WINNER OF RTÉ ONE’S HOME OF THE YEAR 2025 ANNOUNCED
Amy & Eoin Martin have lifted the coveted Home of the Year 2025 trophy for their 1970s home in Limerick.
In tonight’s final on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player, the three judges Hugh Wallace, Amanda Bone and Siobhan Lam recapped the seven stunning finalists of the eleventh series of Home of the Year and announced Amy & Eoin as this year’s winners.
The couple fell in love with this 1970s built 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 spectacular 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! The family never feel blue coming back from a holiday as, for them, it’s the nicest place they could return to.
Judge Hugh Wallace said: “I love the 70s and this home was like Brady bunch amazing colours and connection with a stunning garden. Brilliant winner”
Judge Amanda Bone said: “Series 11 was a pleasure to be part of. Among the five series I have been involved in, it stood out for having the most competitive, emotionally charged, and challenging final to judge. This intensity was a testament to the standard of homes showcased in this year’s competition.”
Judge Siobhan Lam said: “I’m absolutely thrilled the Modern 1970’s home is the winner of Home of the Year season 11. This home radiates joy and it’s a perfect representation of the homeowners, you could see their love and dedication to this home everywhere. From the warm, vibrant colour palette to the delicious retro details throughout – this home ticked all the boxes. I’m so delighted for Amy and Eoin – well deserved winners! My first season on Home of the Year has been an absolute joy! I have loved peeking into this season’s sensational homes with my fellow judges, it’s been a real honour to explore these beautiful, cleverly designed and creative Irish homes – I’ve found the season fun, exciting and incredibly inspirational.”
