Next year's Ideal Home Show (IHS) will include a new "mini show" featuring the best in domestic gadgets, according to reports.
Lee Newton, managing director of IHS organiser Media 10, told Event magazine that the 2011 exhibition will include more technology "than ever before".
He added there will also be new content covering
home improvements, gardens and interior design, as well as "a host of interactive features".
Elsewhere, the IHS has confirmed its line-up of celebrity experts for 2011.
It includes
gardener Diarmuid Gavin, design guru Linda Barker, MasterChef's Gregg Wallace and architect George Clarke, presenter of Channel 4's The Home Show.
Last year's IHS saw the event record its biggest attendance in a decade, with 250,000 people passing through the doors of Earls Court during its 17-day run.
The 2011 show will open on 11th March.
