Home of the Year is back with a new episode and more home inspiration, with judges Hugh Wallace, Amanda Bone, and new addition Siobhan Lam sizing up three more stunning homes.
This year's series will deliver a fresh batch of stunning houses every Tuesday, celebrating creativity, individuality, and clever design in homes across the country.
On last night's episode, viewers got a tour through a red brick Irish cottage in Wicklow, a clever new-build in Dublin, and a self-build in Carlow.
Click through the gallery above to get a peek inside this week's homes.
Clive Restan, Wicklow
Clive lives in a former fisherman and dockers cottage in Wicklow, which was just a burnt-out shell when he purchased it in 2021.
Clive knew exactly what he wanted from his home: New York loft meets Irish cottage. It was important to him to restore it allowing the true craftmanship of its original construction to shine through. The stone and brick walls were peeled back and lovingly restored. He wanted the building to do the talking without being overpowered by modern interference, almost to look like it hasn't been designed at all. He injected new life into it along with the conscious decision to create an analogue home in a digital age.
Clive has fully restored the cottage with immense attention to detail whilst preserving the history of the building and allowing it to do the talking, sourcing unique items to compliment the industrial patinated aesthetic, such as rowing oars from the 1850s and lights from an old theatre.
Jenny Anne Corkery, Dublin
Jenny Anne lives in this contemporary new build in Dublin with her husband and two children.
Passionate about wanting to build her own A-Rated home, Jenny Anne jumped at the new build. The design makes use of a site previously containing a derelict garage structure to the rear of an existing property, subdividing a single plot into two dwellings.
Their home displays a novel approach to city living as it is a 2-bedroom infill dwelling on a very restricted site that is designed to provide generosity and great comfort to its owners.
The family love the clever design and how it allows for every corner of the dwelling to be used efficiently and practically.
Gemma & Martin Purcell, Carlow
Gemma and Martin live in Co. Carlow with their three children, in a home they built in 2023.
With a a background in design, Gemma was very passionate about taking on the job of building their own home. For the self-build, she worked closely with their architect and builder on the plans and building design. She really enjoyed designing the fit-out and interiors throughout the house.
Gemma was heavily influenced by Scandinavian design as she loves a simple, functional and warm decorating style, which mixes neutral colours, and natural woods with simple lines to create a fresh and cosy aesthetic.
The couple love the sense of light and space throughout the home and how it works well for their kids.
