A Milestone Year

Ideal Home Show Spring 2026 marked an incredible milestone as we celebrated our 118th show in style, welcoming visitors to Olympia, London for an unforgettable showcase of inspiration, innovation and entertainment, even earning a feature on This Morning.

A host of household celebrity guests brought star quality to the show, sharing their expert advice, insider tips and plenty of memorable moments. Visitors were also treated to a standout intimate live performance, with musician Emeli Sandé captivating audiences with a stunning piano set, courtesy of the Roland stand.

New Features and Standout Moments

Exciting new features added fresh energy to the show, including the much-loved Bark Yard, in collaboration with Dogs Trust - a paradise for dog lovers, supported by favourites such as Clare Balding and Ellie Simmonds, delighting visitors with ideas for their four-legged companions.

Across the halls, the beautifully curated Show Home showcased the very latest town and country themes in interiors, from bold, expressive design to calming, nature-inspired spaces, offering endless ideas to enhance everyday living.

Food, Fire and Flavour

The Eat & Drink Festival returned as a vibrant hub of flavour, while the all-new BBQ Academy sponsored by La Española proved a sizzling success. Visitors flocked to see impressive flaming demonstrations from leading names including Andrew Dickens, Joseph Nesbitt-Larking and David Domoney, alongside other experts sharing their grilling secrets.

Visitors Got Involved

Creativity was in full swing with a diverse programme of hands-on workshops. From spring floral arranging and home décor sessions to indulgent chocolate-making workshops with Oli The Choc and lively cocktail masterclasses hosted by Portobello Academy, there was something for everyone to try.

Innovation and Inspiration

Innovation remained at the heart of the show, with cutting-edge products, smart home solutions and sustainable ideas inspiring visitors to reimagine their spaces.
