Back for the second consecutive year, Home Journal Awards 2021 continues to applaud outstanding design and designers.
To go through 41 years in the industry as the most trusted and authoritative bilingual media in the design and lifestyle sector is nothing short of easy. Which is why Home Journal is celebrating this achievement by honouring the most innovative, functional and practical interior design projects and brands, and most importantly, the tastemakers and creators behind them with the Home Journal Awards 2021.
Since inaugurated last year, the accolade has been a landmark event on every design aficionado’s calendar. Now in its second edition, an award ceremony was beautifully curated online to laud the creative concepts and the many homegrown talents in the design scene. As the market leader for more than four decades, Home Journal is committed as always to informing the trends and providing endless inspiration in our niche sector.
The winners of the 2021 edition showcases how essential our homes and living spaces are, and the importance of design and designers in every spectrum. Following last year's success, this year's awards are grouped into two main categories: "Best Brand Awards" and "Best Designer Awards" (including the much-anticipated "Most Popular Brand of the Year").
