Scotland’s Home of the Year 2021

The home of interior stylist Karen Welstead was crowned the winner of 2021’s Scotland’s Home of the Year in the finale of the BBC Scotland series. Unanimously named Scotland’s Home of the Year by all the judges – renowned interior designer Anna Campbell-Jones, lifestyle blogger Kate Spiers and architect Michael Angus – the home beat off stiff competition from eight other finalists from locations across Scotland including Castle Douglas, Skye, St Andrews, Ayr, Dunblane, Shetland, Edinburgh and Inverness.

Karen Welstead and her husband Matt completely renovated the house since buying it in 2018. The renovation took a year, beautifully transforming the house into a family home.

Sitting on 26 acres of land, the unique home features a grand kitchen with a pink Aga cooker with French doors leading to a vast garden, a bright and bold games room, stunning dining room, a drawing room, six bedrooms and bathrooms and walk-in changing room.

After her home won the coveted title, the interior stylist told Scottish Housing News: “It has been a surreal experience. Filming took place in one afternoon and then we put it out of our minds until the final was filmed. It was amazing to win but then we all went home and didn’t talk about it for months. Now, watching all of the amazing homes on the show it is actually quite overwhelming!

“In a year of lockdowns and very sad and worrying times it was a really lovely wee highlight for us. Plus, it meant we tidied the house thoroughly which is always a bonus!

“I absolutely love Scotland’s Home of the Year. It is a chance to sneak a look at other real homes but it gives the viewer a sense of the diversity of Scotland: our fellow Scots, the landscape around which we build our homes and what inspires us. All of the homes have been a joy to watch – there is something lovely about seeing the pride, love and humour that goes into creating a home.”
