I voted for the Hall and Entrance in Wicklow by Tilestyle for a few reasons. It's a striking image which looks deceptively simple but which in reality I would judge is hard to achieve. The classic black and white floor tiles are cleverly bisected by a crisp shadow giving extra depth and dimension to the floor. I Ike that the photographer included the shadow and didn't choose to overly manipulate the natural light in the source by removing the shadow. The predominantly white backdrop for the tiles was cleverly broken up by three coloured items which lead your eye through the space and thus avoid the "where should I look first" feeling that some of the other shots convey and therefore showcase their product - the floortiles- perfectly. I get a great sense of a clean space that allows you to breathe and a fresh welcome from the hallway in this image. A smart space that any homeowner would be proud to have as the first impression of their home. Great job Tilestyle.

I like the hamajima takuya vases, I find a lot of Japanese pottery is timeless, it goes equally well with antiques or contemporary themes, elegance is a prerequisite for a Japanese potter.

Hi Andrea Brooks We can totally understand your dilemma - ‘Magnolia’ is certainly not for everyone! Different colours can evoke different moods and feelings, so don’t limit yourself to one colour throughout your whole house. Dark moody tones work brilliantly in bedrooms, and have been proven to help induce better sleep. Our favourite at the moment is Dulux’s Denim Drift. Bright, fresh colours are great for kitchens, and for creating a lively happy atmosphere. I love Dulux Coral Canyon which is really uplifting. Finally, dusted blues and greens have amazing calming qualities, and are fantastic for any rooms you want to relax and unwind in. Dulux Dusted Moss is a beautiful, versatile colour that will suit most styles of property, either traditional or modern. If you are cautious about using colour, why not introduce it slowly through your accessories, or as a feature wall, as these can be easily updated and replaced. Good luck and we would love to see the results. Hannah Dulux Amazing Space www.designer.duluxamazingspace.co.uk

For me, it was a hard pick between the open plan kitchen and the staircase but if I had to go with one, I'd side with the kitchen. The deep teal and pale blue units pair beautifully and tie with the splashback, and vases. The added gold accents in handles, vase and tap adds some lovely metallic colour to the scheme which looks oh, so good with the teal. And finally, I love how the door frame co-ordinates with the light fitting and the socket on the island with the ovens. Superb, daring yet effective combinations!!!

I voted for 'A cabin in the Woods' as it is cosy, cute, comfortable, calm and classic with clean lines and quirky furnishings. It's not crying out for attention but is seductive and subtle in it's homely decoration, detailing and design. As an Irish person, I know we NEED all the cosiness and comfort we can get!!!

Cabin in the woods for me, the use of space is amazing. A little window seat above the blocks of wood for the stove is just very clever, I could see how a lot of people would have just put a basket for the logs there and it would have been wasted space. This simple but effective use of space is what stands out to me and makes this my favourite.

I love the Kingston design . it combines colours in a cozy, elegant and modern - practical way ; the stairs blend in effortlessly and make me wonder if they are real ( am sure they are and I think that they are great for selfies or group photos ). The colours in the kitchen are great , the colourful plates on the wall , the tiles are like art and the open space is just amazing . The garden , which makes me think of Italy or Spain, looks like an invitation to relax . Great use of furniture and colours , overall it has that va va voom effect to me.

Voted for hallway in Wicklow. Clean lines, bright space, love the window height in line with stairs. Great colour choice on the walls. Inspired choices, love this.

Cabin in the woods looks so cosy, ideal for family life. The decorations make it look both clean and spacious but also cosy which is perfect for a family. The views of the outdoors through the windows merely add to the impression of indoors outdoors living while the logs demonstrate how warm and cosy it would be inside when it's wet, cold and windy outside.

My vote is for the 'Hall and Entrance in Wicklow'. The beautiful marble floor tiles together with the choice of contemporary greys bring light and a freshness, complimenting the stunning window, staircase and lovely original (?) ceiling in the hall. An inspired balance where the new breathes life into the old without taking anything away. Love it.

Love the TileStyle hall entrance in Wicklow. You just can't go wrong with a classic like those black and white tiles. This look is so fresh and encompasses a real sense of space and openness. I adore the contrasting light and dark paints on the opposing walls not to mind the clever internal window to allow light through. Very clever, well thought out design and one of my favourite hall entrances for sure :)

I really like the design I this cabin room. It is so accessible, I'm looking at the softly gathered curtins, the white painted floorboards and panelling and thinking of how I could get this look in my own home. There are clean lines and great design features but not at the expense of comfort.

This looks like a room for people- children, dogs, cats, friends and family (and stylists).

Cabin in the Woods - Perfection from the open rafters painted white to give the illusion of height and space to the painted floorboards - and everything in between - the simple furniture and clean sharp decor - the wonderful windows taking in the woodland setting and the curtains for closing on a winter night to relax with stove lit and a good book (optional glass of wine) - sheer happiness and this is the living room picture I have in my head for the past number of years - for when my dreams come true and I finally get to build my dream home. Perfection :)

I love the cabin in the woods, its a intimate setting where you are drawn to the outside whilst keeping snug indoors. The use of fabrics sets it apart from the usual cold designs of other modern rooms. The attention detail in the selection of furniture pieces keeps it modern yet functional.

Cabin in the woods. Love the mix of comfort, style without being over styled, luxury and luxurious touches in every room, use of local products /pieces/work people. Cohesive overview sense of connection to place and outdoors and its past. Truly inspired.
