The Good Homes Live roomsets

Packed with fresh ideas, the innovative, interactive and on-trend Good Homes Live roomsets at Ideal Home Show 2023 have been designed to include the latest products and coolest colour palettes to decorate your home.

‘This year is all about tactile materials, innovative technology, storage solutions, and finding ways to brighten up living spaces,’ says Karen Walker, Editor of Good Homes.

‘Implementing designer wallpapers, feature walls and and funky patterns are key to spicing up your living spaces. Our four roomsets embody all of this season’s top trends, from sleek and modern kitchens, to spa-like bathrooms, playful bedrooms, and contemporary living rooms.’

The Show Village

The Show Village is a real centrepiece of Ideal Home Show, featuring two incredible life-size homes that you can walk through, as well as the Super Theatre, where you can listen to a host of celebrities and experts offering their advice on all things homes, gardens and money-saving.

The first Show Home theme for 2023 is The Money Making Home by Framtio, sponsored by Sky Glass. This revenue-generating home has a fully furnished Airbnb built alongside the main house, plus energy-saving measures built in to help keep running costs down.

The second is The Great Escape Home. Inspired by the Grand Designs container home and designed and built by Mockba Modular utilising Metsec Framing Systems, it showcases just what you can achieve with amazing design for under £100,000.
