Join us on February 20, 2025, at King Living in Vancouver—we'll be revealing the winners of our 2025 WL Design 25 live on stage!
If you’ve been to our Western Living Designers of the Year awards, you know that we know how to throw a great design party. And we’re thrilled to bring that sense of community, connection and fun to our brand new awards program, the WL Design 25—with its first-ever party, too.
On February 20, 2025, we’ll be hosting the first WL Design 25 Awards party at King Living, presented by La Salle College.
Grab your tickets now for the February 20 event, and join us in raising a glass to all of the WL Design 25 finalists and winners in the spacious King Living showroom in Vancouver. We’ll be mixing and mingling with the best of the west (including cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks from Duchess and canapés aplenty, of course) before revealing this year’s deserving WL Design 25 winners.
We’ll be announcing all of our winners live on stage—both the 25 champions of the judged category, and those taking home the coveted People’s Choice prizes—best product and best room.
Earlybird ticket prices are now in effect – but not for long! Once they’re gone, they’re gone. Our Western Living Designers of the Year party sold out – so grab your tickets while you can.
We can’t wait to see you there, and raise a toast to our incredible Western Canadian design community!
The editorial team at Western Living loves nothing more than a perfectly designed space, place or thing: and we’re here to tell you about it. Email us your pitches at [email protected].
