Women of Habitat Kent Interior Design Lunch & Learn
2025-11-18 12:00 - 13:30 | CS Erickson, 719 Century Ave SW Building A, Grand Rapids, MI, 49503
Room Refresh Workshop!
Join us for an interactive workshop on how to ‘refresh’ a room without a full remodel! We’ll explore simple design principles — like color balance, furniture flow, and layering accents — that anyone can apply to transform a space they already own and love. Attendees will learn actionable take-home tips they can try, and they’ll also get hands-on by creating their own mini mood board to capture their personal style. Register here!
Lunch will be provided. Parking is available on site.
Thank you to CS Erickson, Delight Remodel & Design, and Jennifer Maxson & Associates for sponsoring this event.
