From House to Home is the show where property dealer Sarah Beeny teams up with eco-friendly designer Oliver Heath to explain the best ways to transform ordinary houses into stylish homes, room by room.

Thanks to the myriad of makeover shows that have invaded out screens over the last few years, we all know the ins and outs of creating a Mediterranean kitchen, a minimalist bathroom or a French boudoir bedroom.

But what if you don't want your home to look like a theme park? What if you just want it to look gorgeous?

This acclaimed series follows property developer Sarah Beeny, leading interior designer Oliver Heath and acclaimed garden designer Andy Surgeon as they go about transforming a typical semi-detached house from an empty shell into a stylish and practical family home over the course of eight weeks.

But From House To Home is not about DIY or flashy makeovers. Instead, it's an indispensable step-by-step guide to the basic rules of design - from what colour to paint your bathroom to the most effective way to light your kitchen to the golden rules on buying a sofa.
