Refresh Your Space at the Ideal Home Show, Olympia London 10-19 April 2026
There’s something undeniably exciting about stepping into a space designed purely to inspire and the Ideal Home Show does exactly that. Returning to Olympia London from 10th–19th April, this much-loved event has been helping us reimagine our homes since 1908, and 2026 is set to be its most inspiring edition yet.
For ten days, Olympia will transform into a hub of creativity, bringing together more than 600 brands under one roof, alongside expert advice, live demonstrations and beautifully curated spaces. Whether you’re planning a full home makeover, refreshing your garden for the warmer months, or simply looking for clever ideas to elevate everyday living, this is the place to start.
One of the highlights is the immersive “Ideal Home” itself, a full-scale show home packed with the latest trends, from stylish kitchens and luxurious bathrooms to smart storage solutions and energy-efficient innovations. It’s designed to give you real, practical inspiration you can take away and apply to your own space, whatever its size or style.
Beyond interiors, the show embraces lifestyle in its fullest sense. You’ll find everything from the buzzing Eat & Drink Festival, celebrating global flavours and expert cooking tips to hands-on workshops, live talks, and interactive features like the DIY Live stage and BBQ Academy. It’s a wonderfully rounded day out, whether you’re browsing, learning, or indulging a little.
And if you’re looking to elevate your visit, the VIP ticket option offers a more premium experience. Think of it as a way to enjoy the show at a slightly slower pace, perfect for turning a day of inspiration into a real treat. With a range of ticket options available, including workshops and group bookings, it’s easy to tailor the day to suit you.
Open daily from 10am, with extended hours at weekends, the show is designed to be enjoyed at your leisure, so there’s plenty of time to explore, revisit your favourite stands, and maybe even pick up a few must-have pieces along the way.
Whether you go with friends, family, or simply carve out some time for yourself, the Ideal Home Show is a joyful reminder that our homes should evolve with us, beautiful, functional, and filled with personality. And after more than a century, it continues to prove that a little inspiration can go a very long way.
