BBC Northern Ireland has launched a new search for the second series of House of the Year. Nicola and Angus Waddington’s (pictured left) Arts and Crafts-inspired house in Donaghcloney picked up this year’s overall title, House Of The Year 2010.
The judging panel will be looking for living spaces of every shape and style. Size isn’t important, it’s about how you’ve used the space, inside and out, and whether or not it feels like a home.
The series will feature homes across Northern Ireland, presented by Laurence Llewelyn Bowen, a man who really knows a thing or two when it comes to fabulous design.
Laurence Llewelyn Bowen said: “Where you live says so much about who you are, how you feel about yourself and how you’d like to be seen by other people. This is a fabulous opportunity to show off just how good you are at home making. We’ll be looking for homes that ooze personality and idiosyncratic charm, and who knows there might even be marks off for magnolia.”
Feargal O’Kane, series producer, added: “There are some amazing homes in Northern Ireland as we saw in series one. Once again this is a fantastic opportunity to show off them off to other homeowners throughout Northern Ireland. It’s a rare chance to have a top designer like Laurence Llewelyn Bowen visit, along with our industry experts, and whether or not you win you’ll definitely get something out of the experience.”
