The Real Homes Home and Garden of the Year awards have now closed, but there's plenty more excitement to come as we choose the shortlist.
Every shortlisted project will have their home featured in the magazine, and the winners will be revealed in the January 2020 issue of Real Homes.
Not only will the winner of the Home of the Year win £1,000 in John Lewis Vouchers, and the Garden of the Year £500 in vouchers, but the winner of each category will also receive a year's subscription to Real Homes magazine.
Can't wait for the big reveal? Read more about last year's winners below.
Meet last year's winners...
When it comes to extending on a budget, Jade Doutch leads by example with her beautiful kitchen-diner. The way she whittled a bright open-plan space out of a series of small rooms impressed our judges so much that they awarded Jade best extension - and the grand prize.
Jade Rodrigues and her husband took on a run-down Victorian house with zero DIY knowledge and a modest budget, creating a dramatic, bold home that wowed our judges in the process and won her the best renovation award.
Clever use of homemade pieces, second-hand buys and upcycled furniture led Ellie and Adam Tildelsey's bright, welcoming home to win our best home makeover award.
After saving up for years, Kath Pinkham-Edwards and her husband Vivian created their kitchen of dreams, packed with pattern, colour and bold copper accents.
Refined, glamorous and luxurious spring to mind when we look at Peter Grech's beautiful bathroom - and last year's judges agreed.
