There’s design, and then there’s good design. Every year, Domino editors pore over hundreds of products to unearth the very best in home furnishings, from flexible furniture to scene-stealing lighting and smart appliances, and 2025 is no different. Here’s everything you need to know to submit your newest launches for the chance to be featured in our annual celebration.
About the Domino Good Design Awards
The very first Domino Good Design Awards debuted in 2022 to recognize the year’s very best home products. Our eagle-eyed team of editors discuss, deliberate, and sometimes hotly debate our favorites across a variety of categories, from furniture to fixtures. And for 2025, we’ve redefined and expanded those categories to encompass a wider range of products.
What are we looking for? As always, form and functionality, high-quality craftsmanship, and innovativeness in the category—essentially, a product that makes life easier (or at least more fun!) and looks good while doing it.
2025 Domino Good Design Award Submission Guidelines
First, read our Privacy Policy.
Multi-Winner Categories (Furniture: 10 Winners; All Other Categories: 5 Winners Each)
- Furniture: Sofas, chairs, tables, credenzas, beds, patio sets, and so on.
- Outdoor: Backyard buys like umbrellas, fire pits, saunas, and even house numbers.
- Dining: Anything you’d set your table with—plates, glassware, napkins, cutlery.
- Kitchen: All the analog essentials for a cooking space, from pots and pans to pantry storage.
- Lighting: Pendants, sconces, table lamps, and everything in between.
- Appliances, Fixtures & Finishes: Hardworking heroes both big (a washing machine, a stove) and small (a blender, a bathroom faucet, tile).
- Bed & Bath: Can’t-live-without bedding, towels, shower curtains, and the like.
- Walls, Floors, & Windows: Wallpaper, paint, rugs, and window treatments.
- Organization: Boxes, bins, baskets, and other clutter-busting tools.
- Little Luxuries: Have a small-but-mighty product that doesn’t fit into any of the above categories? (Think: a puzzle that becomes wall art or a candle that lasts forever.) Submit here.
Single-Winner Categories (1 Winner Each)
- Comeback of the Year: A brand-new launch or product revival that completely changed this year’s design conversation, whether by making a notoriously ugly item cool again, refreshing a retro trend, or proving the modern relevance of a once-discontinued creation.
- Collab of the Year: A boundary-pushing creative collaboration between two parties, such as a brand and a designer. In other words, a match made in design heaven.
