RTE Home of the Year viewers all in agreement 'cosy' home deserved 'big fat 10'

Home of the Year returned to screens on Tuesday evening as judges Hugh Wallace, Amanda Bone and Sara Cosgrove celebrate the creativity and individuality of homeowners around the country.

The first home of the night belonged to John and Kasha, who live in an eco-minded self-build home in Clare with their daughter. Judges adored the “contemporary” home, scoring it high. Sara Cosgrove gave the couple a nine, saying the home had a “wonderful aesthetic and is nestled in its surroundings. The main palette of finishes is consistent throughout.”

The couple fell in love with the three-bed semi-detached house and knew they could create their dream home. They gutted the whole house and gardens and designed a layout that works best for their family, creating a five-bed and five-bath energy-efficient home. Sara Cosgrove said: “The exterior palette of this home reflects the tonal and textural interior. The playroom and kid’s bedroom are really lovely rooms full of magical details, however, the layout of the main bedroom feels compromised to me.” She gave the home an eight.

When they bought their home, they had some internal renovations to complete, such as removing plaster to expose the original brickwork and levelling the floor in the great room. “The homeowners have added in their quirky design style through their upcycled furniture and stunning artwork.” However, he added there needed to be more “soft textures and large rugs”. He scored the home an eight.

“I feel the approach to the furniture and fixtures and the main living and kitchen are effortless and full of personality.”
