The 3rd Annual Ideal Home Show Chicago Delivers New Products, Design Trends & Inspiration

Comprehensive Shopping Experience Puts Attendees Face-to-Face with
Local and Regional Home Improvement & Remodeling Experts, January 27-29

CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The Ideal
Home Show Chicago (IHSC), presented by Life
Storage, returns to Navy Pier (600 E. Grand Ave.) for its third
installment, from January 27-29, 2017. The experiential marketplace –
the only home show in the city of Chicago – is perfect for new and
existing homeowners looking to upgrade, remodel or renovate their homes.

The three-day showcase will feature vendors from Chicagoland and beyond
eager to demonstrate their new products, and to offer advice, insight
and inspiration on remodeling, design, home improvement and spring
outdoor projects. Guests will meet local and regional experts offering
innovative products, inspiring ideas, helpful tips and exclusive deals.

In 2016, homeowners who completed home remodeling projects rose 12% from
the previous year, driven primarily by new owners looking to upgrade and
customize their homes, and people preparing to put their homes on the
market.¹

“Winter is the perfect time of year for existing and future home owners
to start thinking ahead to their spring and summer renewal projects,”
said Jessica Boweak, the IHSC’s manager. “We’re excited to welcome more
than 40 new home experts to the third annual Ideal Home Show at Navy
Pier. Attendees will get to shop, compare and save, as well as take
advantage of seminars and specials they won’t find anywhere else.”

2017’s Ideal Home Show Chicago will feature vendors specializing in
bedroom, office, outdoor, energy efficiency and more. Since kitchen and

homes, attendees will find experts in cabinetry, appliances, windows and
