UKTV Bright Ideas (previously known as UK Bright Ideas and originally UK HomeStyle) was a digital television channel broadcast in the United Kingdom which was part of the UKTV family of channels. The channel broadcast a variety of programmes, often originally aired on UKTV Style, UKTV Food and UKTV Gardens, and are thus mainly cookery, DIY and gardening. However, in January 2005, it began showing programmes branded by UKTV Sport, presumably to increase potential audience figures by extending the programme to Freeview viewers.

Bright Ideas was launched on 15 January 2003 initially for the Freeview digital terrestrial television platform, but later expanded to other platforms. Along with the rest of the UKTV network, the "UK" prefix was changed to "UKTV" on 8 March 2004 and it became UKTV Bright Ideas.

The channel was available on digital terrestrial television (Freeview), Sky Digital and Virgin Media.

In September 2007 UKTV announced that UKTV Bright Ideas, which only averaged 0.1% of the audience share, would be replaced on Freeview by UKTV G2, renamed 'Dave', as of 15 October.
