Each week on RTÉ Lifestyle, we'll be giving Home of the Year fans a chance to re-visit three competitors' homes from the comfort of their own couch the morning after the show has aired. You can watch the full episode back on RTÉ Player.
The series this year features a diverse mix of homes including converted mills, a converted schoolhouse, apartments, bespoke architectural new builds, re-imagined cottages and bungalows, DIY homes, restored period homes and vernacular buildings.
On last night's episode, we got a peek inside Lydia Mudge's home...
Lydia Mudge, Co. Antrim
Lydia Mudge is lucky to live in a converted mill apartment in Co. Antrim.
It was in good condition when she bought it in 2018 and it was a blank canvas with the colour magnolia on every wall.
The 1800s mill was used as a cotton mill, then moved to manufacture linen and was converted into apartments in 2003.
Lydia loves colour and expressing her personality through décor.
She describes her style as eclectic, industrial with mid-century touches.
Lydia decorated her home herself. Her dad has built several pieces of furniture that she helped to design (coffee table, coat rack, box seating in the nook and loft bed and more!).
One of the big changes was to add the loft bed in the spare room to add more floor space.
Lydia loves the exposed brick, the high ceilings and windows.
Tune into Home of the Year on Tuesdays on RTÉ One at 8.30pm.
