There’s design, and then there’s good design. Every year, Domino editors look at over hundreds—maybe thousands?!—of products to unearth the very best in home design, from furniture to lighting to appliances. We’re back at it for 2024, so here’s everything you need to know to submit your newest launches to our annual celebration of good design.

About the Domino Good Design Awards

The Domino Good Design Awards launched in 2022 to recognize the year’s very best in home products, from decor and furniture to lighting and textiles. We bring our eagle-eyed editors together to discuss, deliberate, and sometimes debate the winners across eight categories. And we’re ready to do it all over again, this time with even more products to celebrate. 

What are we looking for? Form and functionality, high-quality materials, simple care and maintenance, innovativeness in the category, and products that just make life easier (or at least more fun).
