🏠 Get the Look: “Your Home Made Perfect” Interior Design Ideas You Can Steal

If you’re obsessed with clever layouts, contemporary furniture, and stunning room transformations, chances are you’ve watched the hit BBC show Your Home Made Perfect. Combining cutting-edge virtual reality design with real-life renovations, the show helps homeowners reimagine their living spaces with dramatic results—and it’s become a goldmine of inspiration for anyone planning a home makeover.

At House of Isabella, we’re just as design-obsessed as the show’s expert architects, and we’ve curated a range of furniture and décor that helps you recreate the magic of Your Home Made Perfect in your own space—without needing a film crew or VR headset.

Here’s how to get the look.

🎯 What Makes “Your Home Made Perfect” So Special?

Each episode features two architectural visions for one struggling home—showing homeowners how a layout change, furniture update, and styling overhaul can completely transform the way they live. Think:

• Smart use of space

• Bold design decisions

• Natural light maximisation

• Sleek furniture and zoning

We’ve analysed some of the most popular design moves from the show and matched them with House of Isabella favourites so you can bring these ideas to life.

🛋️ 1. Open-Plan Living with Zoned Spaces

One of the show’s signature transformations is turning dark, disjointed rooms into open-plan living spaces that still feel purposeful. But knocking down walls is only half the story—zoning with furniture and rugs is key to making it work.

How to get the look:

• Use a curved or L-shaped sofa to create a natural divide between the living and dining areas.

• Define your lounge space with a large area rug in soft neutrals or bold geometric patterns.

• Add an armchair or accent chair to complete the seating zone.

🌞 2. Let There Be Light (and Mirrors)

Natural light is a major theme on the show. Architects often remove obstacles blocking light flow and introduce clever lighting layers. A brilliant trick for maximising light—mirrors. And it’s one we swear by too.

Our tips:

• Hang a large arch mirror or round mirror opposite a window to bounce light across the room.

• Use mirrored furniture like a console table or bedside cabinet to reflect ambient light.

• Choose glass pendant lights or open frame lighting to keep sightlines clear.

🧩 3. Built-In Feel with Modular Furniture

Many of the designs on Your Home Made Perfect cleverly blend custom joinery with sleek modular pieces to get that made-to-measure look—without the bespoke price tag.

Steal this idea:

• Use a low sideboard or storage bench beneath a window for extra storage that doesn’t block light.

• Choose shelving units in matte black or oak to create an open, airy feel that mimics bespoke carpentry.

• Consider nesting coffee tables or side tables for flexibility and layered design appeal.

🌿 4. Connect Indoors and Outdoors

One of the most jaw-dropping elements of the show? When homes are opened up to the garden with glass doors, pergolas, and seamless flooring. But even if your renovation budget doesn’t stretch that far, you can still get the effect with smart furniture choices and accessories.

Style guide:

• Use outdoor mirrors, planters, and faux olive trees to visually connect your living room and garden.

• Choose outdoor rugs and furniture that echo your indoor aesthetic.

• Add large indoor plants or fake plants near windows to soften transitions.

🛏️ 5. Multi-Functional Spaces

Flexibility is another hallmark of the show’s transformations—think hidden desks, fold-out beds, and dual-purpose rooms. Whether you work from home or need a guest-ready spare room, choosing the right furniture makes it easy.

Our picks:

• A console table that doubles as a desk or dressing table

• A storage bench at the end of the bed for both function and finish

• Modular sofas or sofa beds for adaptable living rooms

🎨 6. Bold Colours and Contrast

From deep navy kitchens to emerald green lounge walls, the show proves that colour can completely change the feel of a space. Designers aren’t afraid to go bold—and you shouldn’t be either.

Easy ways to introduce colour:

• Swap neutral cushions for burnt orange, mustard yellow, or teal this season.

• Add a statement armchair in velvet or boucle for contrast.

• Choose gold-framed mirrors or brass coffee tables for warmth and luxury.

💡 7. Minimalism That Works for Families

The show does an incredible job of delivering minimalist interiors that still feel liveable. This is all about hidden storage, clean lines, and durable finishes—not cold or empty spaces.

How to nail it:

• Choose a modern chest of drawers with push-close mechanisms.

• Use a coffee table with storage to keep clutter hidden.

• Stick to a cohesive colour palette with pops of greenery and texture.
