In the search of the 2025 Home of the Year, judges Hugh Wallace, Amanda Bone, and Siobhan Lam have visited some exceptionally beautiful homes from across the country, giving viewers a peek inside some fabulous sites.
The final will air on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player at 8.30pm on Tuesday, 8 April, but in the meantime, you can take a peek inside the seven finalists' homes.
Ep 1: Claire & Seán Fox, Tipperary
Claire and Seán live in Tipperary in a former shop which they have turned into a home. Originally built in the 1860s, the couple purchased the home in 2020, getting stuck into renovations the following year and creating a layout which suited them.
They kept as much as possible from the old building, repurposing dressers, wardrobes and the original spindles from the shop. Claire worked with her dad, a retired engineer, to adapt a lot of the furniture, including making a backsplash from the copper water cylinder and turning a bunkbed into kitchen cabinets.
The couple love how comfortable they feel in the home and are proud of the effort they put into every part of it.
Ep 2: Lynne Clarke & Nick Drew, Wicklow
Lynne and Nick live in Wicklow with their young daughter and dog. Their home, built in 1862, was formerly a nursing home which had been left vacant for nearly a decade. The couple bought the house in 2022 and with it, took on a massive project.
Over the next two years an extensive renovation took place where they demolished the entire rear, built an extension, replaced all windows with appropriate period style sash windows whilst retaining any original features they could.
The family also worked hard to bring the entire house up to a BER A3 rating.
Ep 3: 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 two-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.
Ep 4: Amy & Eoin Martin, Limerick
Amy and Eoin live in Limerick with their two sons. The couple fell in love with this 1970s house and set to work completely gutting and renovating the home and bringing it from a D3 BER rating to an A3.
The property is an upside down home with the main living and kitchen on the first floor making the most of their gorgeous garden and the natural light.
The home is a passion project for Amy, an interior designer, who loves having the space to unleash her creativity and is always in the middle of a project in the house.
Ep 5: Roisin Collins & Matteo Bandiera, Dublin
Roisin and Matteo live with their two sons in Dublin. The couple bought their 1930s home in 2020 and began refurbishments, tackling it in stages over the next few years and turning it into their dream family home. They were a great team as Roisin, an architect, designed the renovations while Matteo is handy at DIY.
They worked hard to redesign the layout and maximise space and got interior influence from their mid-century furniture and the Scandinavian design style with their focus being on clean lines and the use of natural materials and textures to add warmth.
The family love the fact that their home makes them happy every time they come in the front door and that it has allowed them to be creative.
Ep 6: Mary Phelan & Aiden Fitzpatrick, Dublin
Mary and Aiden live in this period home in Dublin. The couple purchased the property in 2005 and undertook extensive renovations, doing most of the work themselves over a four-year period.
Mary says she brings the creative ideas which Aiden turns into reality. The couple always aspired to own and renovate an old house, and while this was a huge labour of love, 20 years on they still love everything about their home and what they've achieved.
Ep 7: Vivian Wong McKendry & Philip McKendry, Kildare
Vivian and Philip live in Co Kildare with their three dogs. During the height of the Covid pandemic, the couple moved into an empty shell of a house - no kitchen, no flooring, not even a functional bathroom.
After eight long months their redesign began, with the two having worked hard on design plans and the layout, completely changing the internal function of the house.
Vivian and Philip went for a contemporary mid-century style, creating a cohesive yet visually stimulating aesthetic throughout the house. Although the build was time-consuming for the couple, it was all worth it, as they created the show stopping home they had always envisioned.
