundreds of booths and talk with pros about how to start. If shopping’s more your speed, navigate the One of a Kind district—no blueprint required—with over 50 exhibitors showcasing their handmade jewellery, home decor and fashion.—Jennifer Patterson
