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.
Kate and Shane Byrne, Wicklow
Kate, her husband Shane and their son, live in a 150-year-old farmhouse with modern extension in Co Wicklow.
The property has been in Shane's family for decades but when they moved in, in 2018, they knocked through all the smaller rooms and added an extension to create an open plan living space with lots of natural light.
The family love the sense of history in their home and that their son is the 4th generation of Byrne to grow up there and that, in time, it’ll be a place for his own family.
