Ideal Home Show 2014

Ideal Home Show 2014
14 - 30 March 2014
Earls Court, London

I had so many photos from this show I have split the blogs into two parts.  This part is focused on show highlights and the second part will be show suppliers.


Opening Day at the Ideal Home Show 2014 was packed with people!


 Although the Ideal Home Show is a lot less "designy" than the other shows I go too, I did enjoy myself.


 The entrance theme seemed to be lampshades, Giant hanging lampshades highlighted seating areas on your way into the show.  It was very bright, colorful and fun I liked what they have done.


 

The Princes Crescent

 "Created in association with the Princes Foundation for Building Community".

I loved the layout of the Princes Crescent using the show houses, that was really clever and created a great space to be in.

 These show homes turned out not to be just show homes! 
"After the Ideal Home Show Scotland, these houses will be placed permanently on the Dumfries House Estate in Scotland, where they will become someones home."



Princes Crescent

"All the houses in The Princes Crescent are based on our eco-home model that is 70% more energy efficient than current building regulations require".

Princes Crescent - The Baillie-Scott Home
The interiors of the Princes Crescent were designed by Annabel Bertie and Princes Foundation student Laura Hattrup.

Princes Crescent - The Family Home
The pair worked together to create "Three different interior schemes that reflect the timelessness of their traditional scottish exteriors whilst demonstrating how good functional design equipped with comfort can work for a varitey of life-styles.
