Scotland's Home of the Year: What Judges Seek
6 Apr
Summary
- Judges seek homes that are lived in and loved, not just styled sets.
- The show's eighth series begins on Monday.
- Judges value originality and inspiration in competing houses.
The eighth series of Scotland's Home of the Year is set to premiere on Monday. Judge Banjo Beale, an interior designer based on the Isle of Mull, has expressed his preference for homes that feel authentically "lived in and loved."
Beale stated he looks for properties that are "storied and styled" and serve as a "self-portrait of its owner," rather than a sterile, set-like environment. He believes these characteristics are crucial for a home to be considered inspiring.
The show features Beale alongside designer Anna Campbell-Jones and architect Danny Campbell. They visit competing homes without knowing who resides there, a feature that often surprises viewers. Their objective is to judge these spaces based on their originality and the inspiration they provide.
