Home of the Year has returned to our screens for its eighth series with a brand new judge and some impressive interior design.

Looking for individuality, functionality and clever design, judges Hugh Wallace, Amanda Bone, and Sara Cosgrove will each score the homes out of 10 and the home with the highest combined score in each programme will go through to the final in April, where the winner will be crowned.

Over the coming weeks, a total of 21 homes across Ireland will compete for the prestigious title of 'Home of the Year' in 2022.


Padma and John Burke, Co. Wicklow
Padma, her husband John and their son live in a split-level home in Co. Wicklow.

The couple bought the property as a new build in November 2017 and upon moving in, they utilised the spacious garden by adding a gazebo as well as an annex with a playroom, gym and bar.

Padma designed the interiors of the home using bright colours, a range of textures and unusual pieces of décor, she describes the style as a mix of contemporary and modern with an Indian touch.

Home of the Year airs every Tuesday on RTÉ One at 8:30pm.
