This year, 45 projects were nominated to compete in four categories:

2. Living Green Walls
3. Small but Mighty Green Interiors
4. Complexity, sustainability and long term maintenance.

we are proud to present the winners of 2025!

The 45 nominated projects were all judged by an expert, independent jury. Furthermore, the public was invited to vote for their favourite by engaging on social media.

The projects offered a great insight into the outstanding quality  and creativity the interior landscaping sector has to offer, as well as its vital contribution to beautiful, pleasant  and healthy indoor spaces. The jury was much impressed by the outstanding quality and creativity of the nominated projects.

The Public Award

During the 3 weeks in September 2025 all nominees in all categories could fight for winning the Golden, Silver or Bronze Public Award. The projects with the most likes and/or shares on Linkedin, Instagram or Facebook won in this category.

In a way this is an award recognizing efforts on social media throughout the year. Experience shows that companies with an active fanbase cannot be beaten with one time actions.

The jury of the EILO best project Award 2025

A jury of experts in the fields of interior landscaping, styling and sustainability decided over the Golden, Silver and Bronze awards in each regular category. The public -ofcourse- decided over the winners in the Public Award.
