The ‘Queen of Colour’ Tiffany Pratt will apply her signature bold approach to every corner of the National Home Show, March 6-15 at the Enercare Centre
The National Home Show, presented by REMAX, is pleased to announce multi-disciplinary designer, artist and TV personality Tiffany Pratt as its Creative Director. This newly established role will infuse a decidedly modern-meets-vintage look, style, direction, and brand strategy for one of Canada’s most established consumer shows. Pratt, is a coveted design expert and past guest speaker at Toronto Home Shows, is set to bring her bold design aesthetic, creativity and unabashed approach to colour to the National Home Show, returning March 6 to 15 at the Enercare Centre, Exhibition Place in Toronto.
“I’m thrilled to be working with the National Home Show in the capacity of Creative Director. My hope is to bring a new design perspective to the overall feeling of the Show that inspires visitors to have fun, tap into their own creativity, and feel empowered to enhance their living spaces, not only through function and design, but by evoking the emotions you want to feel in your home,” says Pratt. “I love to remix, reuse, revisit, repurpose, and reclaim the ordinary into something extraordinary.”
Pratt will bring her vibrant design ethos to the National Home Show’s visual elements, branding and marketing vision, and lend her industry networks toward creating engaging on-site activations, meaningful partnerships and exciting collaborations.
Part of her inspiration for 2026 comes from archival photos that she discovered of what the National Home Show looked like over the last seven decades. She pays homage to the Show’s rich heritage by reworking old images, painting over them with bold colours and graffiti-inspired art strokes to create a modern edge. These curated visuals are featured in the Show’s marketing rollout, website and social media; and will be present on-site through the look of its ticket booths and visitor tote bags featuring Pratt’s artwork, which will be available for purchase.
Another prominent element in Pratt’s creative direction draws on the National Home Show’s NEW logo of the iconic Princes’ Gates at Exhibition Place where the Show has been held for more than 70 years. Inspired by the columns of the Princes’ Gates that resemble stripes, Pratt incorporates a “stripes on stripes” theme in many of the Show’s design elements.
A New Design
Introducing a playful colour palette curated from official paint partner Sherwin-Williams, the Show will be styled to look and feel like a home. Art and design will be visible around every corner. Aisle banners become doors, crocheted blankets stitched together in a mosaic will hang overhead to create artful gathering spaces, and show staff will don striped bathrobes to welcome visitors. Continuing on the striped theme, handmade rug designer Robyn Waffle, from Toronto’s design district, is creating two commissioned large-scale silk rug art installations that will hang at the Show’s main entrance.

Pratt is bringing the best of Toronto’s design scene to the National Home Show with eye-catching Design Vignettes along the main aisle of the show floor.
