A panel of four esteemed judges has been announced for the inaugural UK Bathrooms Design Awards.

Formed by online premium retailer UK Bathrooms, the awards are open to homeowners and professionals whether architect, interior designer or trade entry.

The expert panel of incredibly talented judges include interior design and lifestyle journalist Amy Moorea Wong, ex Features Editor of ELLE Decoration. As well as writing and commissioning editorial content for ELLE Decoration, Amy edited the inspiring bi-annual 100-page Bathroom and Kitchen guides. One of her favourite things to do is to predict and report on the season's most relevant interior trends, up and coming names and brands, innovative products and beautiful, contemporary design, and she has a strong affinity for design with an eco-edge. Amy has a particular penchant for bathrooms and in her own words "loves nothing more than a creative bathroom space".
