Enter the Ideal Home Reader Home Awards 2024

Ideal Home is on the hunt for the UK's very best homes and gardens, and we want to hear from you! 

For a chance of winning £1,000 cash and having your own house tour featured in our magazine, you'll need to submit your application via this form by the end of April.

If you've been inspired to give your home a new look this year then start working on that application.

What are the Ideal Home: Reader Home Awards 2024 categories?

The Ideal Home Reader Home Awards 2024 are split into three categories. You can choose between Best Home, Best Garden, and Best Room Makeover.

So it's no problem if some areas of your home aren't *quite* photo-shoot-ready. If you prefer, you can just enter one room or even your outdoor living space.

Want to show off your entire home? Also totally fine.

What are we looking for?

We are on the lookout for gorgeous homes of all kinds, from period properties to smart new builds. If you have a stunning 'before and after' to share, or perhaps a character-filled conservatory or outdoor living space – we want to see it.

2023's Ideal Home Best Reader Home award winner was a mid-century bungalow that had been transformed into an open-plan Kiwi-style, contemporary home. The renovation saw a confused layout completely overhauled to create a stylish, bright and airy home. 

The Reader Garden Award went to a lovely space centred around bringing the family together in a sunken seating area. A grey colour scheme was the perfect finishing touch. 

How to apply to Ideal Home: Reader Home Awards 2024
