Entries for the Homes & Gardens Global Design & Decoration Awards 2026 are now open!

This year brings an evolution of the awards structure. While more refined and streamlined, it continues to welcome the full breadth of work that has shaped the year.  We shine a spotlight on the very best furniture, lighting, textiles, wallpaper, paint and surfaces for the home and garden. We reveal the most beautiful kitchens and bathrooms, and celebrate the interior design projects, gardens, craft and contemporary collections that lit up the design world in 2026.
Each entry will be reviewed by a panel of industry-leading experts, including Homes & Gardens editors and external judges drawn from the worlds of interior design, architecture, product design, decoration, gardens and style. Together, they bring a breadth of perspective and a sharp editorial eye, looking for originality, creativity, craftsmanship, material intelligence and beautifully resolved design.

While the awards are organised around core categories, these are intended as helpful entry routes rather than rigid boundaries. Entrants will be able to select the area that best reflects their work, and the judges will consider each submission on its own merits. Above all, we are committed to recognising great design in all its forms, whether that means a standout product, a beautifully executed project, a fresh creative voice, or a collection that moves the conversation forward.

All shortlisted entries will be published on Homes & Gardens online, giving entrants huge visibility across our global digital platforms. The winning entries will also be featured in a dedicated print feature in the January 2027 issue of Homes & Gardens. All shortlisted entrants will be invited to a London event in November, where this year’s winners will be announced and celebrated alongside judges, editors and industry guests.

Shortlisted finalists and Winners will receive a Homes & Gardens Design Awards logo, free to use across marketing and communications. 

Whether you are a designer, brand, maker, architect, garden designer or design studio, this is an opportunity to have your work recognised and celebrated by Homes & Gardens’ global audience.
