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.
Niamh and James Peare, Dublin
Niamh Peare, an architect and interior designer, and James, an engineer, and their two daughters live in a 1970's home with modern refurbishment in Dublin.
The home originally had small rooms and was quite dark internally, so they carried out a complete refurbishment using custom-built furniture to provide a consistent connection with nature and introduced biophilic materials, textures and patterns.
Niamh and James feel that the importance of a healthy home is more relevant than ever, and, as such, the couple wanted to create an interior that was flexible with a multipurpose family home and workplace.
They love that they’ve created a healthy, happy family home that promotes their well-being.
