The Homes & Gardens House Tours took place over two days, Thursday 10 and Friday 11 October 2019, in Fulham, southwest London. Once inside the houses, ticket holders were able to explore them at their leisure, picking up plenty of design and decorating tips along the way.
Here are some of our favourite highlights from the event, which was sponsored byThomas Sanderson,Roger Oates,Yves Delorme andHeals.

For further inspiration, ticket holders were also given the chance to book a place on one of our workshops. Here they picked up some practical tips from one of our decorating experts on how to brighten up your home. The workshops were held on both days.
