Judging Homes: "A Simple Glance Reveals Residents' Household Details"

Rewritten Article:

Peer into the personal lives of strangers, that's what judges on Scotland's Home of the Year are all about! Anna Campbell-Jones, our savvy interior design judge, can often guess the homeowners just by stepping foot into their abode. It's a secret talent she's honed over time, and it leaves the homeowners in awe.

"Can you believe we don't actually meet the homeowners?" Anna shared in an interview with Reporting Scotland's News at Seven programme. "But they're always stunned when they find out. They think we know everything about them, and that's because we can deduce quite a bit from the place they live. That's exactly what we're looking for – a home that truly reflects the people living inside."

This year, Anna, along with her fellow judges, Banjo Beale and architect extraordinaire Danny Campbell, will be diving into homes filled with inspiration and originality. With the curtain drawn, they enter the competing houses clueless about who they're judging, adding an element of mystery to the competition.

"It's fascinating how much information about a person or family you can glean from their living space," she continued. "But it's not just about interior design. It's about capturing the essence of the people who live there."

Alongside Anna, Banjo Beale, an expert interior designer, and the architect Danny Campbell bring their unique perspectives to the judging table, ensuring that only the most exceptional homes make it to the top. Tune in and join the journey as Scotland's most stylish panel unveils the homes that truly reflect the Scottish spirit.
