Ideal Home Show

Flex those tool-wielding muscles, because it’s time to embark on a brilliant but ambitious DIY project once more, or at least consider one, thanks to inspiration from the Ideal Home Show. Dedicated sections focus on home improvements, interior décor, gardens, gadgets, food and homeware. This year, you can nosey around the new ‘Spring Clean area’ offering expert advice on cleaning and de-cluttering, look around the ‘Future Living House’ featuring all the latest in home technology and smart devices and check out the house plant hospital if you’re having trouble keeping your fern baby alive. There’s also the chance to hear from big names including financial expert Martin Lewis (who’ll presumably advise you not to buy anything from the exhibitors), interior design icon Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, chef Rosemary Shrager and presenter Phil Spencer.
