The store features a Dulux Paint Desk which offers a paint mixing service and also sells paint from Homebase, Crown, Farrow & Ball, ELLE Decoration and Craig & Rose.
It will also stock House Beautiful and Country Living wallpaper, furniture and home accessories as part of Homebase’s partnership with publisher Hearst UK.
Meanwhile, the 12,500sq ft garden centre will offer a range of plants, pots, garden care products, outdoor furniture, spas and barbecues.
Homebase previously operated two stores in Cheltenham between 1993 and 2019.
“I’m really proud that we’re returning to Cheltenham and our brilliant store team is ready to welcome customers old and new, bringing them the products, style and advice they need to complete any home or garden project,” Homebase retail director Grant Anderson said.
“This store looks completely different to those we’ve had in the town in the past – it’s designed to make shopping with us easier than ever.
“From clever QR codes that show customers how to recreate the look in their own homes to the helpful advice our team can offer, we’re ready to inspire the local community.”

After closing how many of it’s stores? It’s just closed one in my local area.
Was there really any reason to be wearing muzzles in that photo apart from virtual signalling, I will never wear one as I have cs common sense…I don’t want to starve my brain of oxygen and get lung cancer but it seems plenty of people do…
Looks like it has been starved already if that’s the best you can come up with .
