From viral "countertop cuties" to boundary-pushing furniture, the design authority launches its annual hunt to crown the year's ultimate home MVPs.

What separates a standard houseware purchase from an absolute, can't-live-without holy grail? Today, Domino officially opens submissions for the 2026 Domino Good Design Awards.

An annual celebration of standout market arrivals, the Good Design Awards serve as the definitive, shoppable cheat-sheet for the modern home. Over the coming months, Domino's editors will spend hours deliberating across a dozen categories to hand-select the Class of 2026.

"We aren't just looking for what looks pretty on a pedestal—we're looking for hard-working, high-style problem solvers that genuinely elevate the way we live," says Editor-in-Chief Lindsey Mather. "Whether it's a radical breakthrough in sustainable textiles, genius clutter-busting organization, or a dining table that anchors a home, these awards give readers the ultimate green light on what's actually worth their investment."
