Baltimore magazine proudly presents its 4th Annual Home & Design Awards. The May 2026 issue will highlight the prodigious talent of our region’s architectural and interior design community—its builders, designers, architects, and contractors.

Winners will be announced at an awards reception in late April and featured in the May 2026 print issue.
