Never before have we been so invested in our homes as we are now. Holed up inside for the past year, we’ve realised how important our space is to our wellbeing, and how everything, even the smallest details, can make a difference, from the wallpaper in our eyeline, to the chair we curl up in to relax, to the way we style a table to make yet another meal at home feel special. Which is why we’re holding our first Interiors Awards – to recognise the products that have got us through multiple lockdowns or are bringing us joy now.

The categories range from decorative pieces that have the ability to instantly elevate a room to the more practical ones that help make life easier or more comfortable – but still look fabulous. Recognising that it can be tricky to compare a mass-produced product with something bespoke, we’ve evaluated high-street and designer pieces separately.

Much of the judging was done by the Grazia team but, for our first five categories, we asked interiors broadcaster Laura Jackson and fashion designer Rejina Pyo, known for her discerning interiors eye, to help. So, drum roll please, without further ado, we introduce you to our judges...

Laura Jackson is a broadcaster and tastemaker and founder of the popular food and lifestyle brand HOSTE which has its own podcast, HOSTEing with Laura Jackson.

Rejina Pyo launched her eponymous fashion label in 2014 and is known for her puff-shouldered midi-dresses and easy-to-wear separates that come with an out-of-the-ordinary twist. She also has a great interiors eye.

Zig Zag candlesticks by Jermaine Gallacher

Made of steel and in six bright colours, these candlesticks by super-cool interiors and product designer Jermaine are, says Laura, 'an original statement design. And I love the '80s factor.' Rejina was impressed by their weight and durability. 'And against the wall they make beautiful lines,' she says. £300 each

Toppu ceramics by OYOY Living Design

Rejina loves the graphic element of these pieces. 'They have such a clean silhouette and the matte finish is unusual too,' she says. For Laura, it's also the combination of 'high street with a contemporary designer element'. Vase £58, tray, from £70.99

Marbelized wallpaper by Beata Heuman

The almost feathery, marbelized look of this paper by the in-demand interior designer is tricky to make which is reflected in the price - but the judges reckon it's worth it for it's chic and beautiful design. 'It feels unique, not just mass manufactured,' says Regina. Laura would use it anywhere in the home. 'Even using just a small amount, on a cupboard panel fir example, would elevate a space,' she says. £84 per linear metre.

Seoni Paste the Wall wallpaper by John Lewis & Partners

Both judges were impressed by the quality and price. 'The old-style illustration and detailing feels designer so it's good value,' says Rejina. Laura loves that the design is 'elevated by gold, giving it another dimension'. £40 per 10m roll!

Flow by Ferm Living

Great shapes and a semi-matte glaze create a modern set of tableware. 'You can use it for serious food because it won't overwhelm what you're serving on it,' says Rejina. Laura likes that 'it looks hand-made but feels robust to use everyday.' From £19 for a mug,

The Elite Mattress from Brook + Wilde

We're fans of its snugglesome feel and super-comfiness (2500 pocket springs, multiple memory foam layers), and that we can choose from soft, medium and firm and, for partners who sleep differently, a combo of the two in one mattress. But we also love that for every mattress sold, this British company plants a tree, there is zero landfill from old mattresses (everything is re-purposed) and packaging is recyclable. From £899.

Hepworth chair by Love Your Home

We love the curvy shape that feels so very right for now – snug and comforting, it's a chair we never want to get out of! It's available in many different fabrics and colours and you can even change the legs so it feels almost bespoke. From £1193

Brea chair by Anthropologie

'With fringing and other decorative elements, the Brea adds a real sense of fun to a room. It's also super-cosy to sit in which is another reason it gets our vote.' Also in neutral and a gingham red, £998.

Anthropologie

We love Anthropologie for its personality-packed collections that delight us with the kind of pieces we never see anywhere else, whether it be tableware, a statement cushion or even door handles to style up a kitchen. Their collaborations with both established and up-and-coming designers in brilliant too.

Matilda Goad

We've fallen for Matilda's whimsical pieces that are so full of colour and joy and give the everyday a quirky twist. From her scalloped napkins, rainbow cutlery and tartan breakfastware – she's made a toast rack cool! - to shell vases, planters and her just launched pleated brass lampshade, we want it all. Brass lamp, from £175, jug, £75, planter, from £65, napkins, £65 for 4.

Ardingly cabinet by Neptune

In painted tulipwood and darkened oak, the Ardingly's chic looks blew us away. But it's practical and ultra-versatile too – a pantry, drinks cabinet, or bedroom storage. Available in many colours and finishes. From £1635

ANYDAY Ridge cabinet by John Lewis & Partners

This won our vote for nailing two trends, the fluted look and bamboo, with a glossy frame and an affordable price tag. There are adjustable shelves and it wasn't difficult to put together. Available in neutral and a deep blue, £199.

The White Company

There is something about fluffy, fresh white towels that we can't resist and those from The White Company are the ones we want to be enveloped in when we step out of the bath. Made from 700GSM twisted Egyptian-cotton Terry, they are super-soft to touch and give us a little bit of luxury every day. From £4.

Ceramics from Granby Workshop

Kudos to this Liverpool-based workshop that has not only helped regenerate its local community, but in making it pared back but quietly elegant dinnerware, it uses stone, glass and ceramic waste. The impact of Covid has seen them scale back their products – we're gutted to lose the splattware platter – but we love the encaustic tiles too. From £20

The Edition 94

It's impossible not to want everything from this carefully curated shop and website whether it be the twisted candlesticks that went viral, scalloped placemats, glassware, mirrors and more.

It's a fave for its paint, tiles, wallpaper, flooring, tools and expert help. Not only DIY, we rate its home- office range, stylish but affordable kitchens and lighting, too.

George Home

We love its wide range of homeware that's always on trend - perfect for decor pick-me-up update. And we can't not mention the garden chairs which will elevate any garden but are affordable too.
