Scotlands Home of the Year 2022

Sounds great. Where and when is this on please?

.You'll get it on catchup its a BBC programme on BBC Scotland and maybe BBC2 ,Its not a Grand Design type show ,its peoples homes they live in all size and styles .Well worth a watch.

Thanks for the heads up paddyann. I didn’t know it was on again.

Thanks paddyann54 Real homes will be a refreshing change. I'll look it out.

Oh, I missed it - thought it was tonight! Thank goodness for iPlayer. Thanks paddyann54.

The houses were absolutely gorgeous. It was my favourite that won too. I still can't stand the man though! I find him smug.

Thoroughly enjoyed it - in my neck of the woods for the first episode. Glad they kept the judges and the format the same.

I absolutely loved it. So good to see real houses that people live in for a change. Very inspired to do more to my own house and garden now.

Ooh, just watched this - what a lovely programme - thanks for the heads up. And the winner in the first episode was such a delightful place!

The wee dovecote house was just too much of everything ...for me .I'd go nuts with all that clutter.I did appreciate the effort and love that went into it though .Looking forward to the rest of the series ,I always think 6 episodes isn't enough

I love SHOTY. But I can’t stand the three judges, so always watch it with the sound off and sub-titles on. I really wish they’d take their shoes off when they go in, the wee cottage had a lovely cream rug. I, too, am pleased that my favourite won.

paddyann54 There was ten episodes last year.

I was just about to start a thread about this but thankfully I did a search first (mainly to double check that I hadn’t already started one!) and was wondering who it was that first recommended the programme because I wanted to thank them (thanks paddyanne!). I absolutely love the series, not just for seeing such beautiful houses but also for the lovely banter between the three judges. The only downside is that the whole of my living area could probably fit into one of the rooms in most of the houses! And it gets me wanting to get the chalk paint out again having sworn to never paint anything ever again. It was lovely seeing the Edinburgh homes the other night as last time I was in Edinburgh I made my way to the gallery of modern art so walked through parts of new town. Can’t wait to go back to Edinburgh again. It’s head and shoulders above all of the other programmes of it’s kind, especially after the BBC’s great home makeover series morphed into something really tacky.

I gave up on this programme as I found the presenters so irritating! DH was always shouting at the screen at some nonsense they were coming out with so we just banned it from our TV.

One of the 'Edinburgh' homes wasn't actually in Edinburgh itself, but just a few hundred yards from where I live, and is a lovely home.

I love it too! I just ignore the presenters, it's the homes I want to see. Some people have such a flair fo interior design.

Ispend a lot of my time changing and upgrading things ,just because I enjoy it .Programmes like this are great ,much better than Grand designs which seems very formatted.The fact these are homes already lived in makes all the difference,to me,
This weeks were all lovely but I preferred no 3 .

I hadn’t realised it was a brand new series so I think there may be earlier episodes that I haven’t seen. I often watch earlier series as well. And I haven’t seen the Christmas one properly as I nodded off when I watched it. I love the presenters; they’re all so different but work so well together. I actually feel that I want to be there with them chatting away. It’s been one of those lockdown programmes that has made me feel connected to the outside world.

What did everyone think of the winning house? I loved it, but then I loved quite a few of this year’s entries.

I liked the winning house. I liked that it was just an ordinary house made into a home by what the owner had done to it. And he seemed like such a down-to-earth man!

I absolutely loved the house too, because it was a reflection of the person who lived there. I was so pleased for him, when he won.
I felt some of the entries were more show homes, than anything else.

My favourites were the winner and th Rhu Boat house ,I'd have been happy with either winning .I'm not a fan of huge houses with massive windows so a few this year ,although beautifully decorated just weren't my style.
The thing about the winner that impressed me was that almost everything was made by the owner.He said if I want a painting for that space ,I paint one .
I always enjoy this programme ,I love nosing through houses

I’ve not read the last few posts as I fell asleep watching it last night so I’m going to watch it now. I was really sad to read that the male presenters son died suddenly at the age of 6. As well as being a lecturer and an architect he writes books and has done many long distance hikes to raise money for charity. Before I fell asleep the houses I saw made me realise how difficult it’s going to be to pick the winner. I do sometimes wonder where people keep things like mops and buckets and where they dry their washing. And some houses make me wonder how they keep on top of the dusting. Or why, when they have lots of windows, they don’t spend all their lives cleaning the bird poo off them….

Maybee, I think they must have a huge storage unit, where they hide everything before filming!
