A charming and practical three-volume mid-century domestic reference set, Ideal Home Householders’ Guide, published by Odhams Books Ltd., London in 1966 and printed in Holland. This attractive blue-bound set offers a comprehensive guide to managing and improving the home during the mid-20th century.

The set is divided into three practical volumes:
Volume 1 – Your Home and Garden explores home maintenance, garden planning, and outdoor living.
Volume 2 – Decorating and Furnishing covers interior design, furniture arrangement, colour schemes, and period decorating ideas.
Volume 3 – Home Management and Cookery focuses on household organisation, budgeting, and traditional cookery guidance.

Richly illustrated and written in a clear instructional style typical of the 1960s Ideal Home publications, the set provides a fascinating insight into domestic life and design during the mid-century period. Today it appeals both as a practical vintage reference and an attractive decorative set for bookshelf display.

A lovely addition for collectors of vintage homemaking books, mid-century lifestyle guides, or decorative book sets.
