The awards were live on October 8, 2020, but it's not too late for you to watch these top designers Zoom in from their studios and home design projects.
We came, we saw, we drank Prosecco: and we celebrated our 2020 Western Living Designers of the Year on October 8 via IDS Vancouver’s streaming platform. Twelve winning designers and Ones to Watch Zoomed in from their studios or toured us around a home from their winning portfolio. And the live audience toasted them along the way.
But for those of you couldn’t make the live screening, it’s not too late to see and learn from these top designers. Until October 31, IDS Vancouver will be screening our 2020 Western Living Designers of the Year Awards On Demand on their platform.
Editor at Large Stacey McLachlan (left) and Editorial Director Anicka Quin were live on site at Livingspace to broadcast our 2020 Designers of the Year Awards.
