Home of the Year winner Jennifer Sheahan has visited all the events below over the years. She shares her recommendations

The Ideal Home Show takes place the RDS twice a year.

Inspiration is key when you’re renovating or redecorating your home, and while magazines and Pinterest are brilliant, nothing beats seeing something in person. I love going to interior design events, shows, exhibitions, and open evenings as often as I can, to get inspiration for clients and content.

Larger exhibitions are a great place to get information and ideas for your home — there will be experts and business representatives who will be happy to talk through your design plans and answer your questions.
