I remember when I first started using Home Assistant; the default theme felt a bit plain.
So, I began exploring different themes to make my dashboard not just functional but also visually appealing.
Here are my top 5 Home Assistant Dashboard Themes
How to manually install a theme in Home Assistant?
Download the Theme
- First, find a theme you like. There are many available online, like on GitHub or Home Assistant community forums.
- Download the theme file, usually in
.yaml
format.

Create a Themes Folder
- In the configuration directory, create a new folder named
themes
if it doesn’t already exist.
Add the Theme File
- Place the downloaded
.yaml
theme file into thethemes
folder.
Update Configuration.yaml

configuration.yaml
file.
- Add the following lines to include the themes directory
frontend:
themes: !include_dir_merge_named themes/
Save the changes.
Restart Home Assistant
- After saving your
configuration.yaml
file, restart Home Assistant for the changes to take effect.
