Show inspirations<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Ideal Homes Show will as always have its iconic show homes for you to look around and steel ideas. This year there will be two homes up for scrutiny:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Gap House<\/strong> does what it says on the tin \u2013 it is designed to fit into the gap between two buildings and is a mere 3 metres wide. Very useful if you have limited space and need inspiration and can embrace open-plan living.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Home for Life<\/strong> is an \u2018ultra-modular\u2019 home built to be moved to any site within 24 hours as long as the site is ready. The one at the show has 3 bathrooms and 4 bedrooms but to show its flexibility it will be rebuilt at the Ideal Home Show Scotland and Manchester in different guises.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Of course there will also be many companies exhibiting their latest offerings to inspire your makeovers in every part of your home from bathroom furniture to wallpapers, technology and more.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
