The Ideal Home Show 2019 is fast approaching and we can’t wait to reveal our Good Homes’ roomsets to you.

Of course, our stylish roomsets should definitely be your first port of call, but that’s not all the inspiration you’ll find at this year’s event. We round up the other top features you should make a B line for.

These six inspiring schemes bring the pages of your favourite magazine to life.

We’ve designed each room on this year’s key trends and the most popular interior search terms – basically, how we use our homes now and this year’s decorating looks.

Based on the show’s Best of British theme, Good Homes has created six unique Rooms for Royals.

Featuring the latest decorating looks, new colour trends and the hottest products that will be hitting the shops and online this spring, each scheme has been adapted and styled to suit a member of the most famous family in the UK.
