Celebrating 105 years of Ideal Home - 7 snapshots from Ideal Home's archives, from pivotal moments to one very well-known Food Editor

A grid of Ideal Home magazine covers from the past 100 years.

Ideal Home has been a mainstay of the newsstand for longer than you might think, with 105 years of publishing history. First issued in 1920, the magazine and subsequent website have charted over a century of British interiors and gardens news, advice and house tours.

With that kind of longevity, it's no surprise that the magazine's archives are a nostalgic goldmine. Acting as a confidant for several generations of homeowners, renters and renovators, there's essentially no trend our pages and website haven't covered.
