Enter the Wallpaper* Smart Space Awards 2023
The Wallpaper* Smart Space Awards are back to find the very best in new domestic design and technology: nominate your product
In just three years, the Wallpaper* Smart Space Awards have become a leading celebration of the best examples of domestic design and technology. Established to celebrate the year’s finest mix of innovation, style, sustainability and simplicity, it is the ultimate tech awards for the home.
Over the past two years, we’ve explored every conceivable category to find the greatest products from the latest design and tech for the home. From e-bikes to water bottles, hi-fidelity speakers and hi-visibility wallpaper, we’ve assembled two collections – the winners of the Wallpaper* Smart Space Awards 2021 and 2022 – that mark the cream of the crop.
For the 2023 awards, we’re demanding more of the same. Products that are low impact, high design, easy to use and easy on the eye, and – above all – make your life and living space just that little bit easier.
We believe that a Wallpaper* Smart Space Award is more than just an industry accolade; it’s a seal of approval for design that does its job and makes the world a better place. We’ll present a bespoke edit of the award-winners in a special online feature as well as in-depth coverage across our social media channels.
How to enter

We’re always actively seeking start-ups and innovators, young designers and new thinkers from across the disciplines.
