Whether you’re planning a full renovation, looking for the latest interior trends, or just want a fantastic day out with friends, Ideal Home Show Scotland has everything you need. From celebrity experts to hands-on demos, your next big idea starts here.
Australian interior designer, presenter and author Banjo Beal returns this year, joined by his husband Ro. The pair have been winning audiences over with their BBC series The Grand Island Hotel, which follows their ambitious transformation of an abandoned mansion on a remote Scottish island into a luxury retreat. Visitors can expect design insights, renovation stories and plenty of warmth from the couple as they share their journey.
Joining Banjo is his Scotland’s Home of the Year co-host Anna Campbell-Jones. With decades of experience across interiors, television and product design, Anna will share her expert perspective on how thoughtful design can transform how we live and how even small changes can create more beautiful, confident spaces at home.
Property experts Scarlette and Stuart Douglas will also return to the show. Known for Channel 4 favourites Worst House on the Street and Can’t Sell, Must Sell, the brother-and-sister duo will offer practical advice and insider tips for anyone navigating the property market.
A brand-new addition for 2026 is the Money Village, created in partnership with MoneyMatiX. This dedicated hub will help visitors explore practical ways to fund their next home project, offering expert guidance and ideas for managing home improvement budgets.
Across the show floor, themed sections will bring together inspiration for every aspect of home and lifestyle.
The Interiors area showcases seasonal décor trends and fresh design ideas for every room, while Home Renovation features leading brands and specialists ready to help you plan your next big project. In Gardens, visitors can explore outdoor living ideas, planting inspiration and products to transform their outdoor spaces for the months ahead.
Beyond the home, the show also includes Travel & Leisure, offering inspiration for future adventures and experiences, and Lifestyle, featuring fashion, wellness and beautiful products designed to elevate everyday living.
Your ticket also includes entry to the Eat & Drink Festival, sponsored by HexClad. Scotland’s favourite indoor food festival celebrates the best in food and drink, with live cooking demonstrations, artisan producers and flavours to tempt every palate.
And at the heart of the event sits the Show Home itself: a full-scale house created in collaboration with leading designers and brands. Visitors can walk through beautifully designed rooms and discover ideas, colours and textures that could inspire their own next home project.
With expert talks, design inspiration and plenty to explore, Ideal Home Show Scotland promises four days of ideas for every home.
