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.
Martin and Saoirse O’Dwyer, Sligo
Martin and Saoirse live in a renovated 1870’s cottage with barrel roof extension in Sligo along with their twin boys.
In 2014 they were on the look-out for a coastal family home when they came across a cottage in need of renovation by the sea in Sligo. They turned the dwelling into a family home and later added a barrel roof extension with an upstairs open plan area that is situated to make the most of the front facing coastal views.
The interiors were decorated by Saoirse in an eclectic style and combine the antique furnishings in the original dwelling with modern furniture in the new extension.
The couple love the old cottage which is full of history and how the modern extension is full of light.
Home of the Year airs every Tuesday on RTÉ One at 8:30pm.
