Home furniture and furnishings search platform uFurnish.com announced the winners of its 2026 Home Awards on 19th October at the Kimpton Fitzroy Hotel in central London, recognising those who create and share their beautiful interiors and designs of their own home, including content creators, influencers, home innovators and bloggers.
The third year of the uFurnish.com Home Awards, in partnership with media partner Metro, received more than 1,400 entries, celebrating a wealth of UK interior design talent across 19 categories.
Astrid Dolan, a home interiors content creator and single mother with more than 75,000 Instagram followers, was crowned the Overall Public Vote Winner. Her nursery design captured the public’s attention with its "soft colour palette, layered textures and playful details".
Mum of two Jade Fish entered the Best Home category as a ‘wild card’ and says she never expected to reach the final, let alone beat four other finalists to win the accolade. As a new-build with oddly shaped walls, it was a blank canvas that she says needed vision and “a lot of love”.
